Hammer 4

Not to be a hater, but please tell me you didn't lay that beauty on the grass...... :-/ Is a nice fish though.

Must be nice to step out of your back yard and catch quality bass...ummm, did I mention that I hate you..? ;D JK Nice fish, btw, gotta extra room for rent..?

Hey Tom...welcome to BR...there's a few of us old fa#t's here, always good to have another on board.. ;D

Stats alone aren't always a measure of a person's sucess..

Great Dogs, and I agree with Raul, in fact that goes for any pedigree pup. Yes Rotti's along with other dogs hava a bad rap, most of it's hype, or due to iresponsible ownership.. My nieghbor had 2 Rotti's very sweet dogs.

Yep, I had a bag of strike king 3X in red shad that floated real well..problem is they get torn up real fast..

CA. Nv. and Az...I know...I don't get around much...lol

I can't see the pic all that good, but it appears like the tounge is missing..? Bout 20 yrs ago, I saw a dual hull sliding down the 110 frwy in downtown L.A...luckly there weren't any cars hit. Just the center chainlink fence.

Can't decide for ya on the rod, but yep the 2500 will match up nicely.. Pssst...I vote for the 7 mf..

All white, bleeding white, chartruse/white, and white shad..

Pearl white, and shad works well for so cal....hmmm, that rymed.. ;D

Ditto..

Cool..my neighbor had a black lab named Lucy too, very Mellow pup.

Glad it worked out, but I can relate to your pain.. Short story re: auto vandilisum...when I was 15 or 16, we were riding in a friends car, out on these old dirt roads. We passed a fairly new Plymouth sedan, we noticed the radio antena broken, but thought nothing of it..So we drive about 1/8 mile down the road and park, we'er sittin there talkin when these 2 guys walk up, they look to be about 20 or so. They ask if we tore up their car, we said no, but noticed the antenna broken as we drove by. Welp the the guys start acusing us of doing the damage, we try in a friendy manner to explain we Didn't touch their car, when outta the blue, Wham, this dude hits me in my forarm with a 3/4" drive socket wrench..made a pretty nice hole in my arm..for something I/we never did. They then walked off..I never filed a police report. The moral,,make sure you have the Right guilty party.. My moto re: my truck is...you toucha my truck..I breaka you face..

So, the question is, ..did you say anything to the dorks..?

Welcome to the Bassresource...lots of info. and good times here..Enjoy your stay..

Howdy Eric, Welcome to the best bass stie on the planet..enjoy your stay

Shimano and a lot of other Mfrs will often designate reels designed for more/heavier line, within a Series, with larger numbers. Is that what you are asking? Yes that is what i was trying to get at. I saw on the site it lists the different aspects of the diff models but i did not understand the numbers such as Line Cap: 6/200, 8/140, 10/120 Line cap..6 lb test the reel will take 200 yds of line, 140 yds of 8 lb test, and so on..number of yds decreases as the reel size gets smaller, i.e. the 1000 will hold less line that the 2500 or 3000. I hope this is what your asking, sometimes my brain, shesa no worky to good..lol

Good post, I'm sure a few folks will benifit from your info... BTW, your gonna love the ultrasoft on the spinning rigs..

Good to hear your gettin back to fishing..Your gonna find this is by far THE best bassin site on the interwebs..bar none. Anyways, Welcome, and enjoy your stay.. 8-)

You guys have some cool pups..here's my 1yr. 3mo. old pit mix..his name is Chance, cuz we took a chance that he may not live when we got him from a shelter. At 8 wks, he weighed under 5 lbs, and had a ton of medical problems, now and many vet visits later..he's a healthy 63 lbs..and a terror..lol he hates having his picture taken..lol
