Bass Dreams
Does anyone else have dreams about bass? I know I have them atleast 6-9 times a month I can only remember one but what I can remember is wakeing up often knowing I just had another fishing dream. The one I can remember is really weird I caught a real big bass 8-10lber in nasty water I ended up diving in to get it lipped it up took it to shore weighted it and it was 0.9 lbs :-? thats all i can remember.

Frog Baits
The size of the lake wont effect whether the frog works or not. What I do is the most simple approach ill throw a frog where i think frogs are present like muck or lilly pads things like that. The best place to throw a frog is the smallest bodies of water actually (ponds)

Your favorite spinnerbait.
Ya I saw the t-2 special ill probably see you there ill be the guy with 20+ of them. I like terminaters ive tried others with sucess but the terminater custom is amazing I love them the t-1's are nice too and the S.S. are an amazing value.

Answering a previous question- I dont think they need to be changed its a high quality product and I think they use gamakatsu bc i know the bronz eye does.

cheap crankbaits
I love manns minus 1 have caught tons of fish. I own some frenzy bc I take beginners out alot and dont want them losing my Lc or bagelys so I let them use the frenzy's and guess what they actually catch alot of fish.

If you can get out on wyman lake itll be worth your while I beleave there ramp is closed i know you can get a jon boat or raft on the lake legally. It is got to be just about the best lake in NE Charlie Moore did a show on it. Ive caught a bass over 8 on it my friend had one right around 7 and my brother had one just under 6 I've been out there probly 10 time on a boat so thats solid results. Ive heard of other 8lbers pulled out of there.

Ma state record
The Ma state record is over 15 is there any expanations to it? how did a bass in Mass get so big? There are alot of arguments about the word record being shady do you think this could be shady to it is an old record? I beleave the bass was caught through the ice also? Anybody that knows alot about this record please share your knowledge.

Biggest Bass Swimming in the North
What do think the biggest bass swimming in Mi or Ma/NH. In Ma the state record is huge like 15-7 or something like that I used to fish with this guy who knew what he was talking about real sharp and he said during the spawn he had seen fish in gin clear water about 10 feet down during the spawn that weighed every bit of 11lbs but wouldnt budge or pay any attention to any bait. I heard a simaler story from the kid in washington I forget his screen name but he was a long time member and got into some scholarship program I beleive. He told a very simaler story about some 10+ lb bass in Washington that just would budge for nothin. Ive had a 9lb bass on my line in Mi and I got a real good look at it, and Ive caught an 8lber so I know what a 9er looks like so what do you think the biggest bass are swimming in these states up in the north. Our state record is right below 12 in Mi but I would have to say there are bass swimming somewhere in our 11000 lakes that have to be over 10. What do you think? any estimates or reports?

How many in a good day?
It really depends where I'm fishing if its a big lake and I'm targeting bigger fish then 5-8 is a solid day. If Im fishing a pond then ill expect 30 fish or so.

If you could only fish ONE lure the rest of your life....
I went with a spinnerbait 3/8 to 1/2 0z in black bith silver blade for the same reasons reelmechanic said you can jig them swim them burn them
