BassnMan Mike

As of 1:37 Ike is leading. Come on Skeet!

I saw the current footage earlier today. I dont know what kind of fish he just caught.

Here's the link I'm using but I'm starting to think its not live http://sports.espn.go.com/outdoors/tournaments/bassCast/index

I thought the same thing when watching the replay this morning when one angler had all of his fish laying on the carpet to cull

I've been watching Skeet but I have Verizon as my ISP

When were not bass fishing my buddy Tom and I like to catch crappie, striped bass and native trout.

Welcome to BR.

Hello back atcha from California

Welcome to the board and the United States.

Welcome. I grew up and learned to fish in AZ, made the transition to CA bass fishing easy. Both states have deep clear water lakes

Welcome

Welcome to BR!

Welcome John, from another California dude

YO Bubba!

Hi back atcha! Welcome to the site.

Howdy. Welcome to the site

YO! Welcome to the site!

I'm rooting for a couple CA guys, Aaron or Skeet

If I'm reading ESPN right KVD didnt make the cut

John, are referring to Haiwee? If so, its actually owned by SATAN aka LADWP, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. That fishery is one of the best in the world as far as I'm concerned. SATAN closed it because they claim its a Homeland Security issue but the bottom line is they want their own private fishing hole. Originally when they were forced to open it after some 50 years, they put all kinds of rules to inconveience fishermen but we put up with all their stupid rules just because the fishing was that good. I can homestly say that I would gladly pay $100.00 a day to put my boat on either the upper or lower lake, its that good! Quite awhile back, several years now, I started a petition and it got pretty big. WON published it in their paper as well as online. I contacted BASS/ESPN. The petition was passed around several CA boat shows and was signed by countless anglers. I dont remember exactly who it was but some organization said they said that they were posed to file a suit against SATAN if they went ahead with the closure then NOTHING. I thought for sure BASS would have helped us out. Can you tell this is a touchy subject

That would be my guess as well

Please tell me your kidding. I've caught alot of very big bass on them. My only complaint is they are not very durable. As to what lure does not work...... Roland Martins Helicopter Lure. What a joke!

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. There is lots of good information here. Hopefully I'll be able to add to it.

Have you looked at the Fold Cat by Sea Eagle? I've got my Champion, a 12 foot Jon Boat and a float tube but the Fold Cat is looking pretty sweet.

Great picture Glenn! Isnt he a blast to fish with? Yeah, Ryan is not small and as you can tell by my picture, neither am I.
