  1. Last spring while flipping shallow buck brush I was looking at my next flipping spot when I felt the snug little feeling of a bass; set hook really fast only to be rewarded with a 3/8 oz jig to the top of the head as I ducked.

    Got em at Academy, can't sell em, marked em down, still can't sell em
  4. Dude I could fry that up for ya
  5. I'll repeat It's depends on where you are from; down south crawfish have large pinchers so the bass are not intimated by them they will just sneak around behind the mudbug. Y'all ever watch a bass confront a crawfish? It aint the bass that's intimated!
  6. #1 confidence killer; Switching baits too often
  7. I would argue with your dealer about the Triton outrunning the Skeeter The difference between the I Class & the ZX series to me is like buying a Lincoln over a Ford it's mostly creature comforts. You will be impressed with the ZX225 and the Yam-A- Hammer You might also like Skeeter's Real Money Get Paid in 2008! $3,000 Cash = Fish & Win a Local and / or Regional Contingency Paying Event using your 2008 Skeeter Boat powered by a 225 horsepower Yamaha engine or larger and you will be eligible for $3,000 for a Win. $2,000 = Fish & Win a local and / or Regional Contingency Paying Event using your 2008 Skeeter boat powered by a 200 horsepower Yamaha engine or a 2007 Skeeter boat powered by a 225 horsepower Yamaha engine or larger and you will be eligible for $2,000 for a Win. $1000 = Fish & Win a Local and / or Regional Contingency Paying Event using your Skeeter boat powered by Yamaha and you will be eligible for $1,000 for a Win.

  9. Right now; Rat-L-Traps or Spinner Baits bounced of wood, stumps, logs ect
  10. I know y'all are tired of LSU football but last night I watched a replay of the game with my youngest son. The Earthquake Game is the name given to a famous college football game played in front of a crowd of 79,431 at Louisiana State University's Tiger Stadium on October 8, 1988. The game pitted Southeastern Conference rival Auburn Tigers against LSU and was one of the more notable games in the Auburn LSU rivalry. Along with national rankings, at stake was the eventual SEC title. The stadium was filled to capacity and the game was being broadcast on ESPN. Auburn led the game 6-0 with less than two minutes remaining in the 4th quarter. LSU's quarterback Tommy Hodson drove the team down the field before finally throwing a last chance 4th down touchdown pass to Eddie Fuller. The reaction of the crowd registered as an earthquake on the seismograph located in LSU's Howe-Russell Geoscience Complex around 1,000 feet (305 m) from the stadium. Surprised Fans, Stunned Geologists When LSU fans learned that their reaction registered on a seismograph, they were pleasantly surprised. But LSU geologists were downright stunned. Donald Stevenson, who worked for the Louisiana Geological Survey in 1988 and was in charge of LSU's seismic program, was the first to discover the seismograph reading. He went to the Howe-Russell Geoscience Complex the day after the game to change the recording charts in the seismic lab, and he noticed the large signal from Saturday night. When he realized the signal coincided with the touchdown, he labeled the seismogram and posted it in the building for all to see. "I knew it would be of interest to LSU fans after the game. What really amazes me is the interest that seismogram continues to generate so many years later." The seismogram also caught the eye of Riley Milner, research associate with the Louisiana Geological Survey, on Monday morning. "It was a total surprise. We never expected the seismograph to pick up the ground shaking from a football game. It was a solid register of jubilation in the stadium." What Made the Earth Move? One question LSU fans have been debating for the past 20 years is whether it was the crowd noise or the simultaneous jumping up and down of more than 80,000 people that registered on the seismograph. According to LSU geology professor Jeffrey Nunn, it was probably the jumping that did it. A seismograph measures ground motion, so the jumping up and down would be more likely, Nunn said. A cheering crowd would cause a sound wave in the air. For a sound wave to register on a seismograph, the air has to actually make the ground move. He paused. That does happen with sonic booms, so I guess a crowd could cheer loudly enough ...
  11. I carry 5 rod-n-reels year round Texas Rig Jig-N-Craw Light Texas Rig Spinner Bait Rat-L-Trap
  12. But fooman they look so good We aint talking about a 20'+ bass boat with a 250+ outboard You just have to pay attention to what you're doing, start stopping before you get to the red light or stop sign, drop down into low before pulling up a ramp.
  13. I've been here 2 years & aint seen no Pro yet
  14. Music role
  15. Hold up now that at the Catt I was at Toledo Tackle when that bass was caught & verified as being caught a second time miles away from where it was released.
  16. The distance a bass will travel to spawn is unknown by man but bass like the two Matt mentioned have traveled 17 & 22 miles respectively. Some bass on Toledo Bend's were hatched on main lake structure, spawn on main lake structure, and live their entire life never having seen a shoreline. At some points Toledo Bend is 5 miles wide so why would a bass not travel to the shore is an unknown since it is apparent they are capable. I was at Toledo Tackle when the second bass was weighed in at 12 pounds & change
  17. Come on Mike step up to the plate & take it like a man
  18. CJ, now that's being versatile Fishfordollors, my 2008 looks pretty slim due to lower back problems
  19. An automatic will out pull a standard because it knows better when or when not to shift. When pulling up a steep ramp with an auto as with the standard drop it down into low and ease on the gas. Disc brakes on all 4 wheels will help stopping but your problem will be your boat out weighing your tow vehicle and thus pushing it on emergency stops. Matt Fly pulls an 18' BassCat with a Dodge Durango with little to no problems.
  20. Triton boats are notorious for chine walking and a wet ride Skeeter & Champion boats are probably the best rough water ride out there; they both rule Toledo Bend which is known for rough water. One more consideration is how tough the hulls are and Skeeter is rock solid, so are Bass Cat's. I have 5 friends who own either boat dealerships or outboard shops and they all have more Merc's in the yard than Yamaha's. Like Brain I'm also looking closely at the Xpress boats, they handle rough water very well and despite what other say they are not prone to being blown around by the wind. I don't plan on buying any thing with over a 150HP, don't plan on doing the tournament trail thing cause I've been there and don that, I will fish some open tournaments.
  21. I on occasion use a Junebug Blue Jig with a Junebug Blue Craw
  22. I like 8-) My problem while I document every trip for some reason I always forget the camera or forget to use it. Gonna be my New Years resolution
  23. Ok first is it a fiberglass or aluminum boat; major difference in weight here Pulling a boat with a small tow vehicle is not going to be your problem, stopping it will be. Forget what you've heard an automatic will out pull a standard every time.
