Lunker?
I'd say 6 lbs and up you're in Hawg territory ;D Down south it's either Tight Eyes (eyes are close together), keeper (14+) or Hawg

Toledo Bend
Generating Schedule / Lake Level as of 06/05/07 7:00 am Lake level: 170.88 Generator 1: Currently 7 hrs/2 pm 9 pm Generator 2: Currently 7 hrs/2 pm 9 pm Spillway Gates: Currently shut down Surface Temperatures: 76-79 degrees due to cooler nights and rainy days. The bass are on summer patterns with a lot of fish Suspended in 12-25' of water but just about any technique is producing. Monday I got 5 very dependable reports at work about using wacky worms & 5 Senkos fished in 10-12' early/late as well a crank baits. Carolina Rigs/Texas Rigs/Jigs and a few on buzz baits at night. I would plan on fishing early/late or at night since the heat and humidity of mid-day is killer as you well know. I'm trying to put together a trip to meet t bend tex (Larry Gerald) but haven't had any luck due to a death and illness in the family. My kids asked what I wanted for Father's Day and naturally I said a couple of days on the lake since I haven't been since March. Tommy T

How to mount a trolling on this boat
Check out this one on a Alweld, I would suggest you have it welded in place and bolt it through the bracket. http://www.alweld.com/Alweld%20Website%2001-17-07_files/page0003.htm

Best jighead style for heavy timber
You may want to check out SOB Fishing Products they sell Oldham's Jigs on line, Terry Oldham does not have a web site for selling tackle. Black/Blue, Black Neon, Coon Tail-Black/Brown/Amber I use ¼, 3/8, & ½ most of the time; I probably throw 3/8 oz more because that is the particular fall rate the bass on Toledo Bend prefer but I will go to ½ oz in the summer when fishing deep structure or 5/8 oz for matted Hydrilla. http://soblures.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=45

Personal Best's
June 30th July 6th 1978 while on the way to Toledo Bend I told my ex-wife if I caught a bass over 6 lbs I was going to have it mounted. During that week I caught 12 bass from 6 1/8 7 3/4 in Polo Gaucho Creek on a spot we call Machine Gun Ridge and my PB is now 12.8; still not had a bass mounted or a replica made.

Close encounters of the scary kind
Gotta Love It, here in Louisiana we don't remove the gators, the law states Don't feed the gators, so if you're dumb enough to feed em you're dumb enough to get bit. About 3 weeks ago there was a 13 footer found in a drain canal inside the city limits, it had been killed by a larger gator. Redlinerobert, Tony Lama mean any thing to you?

Boat Coloring - Effect on Bass
One of my favorite Team Tournament buddies has a bright red Skeeter Wrangler; we have been winning tournaments out of this boat since 1977 when he bought it new. My tournament sponsor shirts are bright red; red is my color. Movement will spook fish regardless of what color you are wearing

Co-Angler Etiquette
I would straight out ask for his thoughts on the subject, be firm without being rude. I understand him not wanting you to help with things concerning the boat but I would insist on paying my fair share of the expenses.

NHRA & I go way back; I drove in the B-Modified Production Class & worked in the pits between races, there's nothing like the smell of Nitro-methane. My favorite Hottie was Jungle Jim's Pam Liberman

crystal clear water
When faced with crystal clear water I find it better to fish on days that are overcast or I'll fish it at night.
