BPS Pro Qualifier vs BPS Carbonlite
For the most part they seem to be the same reel. The handle on the Carbonlite is carbon fiber. The main gear of the Carbonlite is made of a different material as well. Other than that, same reel. The cast control knob clicks on the Carbonlite, but that really doesn't matter. If you need pictures, let me know. I've got a few PQ's and a Carbonlite sitting in the garage.

World Cup
My family has a stadium box for the local stadium, I 'm not much of a soccer fan but I ocassionaly go to see the local team ( Leon ) play, man if you find that sound annoying while watching an aired game you should experience it in the flesh ..... and to make it even worse, my home is located not far from the stadium and one of the streets from where the traffic from the stadium flows after the game passes right next to my house, so not only I "enjoy" vuvuzela sound at the stadium when I go but also when I don 't go > , vuvuzela, horns, screams, flags, win or loose the local club it don 't matter. I went down to Azteca for the last Mexico/US match. The vuvuzelas aint got nothing on crazy drunken Mexican fans. Those dudes are flippin ridiculous.

king mackerel rod holder
Theres almost nothing better than a baitrunner when free lining for kings. I've got a couple that I use only for that purpose when we hit up the reefs with a good chumslick. Like snook said, you can use a light drag just as well. Pay attention though, if you're using a smaller reel, you can find yourself re-spooling. As far as the rod holder, a good tie down is always smart when dealing with fish like kings. And if you need to clamp it down, make sure you measure the railing first. I've never been one to trust those things though, I'd rather be able to blame myself if I lose a rod.

World Cup
One of the best matches I've seen in a long time, period. World Cup, League, pick up games, etc etc. Spectacular action throughout. The Algerian keeper played simply amazing. If it weren't for him, the US would have put at least another two or three in the net. Scoring in the 91st minute was just....FREAKIN EPIC!!!1111 You just gotta love the drama of the World Cup. It don't get much better.

Fishing Shoes
Plantar fasciitis I picked it up a couple of years ago playing soccer. Had to wear this strange immobilizing boot at night for a long time before it got any better. Combine that with a cortisone shot and I was good to go after a while. Still acts up once in a while. Painful stuff.

300 Pound Marlin Tows Kayak 11 MILES
It's quickly becoming a popular thing. I can't remember the last time this year that I've gone offshore to do some trolling for Billfish and Dolphin that I haven't seen some kayaks milling around a larger boat. He's lucky he didn't hook up with a large Marlin. Four and a half, five hours, on a small Marlin is just plain silly. I understand he was using 20lb test, but you're seriously doing damage to the fish at that point. You can see how brown he is at the end of the video. Hopefully they took a good while to revive it behind the large boat.

Favorite Fishing Snack
I've got to add something to my list: Pistachio Nuts. I've become re-addicted to these things again. I gotta stay away from the red ones, stain your fingers. But man do they ever taste good....

Custom Audi R8.
Not the best R8 I've seen, certainly ranks high up there though. There are a few ridiculously nice ones prowling around my area. I personally would have painted that goofy panel on the side the same matte finish as the rest of the car. Gotta love the good job with the VHT Nightshade on the tail lights.

Is it Bad to Leave Rods in the Hot Summer Heat Inside a Car?
With the crazy temps we've got down here in South Florida during the summers, even more so right now, I wouldn't be comfortable leaving my gear inside of a car for the day. It's got to get to 150+ degrees in a car down here on a hot day. Can't be good for any types of adhesives on a rod. That certainly can't be good for grease inside of a reel either. I'm not sure what quantifies "high heat" in lubes, but it's gotta thin it down some in a reel at some point.

Lakers Win
God only knows how different this series could have been if Ray Allen had actually shown up for more than a game. For such an amazingly talented player, he had an abysmal Finals.

Lexus Supercar
Nide ride, but a bit too pricey for what still boils down to be a Toyota. I saw the Top Gear episode on it, seems to be a nice ride. One thing every person thats reviewed it has complained about though has been the lackluster gearbox. I'm with Redlinerobert, give me the Carrera GT. But I'm a Porsche guy, so I'd rather have one of those anyway. I could probably be persuaded into an R8 if I had to pick something else to blow a wad of cash on. Theres something about those Audi's that I just like.

Love the stuff that Romeo makes. Great line of plastics. Lately though, I've been using the Gambler Ugly Otter and BB Cricket a lot.

Braided Line
I use braid to fluoro with a uni-uni connection for almost all of my fishing. I've got no complaints at all with it. It makes worm fishing ridiculously simple. The sensitivity with it compared to mono is gross.
