Way too cool. I want one.

You'll dig those Roboworms, Ohio. They make such fantastic plastics.

Wow. I was wondering what happened to him. Hope everything works out for him. You're in my prayers Burley.

Sometimes I really wonder about you, Ed....

Congrats!

If you've got to ask, you probably can't afford one. I would have been in tears, Robert. You may be able to find a specialty shop, but that will probably be really hard. Like Alpster said, you'll probably be better off getting it replaced.

Agreed. Now if you think you are doing excessive harm to the fish, by all means cut the line and stick him back in the water. You want to stress the fish as little as possible. Like mentioned before in the thread, using debarbed hooks will solve this problem.

Well put, Bass Ninja. Sorry you have to go through that, Starr. People in general really need to learn to appreciate the smaller things in life more, myself included. Just spending time with a good friend or family member should always be treated as something special. Enjoy each day to the fullest. You never know when your time is coming.

Weather actually looks good for this weekend. Warming trend started today. Supposed to be close to 70 by Saturday.

No. It just causes excess screen clutter. Your sonar will be far easier to read with the pretty fish pictures turned off.

The only thing I would add to Piscicidal's list is some straight shank hooks in various sizes.

30.6 on my thermometer outside on the back patio. Thankfully this will be gone in a couple of days.

Of course they don't. Although once it does happen, people will get to yell and cry about Miami being full of thugs again. Just remember, Howard Schnellenberger changed college football when he came to Miami and started recruiting like he did. Everybody hates the team that did something first. 136 consecutive regular season weeks a Hurricane has scored a touchdown in the NFL.

Uh, no thanks. It's plenty cold enough down here.

Trying not to freeze my butt off right now.

Dude! It's frigid outside right now!

Yet another reason to love the Florida community. WTG FishinDaddy.

I love how everybody still regards Miami's players (even the old ones) as thugs. Almost every college team that is on top has had people arrested for various things. I never heard anybody calling the Gators a bunch of thugs, even though they had more arrests and whatnot while Urban Meyer was there.

20+ pounds is pretty impressive given the conditions. Sounds like some people had fun days, others had horrible days. I'm not sure if I could have dealt with the cold and the wind blowing so hard. Glad you guys didn't have any problems with the dropping water and bad weather.

Not a fan of the interior of the house. I do a lot of work down in that area, the exterior is gorgeous. Some of the interior pieces seem a bit dated to me. Not a fan of that faux stone ceiling in the kitchen at all.

Hooks, sinkers, and soft plastics.

Agreed. You can't argue with his recent coaching resume. As long as he's willing and able to recruit in the State of Miami, he should do fine. Hopefully he'll change Randy Shannons idea of not allowing the previous players around the team. Miami doesn't have many traditions, that has always been one of them. For some reason Shannon made it a big no no. We'll see what happens.

Out of what I regularly use: Shimano Crucial 7'6" MH Flippin Stick. 40-50# Braid. Theres not much that I can't do with that rod.

I'm not happy with Miami's pick. That being said, I'll give the guy some time to prove himself. I would rather have seen Tuberville or Leach. The Gators picking up Muschamp was a good choice.

Can't argue with, well, anything you said. The Ravens look really good. The only caveat is the way the Pats have been playing the last couple of weeks.
