Welcome!

Thanks for the heads up on that man. I'll have to check it out.

I really wanted to see Rampage fight Rashad. It would've been good. My favorite Lesnar fight was him against Couture. It looked like David and Goliath out there going at it. Too bad Couture didn't win that one. Sometimes they are just too BIG!

Man that game made me sick. The Panthers never stick to what they do best and that's running the ball. But the Dolphins played great football and came out with the win. I'm still angry about it though.

Those are some beautiful bass you have there. Thanks for sharing.

x2...When I'm having trouble getting a bite this choice of bait has rarely let me down. Just finesse fish it and you will be surprised.

Welcome to the forums!

Welcome to the site! You'll love this place!

Welcome! I'm from NC as well. You will love this place!

That could explain why some guys get drunk and then want to hug all of their friends and tell them they love them over and over again. And sometimes cry about stuff. Wow this really makes a lot of sense.

Deer jerky

Sounds like yall had an awesome time. Thanks for sharing .ghoti.

Wow!

x3 on this one....this way you don't run the risk of spooking the bass. Good luck man!

Yes I am definitely going to take a map over there and get him to try and point out his favorite spots. We asked him where they were when we talked to him. But I'm definitely going to keep my ears open with this old timer. He knows his bass fishing. Next time I'm home I will try to get some pics of the home made mounts of his.

Nice fish man!!

That is pretty dam funny!

Good lord man! When I read the title I thought maybe you caught some bluegill or something with your daughter. But it's no surprise to see a picture of you holding an enormous fish! Even if it's not a bass you seem to find and catch the biggest fish you are going for! I am jealous... 8-)

I dont consider it cheating but boring....yes I consider this method very boring. I think it actually turned me off from fishing in my early teen years because I remember spending hours on my grandpaws pontoon staring at my bobber or line when we were catfishing and just wondering when we were going to leave because I was bored. It's not cheating though.

I just love being outdoors in general enjoying nature. I also love the fight the bass puts up and feeling like I "tricked" the bass in HIS house at HIS game. I just love it.

That is awesome ChiCityBasser! I always love seeing kids faces when they catch fish! Priceless!

Now that is a deer! They don't make 'em like that down here in the Southeast! But we have good bass fishing...guess we can't have it all! I killed an eight pointer yesterday that wasn't even half the size of that monster. Wow!

Congratulations! Now you will know the true meaning of being wrapped around someone's finger! Trust me!

A few months back I was at my wife's grandmothers house and was outside practicing my flipping techniques and this old man that just moved in next door walked over and said he had some worms to give me if I wanted some. Well I thought he was talking about live worms so I told him I didnt need any at the moment but thanks for the offer. Well he kept insisting for me to come over to his building to check out his worms. So I walked over and was in disbelief when I saw all of these hawgs and I mean hawgs hanging on his wall. He probably had 4 or 5 that were double digits and another 15 that were 5 lbs or better hanging on his wall. So we get to talking about how he caught these and he pulled out his tackle and started showing me all these antique lures they dont even make anymore and some they still do like the Jitterbug. I asked him how he mounted his fish and he told me with a pocket knife and paper machet (i think that's how you spell it). He said he mounted all of thim himself probably over 30 years ago. But he said he ate all the fish he caught that were legal and the ones worth mounting he did that to. Anyhow I took my father-in-law over there yesterday so we could talk to him for a little while and try to gain some knowledge from him and he basically told us all of his fish were caught on plastic worms and live spring lizards on Lake York in SC. He's over 80 years old and doesn't have any grandchildren to pass his stuff down to and he can't fish anymore because he has arthritis so bad in his hands. So he tries to give me stuff everytime I go over there. I just wanted to share this with yall. I know he didnt practice catch and release but atleast he ate the fish before he mounted them!

That's a hawg right there!
