For those of you unstocking the boat or tackle box. What do you do with the baits your unstocking? do you sell them back online or just toss them or give them to others? just curious as i think i would have to try and sell some myself if i had that much and unopened at that.

WOW those are some massive fish... Awesome day

I am really missing out on it as well... I am hoping to get on a vacation soon cause this stinks lol

I love topsail. I try to get their like once or twice a year. Such a great place

Congrats Man that is an awesome fish!

Ok thanks i will get on that... WHen your not fishing how should you keep the drag or keep it the same as when your fishing. I think that is all the questions that will pop up on my reel... Thanks again

thanks for the site and information

sorry for putting this in the wrong spot.

how do the spotted bass get into the ponds and lakes?

What is the best way to set the drag on your reel? i typically set it so that it will pull off the reel with a fair amount of pressure but when i catch one i find that i have to tighten it during the fight. It might be cause i am using a light rod right now with a light or extra light reel. cant remember off my head... Any suggestions on how to do this properly? Also i have looked at the articles but dont quite understand how to properly clean and keep your reel working properly. Can you use WD40 on it?

Did you keep the fish? If so what did you do with it? Either way thats a great HAWG!

Great day it looked like. Keep up the good work as long as you can. Keep the pics and stories coming we love em

Darn school! I wasnt able to check in to see if the second round was gonna be a go. Oh well i def want in on round 3 i will try and keep posted to see if it happens

Great footage i cant wait to get back out this weekend

What are you trying? Any cranks? Lipless?

Thanks guys for all the congrats. Hope that everyone has tight lines and new PB's soon

If you do nothing else you must get a pair of Pliers... They are the easiest way to get a stubborn hook out. You wont have this problem again you can always get the hook out.

You really need to report that abuse. You can do it anonymously if your afraid of someone finding out its you reporting it.

I am loosing lures on tree stumps from shore. I just caught a nice lunker and the next day out i thow the trap in the same area and snag on a stump loosing the bait. I have lost probably 7-8 this year on similar situations. Any help on getting a lure back from shore short of swimming out to it. (which i almost did had i not had to go somewhere right after fishing)

Yeah it sure does feel great. Gonna be kinda hard to break that one anytime soon. Just started fishing 4 months ago and to get something like that is AWESOME! Cant believe it took me so long to get back into fishing!

Great story keep it up... I am gonna try and get out myself today just to take advantage of it all... Good luck

Jesse its a Nikon CoolPix point and shoot. Its 10 Mega Pix. Finally got the pic to work last night although still cant get the one in the frame still as you can see

Thanks Bass... What is a good scale in your opinion or other peoples opinion also?

Thanks for the places guys I am from Ocean City and looking for one myself i'll look for the info on these sites

Great advice thanks! Where in Maryland do you fish? i am out in Ocean City and fish some ponds/rivers out here. Family is back in Bowie and Ellicott City area. Cant wait to get some of these items and fish this winter a little.
