Illinois Power Plant Lakes
I thought you couldn't fish any of the docks at Egypt... I was pretty sure I heard that you have to be at least 10ft away from any dock if you are fishing.

Bowfin
Nice! They are a nasty fish for sure, but fight good. A guy that works with one of my buddy's caught but didn't know what it was, and he lipped it to try to get the hook out! My buddy said his thumb was all tore up.

Spell Check Gone....
00 Mod, after selecting spell check go down to languages and select English / United States... Just saw it works on your home computer... It wouldn't work for me until I selected English under languages...

Whats Your Favorite Weedless Topwater Lure??
I have never done well with the rage fogs(with hook ups), but thats just because I couldnt get them to run right side up. I purchased some keel weighted hooks and will be trying them again this year... Spro frog, and fluke are both great in grass. Drop the fluke into a whole in the grass and hold on!

Best Lure Choice For In The Morning?
I would give a buzzbait a shot, they will still hit topwater with the cooler water. I caught a 5lb 11oz bass on a buzzbait at 6:30 in the morning with air temps in the low 40's... If thats not working for ya work the swim jigs and regular jigs in the grass..

Ouch!
How are they doing that? Someone should make a video on how to get a hook out of someone... It just looks like they are tying braid around the barb that went into the skin and pulling it straight out? If I ever have to do that I want to do it the right way and not mess someone up or myself by doing it the wrong way.

Jig Fishing Question......
I've had a cut so bad that it was in almost and 1/8 and had to have my buddy pull it out. That happened to me because I didnt move my fingers in time...

Where are all the Illinois Guys ?
I have only been fishing in the pond behind my house but have been catching decent size and numbers. Our tournaments start this month for our club, so I will be getting out more.

Jig Fishing Question......
I ALWAYS fish with my finger on the line, except moving baits... Yeah braid can suck when it digs in to your finger but it will heal lol, and it has only happened once... If you are use to fishing with your finger on the line I would make all other setups the same. I couldnt imagine fishing without my finger on the line, it just feels natural for me.

Looking To Buy A Deep Cranking Rod.....

Veritas Winch
I also have the Veritas Winch MH 7'6" rod and like it a lot. Its a very sensitive rod that I believe can do anything you want cranking wise with it,

Jig Problems
I would also think about getting a reel with a higher gear ratio... I like to use 6.4 or higher for plastics and jigs.

Free Trokar Hooks!
I hope I get atleast a 3/0 hook, all of these looks that are mentioned I never use... I think they are just unloading thier most unpopular hooks on us.

How Many Of You Fish From The Back Of The Boat
I love fishing from the back of the boat, I dont have to worry about the trolling motor and get to focus on working my bait. Everyone I have fished with has been great and never keep me out of the fish...
