Ever wonder what a billion dollars looks like?
LOL every time I think of large sums of money or bank vaults I think of Duck Tales... Then I realize I'll never have that amount of money!

First musky and some questions
Ah, I knew the middle one was (holding it up to the camera) but I couldn't tell on that one thrashing around... They are both mean and will snap at you any chance they get

J that has to be the funniest picture I have seen in awhile. That muskie was out for blood!

Was this the Thermocline?
+2 on the suspending jerkbaits. Get one down to their level and just let it sit. Give it some jerks on slack line and turn it around and they will smash it!

T-Rig worms help!
I'll agree with the colors that have been said previous, but I also like to use laminates. Black/blue and black/red T-Rigged ribbon tail worms have been the best producers for me when the bite is tough. I fish a dirty old canal with a huge carp population and a very small largemouth population. The largemouth in there only seem to eat two things, tubes and these laminate worms

First musky and some questions
Have a look at where this guy has his hand. That's about where you want to slip your hand in. There's a sharp piece of bone along the gill, I think Walleye and Pike have this bone also, but that is what can cut you. Nice musky! I'm still working on mine!

Hs anyone used the Bomber "sexxy shad" crankbait?
No, I use Strike King's sexy shad's colors though. I like the series 6 and 4. I'm sure that one works just as good though. That is a dynamite color scheme. Another good one to try if Bomber makes a similar color is the Chartreuse Sexy Shad.

Frosty beverage thread
No idea where the guy got it nor if I will ever see this stand again, but a guy selling cheesesteaks at a fair this year had that creme soda in his machine! Pretty good stuff, I was confused as to why it was blue but who cares - it was tasty EDIT: Nevermind, it was probably Moxie. I didn't know they made a blue creme soda too...

Tactics and Strategy For the Fall
Central Pa Already said but I fish faster and target the shallow weedlines vs. being IN the weeds in the summer. I can't wait until the end of fall when I can really start using suspending jerkbaits on the cold waters! Most people hate using jerkbaits slower than they do tubes, but I love it!

Fishing podcasts?
Thanks! Can't find them on listen, but I'll see if I can find their rss feed and manually add them.

Fishing podcasts?
Anyone have any good fishing podcasts or the like? I need a reason to use google listen haha. I could only find one that Orvis does. Its pretty good but I want something a little more bass related...

Anyone use the Laser Lures?
I can't bring myself to pay that much for a crank, but they are built pretty well. I think anything red is going to increase your chances of a strike though, laser or not. Just paint your bills red

Score: Tubes 0 - Senkos 18 --- What am I doing wrong with my tubes?
I have the opposite problem. I rarely catch senko fish but always can get them on a tube. I fish tubes so slow, painfully slow. Just drag them across rocks and every once in awhile give it a quick twitch. This morning I had a smallie about take the rod out of my hand when my tube first hit the water. He took off but I ripped it out of his mouth I had the hook point into too much plastic and it didn't pop out when I set the hook.

Ragetail question....Big-O
Which dicks are you going to? State college has a decent selection of colors but never has anything other than craws, eliminators, shads and anacondas... You can thank big O for the rage line

Suspending crankbaits
Suspending cranks are about the best lure to use in the winter. I love cranking a crank or jerkbait to a certain depth, then just let it sit. Something will eventually come along and eat it. For any other time though, floating is the way to go. Smack it off something, let it float up a bit, and start cranking again. GREAT lure for clipping grass too.

Raystown
Thanks for the tip! I have some 6 inch and 4.5 inch Shadalicious swims (Sexy shad and Neon ghost minnow). I may get a few hard swims from TT before the trip, but I have to watch because my Jeep (which is my tow vehicle) is leaking gas out of the fuel filter and I need to save to fix that (shouldn't be more than $50 so IF I can do it myself ).

Favorite Soft Plastic for Drop Shot?
Ah man, thats a tough question.... I have several answers: Worm: Luck E Strike 4 inch ribbon tail (either blue or purple (the blue smell awesome!)). Fluke: Whatever fluke I have in my box HA Skippy Fish makes a great product that I have been loving so far! Shad: Tru-Tungsten Depth Shad (yeah, it's kind of like a fluke, but who cares HA). I always nose hook my drop shots with octopus hooks (usually a size 1 or 1/0). You get more action out of doing nothing when you nose hook. I really need to start drop shotting more though. I'll admit, it's one technique I don't do enough and I should!

New to fishing please help
+2 on the Texas Rigging post. Learn to T-rig a soft plastic and fish it a few different ways (slow, fast, bounce it off the bottom, etc) and you'll be able to catch fish most of the time! Start there and work you way into different techniques (jigs, cranks, spinnerbaits, etc).

Frosty beverage thread
Sweet! I love myself a good Birch Beer or Sarsaparilla Soda every once and awhile... but NOTHING beats Cheerwine for me I think it tastes best in the glass bottles, but I'll take the Cheer anyway I can get it haha
-
Frosty beverage thread
Hha YES!!! Man now I want Taco Bell, but for me a nice glass of Birch Beer from PA. God if only close enough to get some. Oh let me not forget Hanks Vanilla Cream Soda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well well well, are you down South enough to get Cheerwine? I'll send you cases and cases of Birch Beer in exchange for Cheerwine! My aunt lives in Pinehurst NC and she brings me cases up every time she visits, my stash is running low...
