Are you kidding me?! This is the coverage I get from ESPN?! Wasn't even worth my time trying to keep up to the coverage!

I sort of want to laugh about it and I know it's not right, it is tragic...but when are people going to leave wild animals alone? Something like this happens and these type people are completely stunned, as if they never would have thought that it could ever have happened. Good God, there's a reason why they're called, "WILD" animals!

The classic is coming up, so I went to both sites to read up on the two groups. I didn't really find the answers I was looking for, so can you explain the difference between the two?

My dad got me into fishing mainly crappie, walleyes, and catfish when I was younger. Then I got interested in girls and it stopped for a few years. When I got married and the girls stopped lining up, the bug came back and I got back into walleye, catfish, and northern pike fishing. Did that for a few years until a friend of mine introduced me to top water bass fishing and I instantly got hooked. I remember after my first bass fishing trip, I went out for two weeks straight. My obsession with bass fishing is out of hand at times and my wife thinks I'm just crazy. I'm a multispecies fisherman, but overallI love to chase after those bass.

I haven't tried the rest of the baits, but the toad is by far the best buzz frog out there on the market - IMO.

2007 Toyota Tundra 5.7L

I love'emespecially the ones dressed in a skirt. I fish them exactly like a buzz bait on the surface in and around weeds. It has a unique side to side wobble and has been a big producer for me. I've been really impressed with it, but I guess not a lot of people use them because I can't seem to find them anywhere now. I would definitely buy more if I can get my hands on them.

Saw you on for about 3 seconds...it just goes to show that even the pros get skunked too. Good show.

I trim my skirts fairly close to the hook and I also trim down the brush guard.

I go strictly because I want to see what they're carrying. Next, I want employees there to leave me alone unless I need their assistance. I usually don't like to stick around too long if I really don't need to. Plus, I get the best information from here.

MLB is such a poorly run league. We all know other professional sports league have their fair share of substance abusers, but the MLB continues to leave all their dirty laundry out to the public to see. Good God, they have evidence that should have been disposed of and yet they leave it lying around for years in case something like this should arise, then display it for the world to see. It almost seems like they knew this was going to happen, so they just want to hang on to all the evidence to tarnish the league. Now days when you hear about steroids, you automatically think MLB. Players after players being accused, they stand in front of congress and proclaim their innocence and then later found out to be lying. Time after time have we heard players make the claim that they did not know what they were injecting into their bodies. Are you serious?! How could a professional athlete who takes better care of his body not know what's being injected into their bodies?! The whole recent Bond story how the Feds raided and obtain Bond's negative test samples that somehow ended up positive. Sample that tested negative, test that was supposed to be anonymous, and tests that was supposed to be disposed of years ago. And yet, here it is still lying around in labs just waiting for the Fed to come raid it years later. I'm sorry, I believe Bonds did use, but in fairness what happened was not fair and it seems like the Feds just want to pin it on someone. The MLB is an out of controlled grease fire.

The red factor question again. I find it contradicting one another how fish will see the red hooks better and yet at the same time red lines are near invisible. I don't buy into it. Personally, I do not see any improvements using red hooks and prefer using normal hooks. Plus I really hate how the red color chips off the hook.

I hope it's for good this time. He should have stayed retired last year. There's that chance that he may want to be release so he can go to the Vikings. He's given the league 18 great years and will always be a Packer. It's time to retire #4 at Lambeau Field.

The only reason why it's even a big deal is the fact that he's an Olympic Gold Medalist. "I'm a Olympic Gold Medalist...Oh it's true, it's d**n true!" - Kurt Angle

When we kill animals we are murderers, when PETA kills animals they are simply putting them to sleep forever. I hate having them go around preaching and pointing the finger at how bad you and I are, when they themselves are doing the same d**n thing! > PETA world's biggest bunch of hypocrites!

I would head out with the new electronic and check out new water. I banked fish for a long time before I got my boat and when I didI went looking for new fishing holes. Look for visible and underwater structures. Familiar yourself with the body of water you're fishing. Once you found new spotsyou're fishing arsenal and approach will broaden significantly. Go out and enjoy the new scenery. There are so many factors that will play into the way you will approach a situation. Seasonal patterns, weather condition, boating pressure, and etc.

I've found that the rage toad has been the best buzz frog, so I will give the anaconda a try.

I like this layout better than the other FTO hook/weight box. It's hard to beat these FTO boxes, got 11 of them and love every one of them.

This is what I do in my situation. I fish a lot of rocks and weeds. I have all braided line on all my reels with fluoro leaders. I do not have the luxury of having multiple setups specifically for lines so when I need to fish the thick weeds I leave the fluoro leader off. When I do fish areas with rocks, sparse cover, open water, or clear water the leader goes on. Get the best of both worlds. The only thing that bugs me about using a leader is when the jointed knot goes through the last guide on the tip of the rod and makes that little tick on the way out.

I'm doing a PowerPoint presentation on bass fishing and I want to make sure my information is correct. In the professional circuit, there are only two right? The Bassmasters & FLW Outdoors? What's the difference between them?

I have an older model and in my situations, I've found it rather difficult and a hassle to use. It's a hassle to feed the line down and trying to keep the camera fixed in one direction. It tends to want to spin if the boat is moving. It's difficult to determine which direction you're actually looking. I usually don't get to see a whole lot depending on water clarity and depth. Again, I have one of the older models and I'm not sure how much of an improvement the newer models are. I usually use it to check out the bottom makeup or other structures to give me an idea as to what type of setup would best work in that condition. Overall, I don't use it as much as I thought I would, plus I don't ice fish.

I lost two really nice bass, possibly my PB. Clips were totally straightened and it took two incidents for me to learn. Ever since those two incidents, I've been tying directly onto my lures and hooks. I will never use clips again.

I like the Shak-E2 design, but the lure holder on it seems too thick and I know from past experiences that thin worm type baits will not hold on well. I like a screw on type of lock, but I really want to give the Shak-E2 a try as well.

I've got my eyes on this jig for a long time and I've bought two sets of the Evolution lures. They look like they'll stand up more often than the other jigs on the market. How are these Shak-E2, because I thinking about ordering some as well?

I know the government have their reasons to ban pot, but the way I see it pot isn't as deadly as certain substances, which our society is okay with, such as cigarettes and alcohol. Heck, under certain circumstances, pot is even legal to use. Cigarettes and alcohol are more addictive and kills way more people than pot. Over the counter medication and ordinary cleaning supplies are more lethal than pot. Cigarettes alone poses a greater risk on people making billions of dollars while millions lose their lives. I just don't understand how people can draw the line as to what is ethical and what isn't.
