I've never seen so many fake boobs until I went to Palm Beach County, FL. I've never seen so many people dressed in costumes when it wasn't Halloween until I went to NYC.

If it rains and a puddle is there the next day there is probably a bass in it. Seriously though, I always get, "You caught THAT fish out of this pond?" Not only are there bass everywhere but we get to fish for them year round. I love living down here and bass fishing is a big part of the reason why.

I've come across a couple of teachers in my day who I don't think belong in the classroom. I don't have kids in school but I date teachers from time to time. One thought that Baltimore was in Oregon. Another thought Mexico was part of South America. Theses may not be big deals to some of you here but for me if I had children in their classes I would be worried.

I was in bed, in my Long Island, NY home, enjoying my last hour of sleep when I woke to my sister's voice on my answering machine screaming, "Get up, we're being attacked. Turn on the TV!" I turned on the TV just to sit there in horror and confusion. My thoughts immediately went to those who I knew who were working in Manhattan as well as to who the heck did this and why. I drove to work that morning armed with a 30.06 and Mossberg 88, for I didn't know the extent of the attack as I walked out the door. The entire day I pretty much walked around like a zombie. I don't feel any less of a man by admitting I cried that day. The ensuing days and weeks proved challenging as each day I would open up the local paper and read one familiar name after another. At least a dozen people I knew from all walks of life perished that day; poof gone, just like that.

That would work

I'll still be up North on Sunday, probably recovering from Saturday with some hair of the dog.

I always chuckle when someone writes (vs rights), "the right the bare arms" (vs the right to bear arms.) Of course (vs coarse) you have the right to wear (vs where) a tank top in most cases. "Where are you?" vs "Where you at?" We can argue the use of dangling prepositions all day but what really gets me is the lack of verb in that sentence.

I want in but probably won't be able to play unless this draft is today, tomorrow or Tuesday afternoon. I'm flying up to NYC on Friday for my money league live draft party on Saturday. Then when I get back I have live on-line drafts Monday and Tuesday nights.

Sorry to hear that your Gander isn't doing so well. The Gander by me rocks. The fact that it's 10 minutes away makes me a regular. In fact, after I hit Enter here I'm off to go get a couple of Trophy Scum Frogs. It's the largest gun store in Florida. I haven't purchased a fire arm there yet but it will probably be the place I go for my next one. People working in the fishing department are a great help if you need them to do that, especially when dealing with rods and reels. Sometimes I don't find what I'm looking for in baits but the same can be said for the BPS which is over an hour away and Dicks which is a half hour away. I guess locations, experiences and expectations vary.

I'm not putting him on this list but I think Matt Ryan takes a big step forward this year, at least statistically...for you fantasy guys.

I totally agree with this entire post except for the last part. It's very enjoyable to watch Eli destroy the Cowbabies.

I'm not married but I would think that "I want a divorce" would be the most expensive 4 words.

I might try a Fat Ika or a hollow body frog if those weeds are a problem. Soft plastic frogs and rage-rigged Space Monkeys and Smoking Roosters might also be options.

I thought the worst named Olympian was American volleyballer Destinee Hooker. Then I found out that the gold medalist on the trampoline was a guy from China named Dong Dong.

Love it, nature's bounty! I spent some time at a buddy's place in Islamorada about a month ago. We fished The Humps and beyond. Hooked into schools of Mahi so vast we could have probably walked on them. Also scored a few Cero Mackerels out there. On top of that we filled our cooler with Yellow Tail and Mangrove Snappers. Also had some fun hooking into a few sharks around the bridge. The variety of species available down there is incredible. The best part about it is you never know what will be at the end of that line.

Looking forward to Wrestling, one of the oldest sports in the world.

I would think that getting bit in half or digested alive would be more 'traumatic' than suffocation or a club to the head.

I've fished and golfed since I was a kid. Whenever I'm playing golf and it's a water hole I always wish I packed a rod in my bag.

Giants to repeat. Anyone who claims otherwise is high on bath salts.

Doesn't matter, OKC will beat either team.

Just to answer your question in the proper fashion I'll say 3lbs. However, it's not usually the size of the fish that gets me excited but the size of the fight. I get more kicks from catching one on a long cast than I do with a short pitch. The other day I caught one that weighed 1lb 7oz on a lipless crank, a lure that I can really zing out there, that made my day. Thing was like a mini football with a bad attitude, which is good compared to the typical "all head" fish that seem all too common.

I Rage Rig my Roosters, usually with 5/0 - 1/4oz, though sometimes I'll go 1/8oz. Fish them around weed edges and pads. Mostly go with Black/Blue Flake but have caught fish on almost ever color I've used.

Try going to a site that sells baits like TW, BPS, etc. Sometimes they list the hook size in the description

Once the sun goes down I'll usually tie on one of the below: Jig - Big and Black usually with a big black worm trailer Hollow Body Frog Rage Toad or Cane Toad Smoking Rooster Black Jointed Jitterbug. However, the other night I was doing well on a gold lipless.
