My son and I were watching Jimmy Houston Outdoors and one of Jimmy's guest was singing this. Fast forward to about a year later and we're fishing in Disney last weekend and my son starts singing this...LOL Chicken wing, chicken wing Hot dog and bologna Chicken and macaroni Chillin' out with my holmies Eating some canolies

Yeah, and I'm not well...LOL...most peeps have rubber duckys, where the H3LL did you get that!

^^^^^^LMAO!^^^^^^ There is something not right with you!...LOL EDIT: I forgot to ask, I just went thru TSA on Sunday, how did you get my pic?

I should have known you had a picture...you got a pic for everything...LOL Man, I hope we don't have a thread about Proctology...LMAO Thanks JF.

Was it in the 90's JF when they came out with the split grips? I couldn't remember, they took so darn long to gain popularity. Back then I thought they would never make it in the bass fishing world.

I did the same thing ww2farmer, tried others but went right back to the lure I caught my first bass on.

I'm with flyfisher, I think it's totally a preference thing. I have a rod I liked but hated the grip on it. I found myself not using that rod more and more because it was so uncomfortable, so one winter I split the grip on it. What a difference it made!

For the most part, neither, but if i want more lift/bigger profile and I know I will come thru sparse cover, I will add a 3" grub on a trailer hook. As stated above, if a fish hits the bait and doesn't button up, kill the retrieve, the fish will circle the wagons to hit it again. If you find that the fish are consistently short striking, then speed up the retrieve on subsequent casts. The fish have already told you that you have the right lure on, now it's up to you to do something about it. By speeding up, the fish won't have time to abort the mission at the last second. More often than not, this technique works.

All my best to you clayton. You'll get thru your health issues in no time, I wish you the speediest recovery. As far as your personal life, it will be tough at first, especially since you have kids, but I think you have a great outlook on it and again, I hope for nothing but the best for you.

Man, does that look sweet!!! Great job guys!

Forget the nails (Marlboro's) and add another 12 pack...LOL

Hopefully next winter's build.

I used to love it, MCS, when I was younger because you could go skiing in the winter and of course do all the warm weather activities, but you start to hate it when your joints get older and you have to work for a living...LOL

My tease was leaving my house in 5* weather last Thursay morning and hitting central FLA in 75* weather that afternoon. It got up to about 80* by Saturday and Sunday I was back in the high teens when my flight landed.

A flight to a warm, softwater destination...LOL Too funny!

Glad your here bassbill!

This is the year I reaquaint myself to jerkbaits. I really haven't used them in a long time and I remember doing well with them in the past. I just don't know why I abandoned them.

I can just so happen to reccomend one for ya...would you like me to share?...LOL

We're actually fortunate that all BR sponsers provide that kind of 411!

My guess is that you probably went to the wrong eatery, the italian restaraunts serve it, but they call it polenta and charge 10X more...LOL...who said they were dumb!

You really did a nice job with that! What size blade and jig is that?

Derrick, are you feeling alright? Great job Bud!

Man, I wished I never looked at this thread...I'M TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT!...ROFL

You're welcome Bobby, I wasn't trying to "plug" the Megastrike StrikeBack, I just wanted to let the folks here at BR know that I did try them and really liked them. Now about those lead free evolution jigs...Check your PM's, I have a question on those.

LOL...I came back yesterday and my family will come back in a couple of days...And I loved the Florida winter...
