So true. I literally threw my entire tackle box at this one pond where I live for 2 weeks and didnt get crap. Went to a lipless crank, caught 3 in 15 min span.

WOW great fish for N.E. Seriously...

It's to legit...to legit to quit. Seriously tho, It's great. I post on 4Chan and the SomethingAwful forums as well as a few others, so needless to say I adapt pretty quickly. I will have to say this is VERY well polished and have yet to figure out if this is technology is paid for or if its a readily available template

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

I guess you'll NOSE not to do that again! SeewhatIdidther?!

Let me start by saying that I appreciate all the comments and respect everyone for theirs, That being said, It wasn't about "omg 2lb bass how could you do that over a 2lb bass" It was never about that. It was about 1. my frustration building through out the week. 2. These people who think the park is their personal back yard and the rules do not apply to them and 3. The safety of the fish, I practice catch and release and respect all fish, the last thing I wanted to see was the fish die. Which is what happened. ANY WAY So I head back their last night and snap my first of the season. I caught 3 total in a 15 min span. 1 chain pickerel, and 2 small bass. The funny part was, is that my "incident" with this bimbo had apparently traveled through their little dog circle and when I went their I held my head high as they all gave me the ULTIMATE stink eye, could care less. Apparently the fish gods decided I was worthy of some fish. IT started off HORRIBLE. My Berkley 12 lb test line sucks and keeps breaking on me. Which caused a jig of mine to fall off the shore. I could see it down there but instead of getting wet, I try to use my grandfathers old school lipless crank to grab it. After about 10 min of this i said screw this and just tossed the crank into the water. Bam. Pickerel. Shocked, I walked down the shore line, next cast...Bass.... Walk 15 more feet down the shore. Bam Bass again.. So apparently this crank ( as seen in picture) is awesome because I tried my new fancy lipless and didn't catch a thing..but this thing is so metallic it looks just like a shiner. I will hit up the pond today after swapping out those rusted trebles from the 1940's with some new ones and see how I do. I will also try and get a picture of these dog people so you know what I have to deal with.

As it stands now, its supposed to be pretty windy on Sunday. That's why I hope to get there early and maybe beat it out. Although, its mid week and things can change.

aww skéet skéet

It must be nice to have a maid.

I have been on the train for FireFox 4 for a while Beta was a little crazy. So far its great except that in my old one when i double clicked the empty space next to a tab it would open a new tab. Now it shrinks it. Just a few little things Currently working on a BassResource Persona for firefox. will be done the end of this week.

did some digging and uncovered this.... crazy! http://www.northernpikefishing.ca/northern-pike-eats-pike.htm

To be honest, when i got my boat I bought a PFD...but at the same time I have a different view on them. I usually fish small lakes and ponds, that being said lets say that i am crusing along, and i see a rock and i swerve sharply and fall out of my boat. You know what the odds are that i would NEED that PFD? Guess what people...human float. As a matter of fact, when i went on a canoe ride with my friends, my friend decided it would be funny to rock the canoe and we tipped. Know what i did for 10 min until someone could get us? Lay on my back and float there. IT was great. Now you could say, omg you banged your head and disoriented or knocked out and you cant swim/float. I guarantee that the PFD will not save you if you are knocked out or disoriented...you will drown anyway. face down in the water is the same with a PFD or without.

Woahhhhh. Please tell me this is shop'd

It's not you. Its the board. The View tables seem to be a little askew. Admins: Check under the Control Panel Database "cache_store" I believe

I thought a buddy of mine told me the discounts there are ridiculous...like, some things are more than 50% off or something. You lucky SOB

They're*

Ahaahah...creepy Allstate guy totally watching you. Hilarious post

I wish It was a male owner. I was in the mood to scrap. I dont like these people thinking that this park is their own personal backyard and that the rules dont apply to them. Its bull. Cruelty to animals? Ever see a mother dog carry its pup? By its neck. P.S. How many dogs do you see running around with rabies? I like my chances.

Amen. Actually the most fun I had at fenway was when i went to the Winter Classic...ha!

I live in MA. And frankly....hate the red sox. Baseball in general actually, I was a huge fan but then one day it hit me: This sport sucks. It's slow...boring..

I had issues and went through the whole process like you did, but it not find it difficult in the least. Maybe a small inconvenience but not aggravating I am Sofa King We Todd Did

I can see now that it may have been an overreaction...but it was one of those "lose your temper" moments. It was such a combination of stepping in dog crap earlier that week ( and all the time) at the park because they dont pick up after them..and them always running up too me and barking or jumpin in the water or sniffing my legs while i shore fish. It gets annoying, and the fact that i was not catching a d**n thing helped. It was one of those "i snapped" times...i'm sure you all have had them.

PREFACE: So This local pond area is also a park and the people who live near it think that the leash laws and signs stating they need to pick up after their mutts don't apply to them..and needless to say they know me..and I voice my opinions on this matter a number of times. I mean, I don't hate dogs but when I am trying to fish and one jumps in the water and splashes around 3 feet from me..I mean come on..so yea..I hate this dog "click" that frequents there. So, after many dreadful few days of me going down my local fishing spot ( which they literally just pulled a dead body of a guy in my town out of last week..very sad especially since I saw it all happen. long story.) after work for an hour or so, looking to pop my cherry on the year. I literally have been throwing everything I have at this pond, trying different locations, lures, hell I was even doing TOP WATER at one point...trying everything. So after I called last cast to myself on a long bridge that runs across the pond ( I will attach a pic of the bridge so you can get an idea) I snap up my ringer..my crank to all cranks. My Fred C Youngggggg Big-O. Cast that mother out, and did work. After 4 full maybe 5 rotations of the spool BAM. hit. Fish on. So at this point I'm going ballistic because I literally have been trying so hard to break the ice this year, and there is was. I get it up to the bridge and luckily I was using my braided rod with 65lb test because this thing was still fighting and it was probably 2lb...2.5...a modest first of the year. So what's the first thing I do? Lay down my reel and get ready to take a picture with my phone to post on BR of course... I lay the fish down, get my camera out, line up the shot and before I even knew what was happening...some god d**n mutt dog runs behind me and GRABS THE FISH. Then takes off down the bridge. I LITERALLY LOSE MY *****. The dumb woman is at the stop of the monument steps ( as seen in picture) saying " Riley! ...oh Riley.." Like it wasn't a big deal!! So What do I do? Put my phone down and sprint after that dog like I was running the combine. I swear to god fastest I ever ran. Dog. Tackled..hard I pry my bass out of its mouth and its bleeding profusely and its clinging to life. With rage in my eyes I take the dog by the back of the neck skin and walk him back to his stupid owner with the dying fish in my hand. I get to this moron and she sees the fury in my face and still says has the nerve to say "Don't grab my dog like that!" And before she can be all mad at me for whatever reason..I lose my mind. I will save you the expletives...but it was bad.. I made her look at the , now dead at this point, fish in my hand, and she has the nerve to say "Well it's just a fish...he's a dog you can't get mad" Then I go off about the leash laws. Tell her to stay right there. And I call the police. Which is a good thing because you can literally see their station from the bridge. Within 2 min the cops are there. Luckily, the cop was an avid fisherman and runs the kids fishing derby every year, I tell him what happened and he gives her a ticket for not having the dog on a leash and then slaps her with some wildlife endangerment ticket that was like $400 bucks or something because then went bananas on the cop and he threatened to arrest her for disturbing the peace if she didn't shut the hell up....which she did. The cop apologized, tipped his hat and told me to throw the fish in the water for Bob ( the GIANT turtle who is like 100 years old) So I did. So was I wrong with how I handled this? I don't think so, that dumb woman should obey the laws. It felt good tackling her mutt, I'd do it again if I could. If you can't train your dogs, keep them on leashes So anyway, That's the story. Not a good start eh?
