Lightninrod

From Field and Stream Dan

What a wonderful gift she has given to you FB! If I make one suggestion, I'd change "The pig in the net" to the Hawg in the net . Dan

And, I think Randall will agree to help with that hookset(no matter what rod you're using), slather on some Megastrike gel all over the bait. Dan

I have and use two Sols........ 8-) Dan

These aren't the GY rods you referred to but I bought a couple of those some years ago and did not like them.....way too heavy and way too few line guides. Dan

Matt's Minnows really look realistic in the water. They swim great. Haven't caught anything on one yet but I haven't caught anything but dinks for the last several weeks on anything I've thrown. Dan

Great catchin' youngsters and your Dad is most proud of both of y'all!!! Dan

Way to 'jig' 'em Peasey! Ya did great young man! Dan

I'm assuming you mean "pitching" for "pendulum". If so, this might help. Dan

WTG Paul! Fine Fish and report for sure! Dan

Tried them a few years ago and they are fragile(wing broke off on first cast to open water) and way too light in weight for me. That NR does look like it might be effective though. Dan

There's nothing like Florida!!! Excellent pic young man! Dan

WTG TF! Keep your mind in gear with that new privilege. Dan

Now you need a tripod to go with your timer-activated camera. Very nice Bass. Gorgeous coloring! Dan

Excellent Bass HM! I too live in WR(in the county actually). Was that a private pond or one of our public lakes? Dan

'Purty' except for the picture taker ! Dan

I like mine too. I had it upgraded similar to Avid's but I find the stock handle is just fine. Dan

I've never used the Zillion but my neighbor who is a tournament Basser got the US model(mounted on a new, Kistler LTX) recently and he love's it. Here's a review on them. Never used the Mg either but here's a review of it. Bet you'll love the MB rods too. 8-) Dan

They've worked for me in public waters but I haven't throw one in a while. That one(and others) hit it on the fall when yo-yoing in 9-10' of water. Dan

A DD for you in 2008 Avid! Dan

WTG Dave's Dad! Dan

I take a few pics..... I use this camera. I mount the camera on this tripod and both lie on the boat's deck behind me with the tripod collapsed. When I catch a 3+ lb Bass, I hold the Bass in one hand and reach behind me and raise the two and spread the tripod's legs, turn the camera on, bring the 2-inch vari-angle LCD facing me(so I can see what the camera see's), press the timer button, and then take the pic(s) with the wireless remote that comes with the camera. Usually work's pretty good.... Also works on land too. I just tilt the tripod's mounting base slightly upwards. Dan

bump!

What RW said..6 lber..Matt's Baby Bass. Dan

Nice catching y'all! Surely miss South Florida! :-[ Dan
