telescoping rods
I'm looking at getting a new rod this year and iv got my eye on the tec spec 7'6" telescoping flipping rod. but i picked one up in the store and the eyes were crooked and the eyes were facing hard left and it wouldn't budge. granted it was only one rod that was like that. I'm just worried bout the blank twisting on me like that one in the store.

eggs?
how much weight does a bass gain when she is full of eggs. my nephew and I fish a private lake with some 7 and 8 pounders in it that was 2 years ago so with the spawn and hopefully them growing possibly a state record the current one is 11lbs 4oz. its probably high hopes and dreams but isn't that a reason to fish

Sons of Guns
the show is OK some episodes are crap. like destroying that 1919 last week. in theory it sounds cool but its so unpractical. he basically built a bigger clumsier BAR. along with the roof mounted M16 with a crappy drum magazine. why not use a M249 SAW basically the same thing but reliable

ill run it by the wife tonight after work. woulda been awsome if we named our first Hunter like me and her dad wanted but she shot that down too. she wants to name him Chaston Gary-Douglas George but 4 first names no way its bad enough having the last name George and people always asking is it "Clayton George or George Clayton" my kids will have the same prob. i threw out there Elias but shes iffy on that one

yeah i hear ya there i was upset to move off the lake but were closer to work now. the water clarity isn't to bad a little stained on the overflow side clear on the main river side. I'm not a big trout fisherman but want to try this year i just used in line spinners last time. once the ice melts above the dam I'm out there going for bass getting weird looks from the trout guys.

Anyone use swivels or snaps?
i sue duo locks on everything but jigs and tubes they seem to hang up in the rocks and snag a lot more with the snap then just tying right to the lure

Best wife ever!!

-
Best wife ever!!
my wife will complain some times even though we have a deal that regular paychecks go towards bills and the kids and stuff she wants. but my army drill pay funds my hobbies fishing,hunting(.243 ammo is crazy expensive), R/C trucks,paintball so i just buy her her "cute" lures and then i get to go nuts on everything else. as long as she gets some pink cute lures she lets me blow my weekly fund. she loves to fish just the same stoping to pee or eat especialy right when the fish turn on

How much longer can image it?
im in the same boat me and my 20mo old son sit and watch fishing every morning well waiting for the wife to get ready. i went out trout fishing Saturday in the only place with open water it sucked. i fell several times and the water levels were really high no good. not to mention iv never gone trout fishing. i was looking at my fishing log from last year i caught my first bass of the year march 25th but there's still 20"+ of ice in that spot.
