I watched Dean Rojas using one last week on Toledo Bend grass beds and it seemed to work well for him. JT Bagwell

I fish for prize money and get sponsor checks, but I do have a "real" job that pays my bills. In the real world I work for The Valspar Corporation. JT Bagwell

That was pretty cool. JT Bagwell

JT, I love my Fords....if you cut me I bleed blue. Never have, or ever will own anything else....HOWEVER, we had an '06 F350 exactly like the one you have pictured. We used it to tow the race car all over the country, it got the worst mileage. 6mpg while towing....that little deisel was a total pig. 6 mpg??? OUCH!!!!! My wallet is hurting and I haven't even bought the truck yet. lol I guess I will keep my Silverado a little longer (to save up money for diesel fuel). JT Bagwell

Merry Christmas Fisher. JT Bagwell

I never saw the kid, the post, the picture, the fish and etc. I just asked if it was legal. JT Bagwell

Glenn, The girl that had that happened to her told our pastor. He in turn told all of us at church about it yesterday. I reckon it is possible that she lied to him, but I doubt it. JT Bagwell

That is the ride that I am really wanting. Right now I have a new Crew Cab Silverado Z71, but those Ford F350 1 ton duallys are sweet. JT Bagwell

I heard a story yesterday about a girl at one of local grocery stores telling a man Merry Christmas as she was leaving the store. He replied "you are not supposed to say that, it's not politically correct." I guess it really bothered the teenage girl because she was just being nice to the guy. It doesn't really seem like all that long ago where it was a good thing to tell someone Merry Christmas, now it is almost a crime. The whole mindset of most of our country gets on my nerves anymore. It seems like everything we say offends somebody else. With that being said, I don't care who I offend. There is no "Winter Holiday" it is called Christmas and if you don't like it, that is fine, don't celebrate it. But leave my family and friends alone if we want to celebrate and be happy. So to EVERYONE........... MERRY CHRISTMAS JT Bagwell

Merry Christmas to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!! JT Bagwell

But was it Legal? JT Bagwell

It would be considered "Libel" not "Slander" because it was done in a way that can reach a very large audience (the internet). Slander is when an untruth is "spoken". My Business Law courses in college were ones I actually paid attention in. JT Bagwell

I have been using MegaStrike since back when it first came out. Heck I might have got some back in the testing stage. The stuff is awesome and lasts a very long time on your bait. Just think of how many more fish you could land if they just held on a few more seconds! JT Bagwell

Hey you old bum, what have you been up too? Nothing productive knowing you. I am sad man, it is the 13th of December and I haven't even got my fancy MegaStrike Christmas Card yet. I will call or email you later. See ya bro. JT Bagwell

I agree 100% with that statement. Anyway, here are my top 5 in no particular order. 5" Senko (Gary Yamamoto Custom Baits) Shad Shape Worm (Gary Yamamoto Custom Baits) Kut Tail Worm (Gary Yamamoto Custom Baits) Kreature (Gary Yamamoto Custom Baits) Flappin' Hog (Gary Yamamoto Custom Baits) They are picture below (in the order I listed them).

I live in Northern Illinois and it hasn't hit my area yet. Looking at the radar screen you would think we were getting blasted, but I just had my Rottweiler outside and it is just 28 degrees and kind of foggy. It is supposed to hit us sometime after midnight. My wife is a teacher and they have cancelled school for several districts in anticipation of this storm. JT Bagwell

Yeah I saw that about the sister. I couldn't even imagine the heartache losing a child would cause. JT Bagwell

I work for Valspar Corp. and we have a product that I used on some concrete at home (assuming it is concrete around your pool). It is call Quickrete Textured Concrete Coating. You can have it tinted (for free) to match the color of your house, garage or whatever else you want. I think it runs about $15-$20 per gallon. It is textured to provide grip too. JT Bagwell

Here is the obituary for one of the Omaha Mall shooting victims. She is a local girl that started with Von Maur when she was in High School. (Von Maur is based here in the Quad Cities). She had an impressive work history with the store for being so young. What a sad deal for everyone. http://qconline.com/archives/qco/display.php?id=365893&query=#g JT Bagwell

The station was closed so there were no employees present. The people were paying at the pump. JT Bagwell

Those cars are cool, but I would take this in a heartbeat. JT Bagwell

That is a cool watch Robert. I like nice watches too, I just can't force myself to buy most of them. I bought my wife and I, His and Hers Movado watches a couple of years ago. They cost a chunk of money but I sure like mine. My wife doesn't like hers because she has a hard time telling what time it is since it has no numbers or lines or anything. JT Bagwell

This store (Von Maur) is based in the area where I live. My wife actually worked there until about 3 years ago. It is pretty sad, the youngest girl killed was actually from here and she transferred to Omaha to be a manager. I just can't imagine the pain her parents must be feeling. It makes me sick when I think about how many crazy people there are these days. Here is a link to today's newspaper, pretty sad that such a young, productive live was taken. www.qconline.com JT Bagwell

I don't think the scenario that you mentioned is a bad or negative one. I have been known to wear a BPS shirt (or 5) when I am out cutting wood or shopping at a guy store. I think the whole "advertising for free" thing comes into play when you are fishing competitively and pay large sums of money for tourney shirts, truck/boat decals and high dollar jackets that all have a specific logo on them.

Hey FrogTog, what's up? You are right about winter. I think it is in the low 20's and really windy here. It is so cold that my Rottweiler didn't even want to go outside to pee. I had to force him off the deck and then he did his business at about 100mph and ran back in the house. JT Bagwell
