That boat is a Rick Clunn Edition Nitro. I've heard that those have had delamination issues. I've also heard from quite a few people that with a 70 they can be a real dog. Slow to plane and have a pretty rough ride, even compared to other 16ft boats. Overall not a very good hull design. BUT for the right price I'd buy it. That 70hp Evinrude/Johnson 3 cylinder is a bulletproof motor as long as its getting enough oil. Just looking at the pictures I'd say expect to spend 1-1.5k more after you buy it.

I bought some of the jerkbaits once. COMPLETE garbage. not one would run true. terrible quality paint and components. save yourself the few dollars, time and frusteration.

I use 1oz flipping or grass style Backwater Custom Jigs. Perfect for hauling those slobs out of there.

Ive had musky and pike eat bass before while I was trying to land them, never other bass though.

i think the clarity of the water makes a bigger difference than the depth

A few years ago I saw a jetski literally explode and start on fire while on the lake. The dude got like 2nd degree burns all over his chest.

4 gauge, while fine, is definitely not necessary. 6 gauge is MUCH cheaper and what is recommended by Minn Kota. I even used 8ga for a short run (batt -> motor) all of last year and had no issue on a 24v system.

that will work fine. tie a good uni-uni knot and get fishin!

hooked a pelican with a spook. A bullfrog on a Rage Craw. A musky on a 15" largemouth. A bald eagle with a perch (real bad time). And one time a very close passing jetski....

If I told ya I'd have to kill you. They're sleepers for a reason

nope

I'll take that emergency MGX off your hands for you. I have plenty of reels that I could trade you that will work just as well sitting in the rod locker.

I've got a few of the SX's and love them all. I beat the hell out of them too without any issues.

Not quite yet, but by july 7th there will be. And LaCrosse is the best milfoil slop fishin you can find. Just get your punchin rig and a frog ready and go to work.

get ready to fish some milfoil slop!

Edit: Thanks to Gov. Walker culling is perfectly legal in WI bass tournaments these days. Prior to him signing the bill however it was not legal, although it was done quite often... haha yessir

I've seen many like that...

I own one of each in the lineup. Got them for $17 a pop through a sponsorship, otherwise I probably wouldnt have tried them. turns out theyre great treble hook rods. The jerkbait rod and deep cranking rods are my 2 favorite.

skinny dippers Reaction Innovations. Or keitech swing Impact

I've often wondered this too.. I always assumed it was legal to get off the boat to take a dump midday if needed. Are they that strict that they wont allow that?

agreed. but please make sure to offer your friends some cash to pay for gas and maitenance etc. nobody likes a mooch.

Don't know if this is a repost or not but check this out. They just put the video up yesterady. Little rough on the equipment.. http://www.bassmaster.com/video/scary-moment-rough-water

Ive run some pretty hairy stuff... Took a 18ft skeeter off a spillway one time on pad (getting down was the easy part). Ive run rock bars where I've killed the outboard and trimmed it out just to cruise 30 yds, fire it back up and can it to keep it on plane. Once as a co-angler I rode with a guy who really puckered me up running cane beds and lilly pad flats on the mississippi. Its all in good fun till you break stuff. But like you said, cashing a check can really make a difference on what your willing to do. I've been lucky enough to do that on a few of those excursions, and haven't totaled anything yet. But I'm sure my time is coming...lol
