Huh?? Could you start from the top ;D ;D Good work. This is obvioulsy something you have put a lot of time and effort into. Thank you.

Congrats!!!! That's the way the jig seems to work. You work your butt off trying to get that first one and then after that ........ BAM, BAM, BAM. Kind of like the Fishing Gods rewarding you for the time you have put in. And yes, jig fish tend to be better than average. Keep it up. Also, when I first saw the pic I thought 6 lbs for whatever it's worth.

All 4's get weighed and picutred if she's purty :-*.

I use the Co-poly and love it. Like Doug said, it's very comparable to Yo-Zuri hybrid which I happen to like as well. IMO it's a hair better than Yo-Zuri Hybrid across the board. I've been using it exclusively for almost 2 season now. Not one complaint. It was also easier for me to find locally when I first started using it. I first used it on an experiment basis because they were out of Yo-Zuri and have never looked back.

Nope

I don't know why but I thought that was pretty funny. Not the fact that you tipped the canoe, but I can just see the "golf cart nazi" watching you ..... "Oh there is avid again. Swimming in the pond" :-? I'll have to tell my grandpa about the "golf cart nazis". He will like that. He deals with the same crap

I personally like ones that measures in ounces. I have an X-Tools scale and love it and it's features. I check it 2 or 3 times a season. Dead on everythime so far.

Healthy lookn' bass

Some body turned on the AC here in Kansas City. It's been nice. It won't last, but it's nice while it's here

;D ;D ;D What is that ... 15, 11, and 10.9 : Congrats

Thank GOD there's someone else in the same boat as me with Spinnerbaits. I can't stand them, yet I still have them for some reason. Thank you Matt, you made my day! Man, I was too embarrassed to mention it. Spinnerbaits are at the top of my "lures that don't do jack for me," list. The weird thing is that I catch them on inline spinners, homemade ones to boot. But if my life depended on a bass caught on a spinnerbait, I'd be pushing daisies in not time flat. :-[ Then again, I hardly throw them and haven't take the time to learn to use them effectively. I even caught fish on the flying lure!!! Come on, spinnerbaits, give me a break! ;D I think there's more people that have no luck / don't like spinner baits then we think, they're just too shy to say it. When you hear spinnerbaits you think bass fishing, but I HATE them. I use the Banjo minnow with 100 times more success then a spinnerbait. Add me to the list. I have two full spinnerbait boxes and I can count the number of bass I have caught on a spinnerbait on one hand .. and it doesn't take that many fingers

Been there, done that ;D ;D

This something I think about a lot. One of these days (soon) I am actually going to make an actual list. I just have them in my head. Some of them are real small ,some of them I've already accomplished ..... A few off the top of my head .. See the 7 Wonders of the World See a game at Yankee Stadium (I'm not a fan, but I can appreciate the history. I better hurry up :) Ride a bull Catch a marlin Catch a shark Go to Hawaii (doing that in March or April) Play golf at Pebble Beach Play golf at St. Andrews Ride in a fighter jet Drive from coast to coast Visit every state in the US Attend all the Triple Crown horse races one year Retire (any day now ;D ;D ;D) etc etc etc

Yes!!!!!!

IMO this time of year there is no other way to go. I fish deep water structure and as light as I can get away with. Right now I have my finesse rig spooled with 6 lbs test (my main set up this time of year), most of the others with 10, and then one braid set up for c-rigging/slop fishing. I used to use nothing under 12. I can honestly say that I feel it has made a difference. Not so much in numbers, but size. And for me, that's where it counts

Absolutely!!!! I have the Legend Tourney version and it can handle just about anything you thow at it. I use it mainly for weightless soft plastics and finesse worms on jig heads, but also use it for topwaters and jerkbaits from time to time.

We'll be waitng

I agree with Matt

I've only used two .... the Bitsy Bug (crap) and then tried a Terminator Finesse jig and the search ended there.

Thank you for re-inforcing this. For one reason or another this has really hit me the past 3 years or so. I've realized the sun is a killer. To your skin and your eyes. PROTECT YOUR SKIN AND EYES AT ALL TIMES!!!!!!!!!! I also think you should wear a shirt. That tan just ain't worth it in the long run. Hope the recovery goes well

Icebergs are the key!!!!!!! ;D

I think you should get a little more creative with the pics. You know like ... "Got out there just before a big cold front moved through" ;D Nice cathn'

I may be wrong, but I was under the impression that you can't buy most of stuff there?

My personal feelings ......\ You kill it ... you eat it. Unless it is directly putting you or anyone else (including your pets) in danger of being killed or seriously injured.

Well, tell us all about it! I can't remember the details really. I just remember seeing it on the news and I think about it each time I drive past the lake. I was only 12-14 years old at the time.
