Back from Fork..and humbled!
<--------- A Little Caney resident. That arm is the BOMB. All in all it doesn't sound like a bad trip. And it sounds like you guys did get that one big bite, but unfortunately have the same story I am sure thousands of people have on that lake

PROJECTED WEATHER FOR THE FORK TRIP
Keep the "forecast" in mind, but come prepared for everything. When I was there a couple years ago for a 4 day trip I experienced everything from the mid 30's to the low 80's ... rain, sleet, and wind.

Boyd Duckett Wins The Classic
I have to hand it to one of the ESPN staffers on their website. They picked Duckett to win and coined him as the best fisherman you have never heard of.

Gerald Swindle's Day 2 catch disqualified
When I first read/heard that he was DQ'ed it seemed a little ridiculous. After seeing the video, that was definitely a BAD decision (very dangerous as well) and the punishment fit the crime

Avid's new Bass boat!
Yeah, but where's the trolling motor

diawa steez rod and reel combos
I believe I saw Ike using them and I believe that was a WHOLE LINE-UP I saw in Aarron Marten's deck this morning on the Classic

It's "classic" time
He was not sight fishing so it doesn't matter. The only time they have to be hooked in the mouth is when you can physically see the fish you are trying to catch.

Byron & Mary
Mary is definitely a nice touch :-* I agree too. In the little I have seen so far it seems to "work"

Spinning reels.....what kind do you use?

Classic Predictions
Boyd Duckett ..... OK, so I cheated. He is in the un-official lead right now by about a pound. I did however pick him for my fantasy team because he was a local with a low point value. I started doing a little research on the Bassmaster website and one of the editors actually picked him before the tourney started .... He called him "The best fisherman you've never heard of".

Kissing your fish
Maybe I am the only one ..... but I have had a few of them tell me I was beautiful. As for the post .... I don't kiss and tell

Lucky Crafts we don't like?
I am actually not a real big fan of the LV's. To me they look waayyyy better than Rat-l-traps, but I have had better luck with the traps by a long shot.

most versatile sunglass lens color?
eeeekkkkk!!! I just sent mine in and having them replaced with Vermilion lenses...(chose them over Amber). : You might want to give Costa a call. Their customer service is top notch and they will answer questions like this. I called a few weeks ago and explained my situation and they recommended 3 lens colors I wanted a lens for: #1 Sight fishing in all conditions - freshwater #2 Low light fishing days - freshwater #3 Driving They recommended - Vermilion, Green Mirror (which has an Amber lens), and Amber. The guy who helped me recommended them to me in that order.

Re: Baitcast reel for 1/4 oz rig for long distance
Why not?? There is equipment out there well suited for this. Like others have said though, you have to spend some $$$$. IMO it's worth it FOR ME

One to go!
It's true!!! At 3000 (he said to keep this a secret, but I have to let the cat out of the bag) he sends you an exact replica of his boat. I am however still waiting on both. ;D

Beautiful day in sunny SE Florida
That first pic ...... I think we have seen that pose somewhere before??? Nahhh ... not enough shadows. ;D ;D ;D Chip off the ol' block

What size hooks on Rat-L-Traps
I have tried that in the past, but it scares me. That rear hook has saved my butt too many times to take it off. It's a confidence thing. I think I have found a set-up I like ..... #2 Owners up front and #4 Gammies on the rear

What size hooks on Rat-L-Traps
Mostly 1/2 oz BTW

What size hooks on Rat-L-Traps
I just got my "annual" shipment of Rat-l-traps in (with more on the way) and am in the process of swapping out the hooks. In years past I have used size 4 all the way around. I am thinking this year I might put a 2 up front and a 4 on the rear. Any thoughts?? I like the idea of a slightly bigger hook up front, but it looks HUGE.
