LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!! I bet there are going to be a lot of supposedly "sick" people on the lake this week.

Did Mike Whitten rig it skirt up? If so, on the fall, does it fall away from you or straight down?? I like LBH, I fished this a few times last year and had OK sucess with it. I think some of the bass at my lakes are getting tired of Senkos ..... the 6 and 7 inchers as well. This was/is a biat I was planning on trying to use a lot more this year.

It looks like it could be a snakehead. Here's a pic of one: What do ya think bigtex??

Alien???????

I still don't think I could put those boats on the lakes I fish ;D

Gobble, does that thing have a livewell??? Benzo, I like your style. I would have to either go with the i-Class a Basscat w/ a Yamaha

I am so sorry to hear that. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Watch out Varner hawgs. That's an awesome rig you got there. I will be starting my Jon boat coversion tomrrow. I finally got some descent weather and some free time. I am hoping to finish it by the middle of March. I'll be sure to post some pics along the way.

Lot's of good people here with your same problem. ;D Admitting it is the first step. I am Dustin and I am a bassaholic as well.

LC is where I caught mine. On the east side about half way up it.

Yeah, that thing looks WAAAAAYYYYY bigger than 15.27. That's the biggest from Fork in a while isn't it??

I am pretty sure Triton_Mike has one. You might want to PM him and point him in this direction.

Nice!!

I don't think anyone has offended anyone. It's just a good ole' fashion debate. Consider it sitting at the bar, throwing back a few beers with your buddies, debating on something that no one can prove 100%. 8-)

I done a little research in the past month or so for a depth finder in your price range. From my findings the Eagle Fishmark 320 is the best bang for your buck out there.

I personally think you only need two colors. A shade of green and black. Then there are variations with sparkles, swirls, etc. All of last year I only used two colors of senkos and it cut down on a lot of the clutter in my tackle bag and made picking a bait a whole lot easier. It was either Watermelon w/ red sparkles or Black and blue laminate.

I don't think he has a problem with Georgia holding the record. He has the problem with the RECORD itself no matter where it was. The record (story) just happened to come from Georgia.

I personally think the record is . But I also think it's kind of cool that a hobbie or sport (whatever you want to call it ;D) that is known for "fish stories", has the biggest fish story of all time as the current world record. It's like those big bass hunters in Cali are chasing a ghost everyday.

Back when I was in grade school, middle school and the first parts of high school all of my buddies along with our dads went down there for a father/son week of fishing during spring break. We usually rented 2 pontoons and always had a great time. Ironically the worse the weather was the better the fishing. :

That's kind of what I was getting at. I stated that mine was huge cold fronts in the spring. What I mean is when the water temp starts to get about spawning temp. Then one of those huge spring time cold fronts come through and drops the air temps down into the 40's and 50's for a day time high. That's when I really struggle. Bass that were on beds get pushed off and are lock jawed because they are still in the spawn tranze and prespwaners shut off, but are catchable (but extemely tough).

I had been looking at Jon's for about 4 months before I finally bought MO_Tick's boat from this site.(14 ft.) It will be hard to find a 16 ft Jon, but it can be done. I think you will have a REAL hard time finding a 17 or 18.

That's my opinion as well.

OK, OK, OK, OK, OK. If we could call it something like ........................ The World Bass Championship ......... or maybe a tour that would visit a bunch of different countries over a year period ........... The World Bass Tour........... something similar to the Ryder Cup in golf or Wold Cup in soccer ...... I'd be for that. But IMO, Bass fishing needs to stay out of the Olympics. It would be an insult to many of the "real" athletes there in my opinion. Think about the athletes there that put hours and hours of blood and sweat in the weight room or on a treadmill practicing to make themselves better for their sport. I am sure their preparation is a lot more physically demanding than the practicing a bass competitor would have to go through. I mean can you really compare a day on the lake to a day in the weight room. They wake up at the crack of dawn every morning and go to the weight room or to train. Bass competitors wake up at the crack of dawn every morning to head to the lake and fish .......... oooooo that's tough ;D . As far as competition ......... ;D ................. Japan for sure and I think (correct me if I'm wrong) bass fishing is popular in South Africa.

I agree with you to a certain degree. When you have water temps that are in the high 30's or low 40's, seems to me that fishing for the most part is extremely slow no matter what the trend. Now get the water temp up close to 50 and I think your theory holds true.
