  1. Was in my youtube stream yesterday, cool video
  2. caught 2 more on it, still looks brand new.
  3. I like it, its really durable. Ive used it in short periods the past 2 days, caught 3 fish. Not a mark on it, its been stuck in weeds and pads at times. The 1st fish was about 2.25lbs.
  4. I go there next week for the 1st time. I guarantee victory!!! Im bringing baits that are banned in Serbian Countries!!!!! Warfare!!!!! Im coming back with a 30lb sack o fish.
  5. Nice fish! The pose makes me think of Fred G Sanford,,,the G is for Glory
  6. Got a 7ft11 veritas a lil bit ago, hasnt gotten any use. Decided to practice for my trip to lake o and got lucky. Caught 4 fish on a 3/4 oz black n blue jig, this was the best of the 4 landed. It went 5lbs 8oz. I fished in this industrial warehouse complex thats full of weeds, sawgrass and such. I caught 1 fish on a spro bronze eye, 1 on a walmart white spinnerbait, 2 on a Berkley sick fish but Im too lazy to upload the rest at the moment. My shoe is a 12 for comparison
  7. They had so much new stuff there this week, this thread helped alot
  8. Bought a pack yesterday from Gander for 3 something. Chart Shad color. Its on a vmc 5/0 swimbait hook. I tried 2 hooks and noticed there isnt much gap between the hook and the sick fish's stomach. I was worried about the hook not exposing itself enough. I looked on the video and Skeet's hook was the same. Cast it a few times to see how it looked. Not much body wobble but the tail is action packed! Used it today and this is my 1st fish on it. The bait looks unscathed. I can see these lasting a bit especially with some mendit around
  9. you are welcomed to change the thread title or delete the thread entirely, choice is yours
  10. Sorry , I should have written here is a video on the line. Ill make sure to be more specific next time.
  11. The bullseyes fight pretty good, the numbers are down it seems and I have to do alot of casting to catch one.
  12. Id like to catch a northern. they look awesome. I hear they give up close to the boat for some reason. As you see the snakehead isnt killing off fish here.
  13. Are you telling that to me or the Company?
  14. Bass The EDGE Bass Series, like all our rods, are all about performance. Each rod features the Black Widow handle, made from 100 percent carbon fiber and designed to deliver increased sensitivity over cork, EVA or carbon fiber foam wrapped alternatives. Casting rods feature a spiral wrap, a technique borrowed from the custom rod builders of years ago that results in a rod that keeps your bait in the zone longer, casts further (or at least as far as conventional), and increases sensitivity by reducing weight on the blank. All this technology adds up to one thing, more fish caught, and bigger smiles at the weigh in.
  15. lmao, awesome. No one likes losing a 10 dollar lure. Booyah makes them now cheeeper btw. Reminds me of the time my boy popped his hook off in a bass and we caught it again later that day and was able to remove the hook. I may have to try that spot, I usually look at those offramps with lust but then realize I dont want to get killed by some idiot...yours hopefully has better parking
  16. http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/03/14/3286192/broward-canal-yields-dubious-record.html The moment Kelly Gestring scooped up the strange, slithery fish from a Margate canal he knew he had a record in his net. Gestring, a state biologist who monitors invasive freshwater fish, wasn’t exactly thrilled about it. The 14-pound, three-ounce bullseye snakehead was a member of an exotic family of aggressive, fast-growing, razor-toothed air-gulpers that have earned considerable hype as “Frankenfish” and “Fishzilla” over the years. Impossibly large fictional mutations have even starred in a few schlocky sci-fi movies. The snakehead has never proven much of a monster in Northwest Broward, however, where it was first discovered in a lake in 2000 and remains corraled by the canal system’s flood-control gates and water structures. But the whopper of a catch in the C-14 canal, posted last month on the Facebook page of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, does show the Asian invader population is quite healthy in South Florida. If caught with a hook and line, the snakehead would have bested the all-tackle world record by 1.5 pounds, but Gestring and colleague Murray Stanford netted this one during an “electro-fishing’’ outing. The technique, which uses a low-level electrical charge to temporarily stun fish for population assessments, doesn’t count toward official sport-fishing records maintained by the International Game Fish Association. “We knew right away,’’ said Gestring, biological administrator of the FWC’s non-native fish research lab in Boca Raton. “It was definitely the largest one we have ever collected.’’ The snakehead has caused considerable concern outside Florida, where the discovery of a close cousin to the bullseye, the Northern snakehead, spawning in a Maryland pond in 2002, triggered a media feeding frenzy akin to the one surrounding the Burmese python in the Everglades. Scientists fear snakeheads, predators that will eat just about anything and are generally larger than most native freshwater fish, could take a big bite out local populations if they spread unchecked. The fish’s freakier attributes added to the curiosity. Much like the infamous walking catfish touted as a scourge of the Everglades in the 1960s, snakeheads can survive out of water for several days. And like the catfish, a few species purportedly can wiggle across short distances on land on their fins. Like other exotics, the four species documented in the United States didn’t swim here. Federal and state wildlife managers believe they were likely released by aquarium owners or breeders for Asian seafood markets, where live specimens were illegally sold in the past. After the Maryland discovery, the U.S. government moved quickly to ban live imports of all 29 species — a step that many other states, including Florida, had already taken. Despite that import crackdown, as well as eradication efforts that have included poisoning small ponds and posting wanted signs urging anglers to kill them, the Northern snakehead is considered established in the Potomac River. Federal agencies report that one or more have been caught in Maryland, Virginia, Hawaii, California, Maine, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Gestring said the FWC also considers the bullseye snakehead permanently established in Northwest Broward. Scientists expect they will eventually escape into the Everglades but believe the warm-water species probably wouldn’t survive north of Orlando. In the Northwest Broward canal system, they don’t appear to have wreaked ecological havoc, Gestring said. After a decade, there is no sign they’re doing any more damage than 22 other foreign fish that also have settled in Florida’s freshwater canals and lakes. “What we’re seeing is that the native fish population seems to be holding strong,’’ he said. “We’ve not been able to detect any measurable impacts by bullseye snakeheads on any of our individual native species.’’ Shortly before stunning the big snakehead, for instance, biologists also netted a six- to seven-pound largemouth bass, a lunker prized by anglers, and released it unharmed, Gestring said. Because of their size and strength, snakeheads also have become targets of fishermen as well, but the biologists didn’t put the record fish and others back into the canal. They were catching them last month as part of an FWC effort to promote consumption of exotics as a way to control them. That’s a challenge with the snakehead, an unappetizing-looking oddity that resembles the native mudfish or bowfin — but with a rack of sharper choppers. During the Python Challenge awards at ZooMiami last month, chunks of snakehead samples were served pan-seared with a honey citrus glaze.

  17. probably only rh versions available
  18. Id like a 300 version for inshore
  19. I went there tonight and it was my 1st time seeing these rods. They looked like cumaras which were also there close by. I saw a 7ft6 heavy for 34 bucks then noticed it was 2 piece..then saw all rods were 2 piece. Might be a good trunk rod as you said. Let us know how it works out.
  20. You may need a round reel if you want this feature. Which reel did you buy out of curiosity?
  21. I have an old LR, no probs and had shocks without probs also. I brought in a few turtles with the shocks. My buddy uses his for frogging, bass/snakeheads and not a problem either.
  22. I spoke bad about it when losing a big fish but I think the knot slipped now because Ive had good luck with the same spool of 12lb line. It casts great and seems to enhance sensitivity quite a bit when a fish hits my bait.
