Soon after meeting my wife.........After the calf fry........thrown out of the local Denny's in Stillwater.......way too intoxicated and felt the waitress was seating people that came in after us before she had seated us......so I bowed up and got very ugly.......but we got away before the law got there. And yes Lee........she still married me

Yeah.......I forgot to mention the PFDs.........leave those in an uncontrolled environment and you end up with mold.........and or the cost of replacing the charge tubes after they deploy! That equates to $$$$$$.

This is a great opportunity to meet some of the folks here on the forum. Last year was my first trip and I do not plan on ever missing one........to say its a blast is a vast understatement! Nobody is left standing on the bank that wants to go out in a boat......a great group of fisherpeople. Hope to see you there!

Great post Bluebasser. I've shared this with several friends. Those images just reinforce why I always take a sidearm when fishing! Thanks

WRB is right on. If my boat is being stored in the garage I might leave the rods and tackle in the boat overnight if its late, or some special issue. But I store my rods, tackle and electronics (always) in the house except on the occasional situation above. We have a routine......get home and unload the gear and tackle into the house. I think the climate control is good.........I feel the temperature extremes in the garage is hard on both my gear and tackle. I also have dedicated cases for my electronics. They only come out of the cases when we get to the lake and right back into the cases when we are done. When traveling.....like on the Annual Bass Resource Road Trip......I keep all the rods, tackle and electronics in the cab of my truck. When traveling more than a day from home with my boat....... I will unload the gear and tackle from the truck into my motel room for the night. I don't even leave the trolling motor out when traveling long distance. Plus it's more secure. Just my .02 cents.

Spelling and grammar bother me a great deal. I look past it when an individual is trying to convey something and I don't judge. But a magazine, newspaper (professionals) I have no tolerance for mistakes like that. An occasional mistake I can understand I guess........but too many and I will give up on them! Yes..........Glenn and Mike do a GREAT job! Thanks guys

Yep. You won't regret it. Last year was my first Road Trip. I was so excited....signed up early and was rearing to go all winter. And as it turned out, rightfully so! To say I had a great time is such an understatement. EVERYONE was great and fun to be around. I signed up early for the 2014 Road Trip...........and again anxious all winter so far. It is just a great time..........wake up, grab a bite to eat, hit the water and fish all day. Come in.....shower and have a group supper. everynight ended up in one of the cabins just relaxing, talking and making friends. The stories you hear are so entertaining and engaging. I do not intend to EVER miss a Road Trip.......if it is in my control at all! Send in that registration form and make the commitment.............I can just about guarantee you won't regret it!

Gettin' closer!

I came down with the flu 2 weeks ago today. I too was off work a full week. Saturday to Wednesday I could not do anything but sleep. Thursday to the following Monday I got progressively better but not 100%. I felt like I needed those naps too.......just very low energy. By Wednesday I felt about 95%......I thought. Then Wednesday night caught the stomach virus my son had Monday......that kept me off work Thursday and Friday. The flu really weakened me I feel like I am vulnerable to anything now. I got the flu shot 1st week of October and have done so every year since 1984. My Symptoms were: very achy, fever, just did not care about anything. Official symptoms are cold like symptoms, fever, aches, runny nose, congestion...........I think those are them. If you have symptoms that cause you distress....go to ER. Otherwise go to your dr or minor emergency clinic if you want to.

Do as I say......not as I do! In my defense......that was before I purchased my inflatable PFD..........I guess I should change my avatar, eh?

Very glad you made it back in the boat. PFDs are like seat belts and concealed carry firearms (by permit). If you knew you were going to need it then you would make that trip at that moment! Again.....glad you made it ok. Please in the future alway wear your PFD while on the water.

Hate to hear that Bert. Congrats on grand baby.

I did notice that seemed liked someone was laughing in almost every clip.......except the one with the guy and the shark. I think fishing is for everyone!

Pulling batteries would be my only option in your situation........but I would pull them out anyways if I was storing it somewhere to prevent theft.

Welcome. I have done no winter fishing.....sorry. I would have gone this weekend except I have the flu. Didn't have to go anywhere to catch something.

Very glad to hear it Mike!

I think I'm gonna pitch this idea to Jerry Jones........I'm sure he would be interested in something he could use to generate off season revenue in his little stadium! :laugh5:

I am a disabled veteran (mildly) that served 10.5 yrs in the USAF with a tour in Desert Storm. People tend to not pay attention while driving, so I agree that they were not intentionally trying to disrespect our flag. Personally speaking........I would rather nobody got hurt as a result of attempting to recover a flag. I hold the flag in the highest of reverence, with a great respect of what it stands for. But I also hold life in even a higher regard.......please never get hurt trying to pick up a flag. If someone had hit the brakes and swerved to miss the flag very likely could have resulted in a chain reaction of events resulting in injury or death to someone.......just not worth it. I only hit my brakes and swerve to preserve human life. That's just me. Can't trust other fools on the road. I appreciate your patriotism and your act of homage you were paying your family and vets.........but I appreciate you being alive more, Thanks

Turned out much better for Ok than I imagined.

Why do the hands of time tick so slowly when it is cold?

I got mine......do you have yours? BassResource window decal that is!

Yep. Besides, it's cold down there. Wouldn't you go willing into a heated ice hut?

C'mon everyone..........send in those registration forms! Had a great time last year.......looking forward to this years trip!

I'm in!

HA! The Great State of Oklahoma would not use any of her offerings at all. Says no offensive or dirty words.......you sir, have been too kind.
