Make peace with your old man now. Not tomorrow, right now no matter what your doing. Right now! That call will come one night and you will have wished you could have said a 1000 things.

I give Kentucky 7 years and we will see another Fab 5 fiasco.

Thanks for the info! I think I might try the Yukon pond Monday late afternoon. Its pretty close and I have my son this week so it may fit the bill. O and BTW ROCK CHALK!!!

All I have ever caught SM on was a bait caster. As the above poster said, it's the bait. You can catch a shark on a stick and bailing twine with the right bait. Not advised but you can lol

I'm a broke single dad/cop so I can't afford to lose much. I fish all plastics Texas rigged weedless and when wacky rigging I use a weedless Mustad hook too.

Depends. I would assume there would be, but how new are the ponds? How hard are they fished? Are they stocked?

You could also buy a reel, use it a bit and then store it.

Nice catch man! I know a camera man who needs a boat trip

Ya, the Bass down here joined the Union, they are still negotiating a contract for more days off and fewer baits!

You got me. I had never heard of the guy honestly. I feel like an idiot cause I am a hard core college bball guy and he never came up all year.

I can atest the bottom is a bass pro crank. I have a few.

Come on down here and work your magic. Only thing I have landed is small white bass.

Anytime the sons number is higher than his dads is a good thing. Its to bad he started his bass career catching a smallie. Cause he wont ever want to catch anything but!

True! I'm having thoughts involving a potato gun Hummmm........

Well said!

I thinks so. Sully has game but he is too injury prone and has not matured into a team player

Ford v's Chevy v's Mopar debate. I have used them and while they are fantastic reels, for the money I can't see spending it

http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-Tourney-Special-Limited-Rod-and-Reel-Baitcast-Combos/product/1205110823344/481602#BVQAWidgetID I picked this up the other day as a dedicated Sekno rod. It will throw a wacky rigged 5" Senko like a pro. I set it up for flipping jigs and I was blown away buy what a 60 dollar combo can do. Very user friendly too.

Yep, and when I see that this time of year, I wake up!

Got a question. Why is it that during a search using the categories alot of different stuff doesn't turn up, but when you enter it manually it does? For instance the Tourney Special LTD baitcaster combo wont show on a search for combos but when you enter it manually, it does.

Yep, before he was promoted to Chief, I got hired in the same agency. We worked together for several years before I moved to another agency. Ya he was my mentor. Never missed a chance to say that he was proud I choose the life. Stupid to do the things we do for the money though lol, Thanks for all the good compliments guys. I just wanted to ask to see if this was normal. Ive been around death for a long time, given notifications etc, but not much death close to me so this was a first.

my mistake, thats kinda what I meant. As few as good LM are in Central OK, anything over 5 pounds is a monster so putting it back would be cool.

I have a killer recipe at home I can post later. Very thick and not too runny once you strain it

That's the way dad was. He was 57. I remember comming back home for a weekend to see him and mom. He was slowing but was still playing men's league bball and working. He had just wrapped up one of his only two murder investigations. 3 days later he was bed ridden. He hated having others to care for him with him always being the provider. When I got older, moved out and got into Law Enforcement he was more of my best friend than a father. What's funny is I will be fishing, hunting or doing something with my son either giving him advice, getting onto him etc and I swear im my dad!

Ya know I knew the day would come eventually, but not when I was only 32. Two weeks ago Dad finally passed away. He battled a brain tumor for almost 2 years slowly slipping away. While it stung at least it wasn't sudden. I guess my question is how long does it take before it doesn't sting as much? One of the biggest things I miss about him is our talks. He was a cop for 29 years and has seen and been threw the worst so he always had a good opinion on things and could life your spirits.
