Craziest Thing You Ever Done Because Of Fishing
Not sure but i have driven 8 hours total round trip for one day of fishing....i am sure there are others too but i will have to think about it some more

Morels!
I am by no means an expert but from what i understand, they need pretty specific areas to grow and aren't available for a very long season.

Morels!
those will be worth some cash...i know a guy who was way into it and he trained one of his german shepherds to sniff them out.

Nfl Draft
I think today's draft is going to be more interesting than yesterday. And as much of an NFL junkie that I am, I will be watching, well probably working on my laptop while it is on TV like i did yesterday

Good Scale To Weigh Fish
i have been in the same situation and once funds allow it, I will be getting a boga grip. Allows me to control the fish and get a weight at the same time and being I fish from a kayak, space is always at a premium.

Nfl Draft
It's always 10 minutes in the first round and with the potential for trades and the like, it makes sense. I think they drop to 5 minutes in the second and third rounds and i want to say 2 or 3 after

Nfl Draft
yeah we need a WR bad....matthews is great and will be a number 1 some day but with nobody else around him, he could be less effective.

Nfl Draft
what is with these suits? one dude looked like he was wearing a reject from a McDonalds uniform and the last dude looked like an usher at a movie theater

Nfl Draft
Dallas has to draft a RB really, they are a solid team and it doesn't look like AP is going anywhere. If they don't get a solid RB they are going to do a serious nose dive next season and even if they do, it is hard to replace a guy who had around 45% of the team's touches on offensive plays and 37% of a team's total offensive yards.

Nfl Draft
Reports are saying that they pretty much tried but TN wasn't having it...i am ok with not getting Mariota even though i think he would have been a perfect fit, obviously. Now i am just waiting to see who the Eagles draft then i will try and get some sleep lol

Nfl Draft
Nothing too exciting so far...i think the best pick so far is the skins picking up that big old corn fed, farmer strong lineman.....

Lol!
I caught a 13" crappie that busted through a grass mat that i was pulling a weightless texas rigged yum dinger over to get to the next hole to drop it in....i have never caught one that way before and haven't since.

I May Have Found My New Career Path
Yeah it happens...he got the bends really bad or something. I want to say he did the type of stuff where you stay down for a day or two at a time in some diving bell type deal and then it takes another day or two to come back up... He is doing well now...he built a marina and a jet ski rental business and sold that off and now has a house on the beach in cancun and a castle in panama...dude is crazy though lol

I May Have Found My New Career Path
Well if it something you want to do then go for it but i can tell you that it is a tough job with a very high propensity for injury. My uncle did it and said he would never do it again. On a side note, he was seriously injured and got a settlement and bought some oceanfront property in mexico...it was all jungle pretty much and now i think the name of the place is Cancun Needless to say he is pretty well off right now but at the expense of his health....

Not Much Talk About Duckett
I picked up two of the micro magic 6'9" MHF casting rods from a buddy of mine for pretty cheap and i am impressed. I usually fish St. Croix rods so the power difference is a little different as they feel more like something between a M & MH but so far so good. They are pretty light rods and i have been using them for chatter baits, spinnerbaits and smaller soft bodied swim baits with no complaints. I wouldn't hesitate to get another one if the need arises....

Ideas On How To Reduce The Amount Of Tackle I Carry
If you can fit it then why bother. I have my crate full of plano boxes. Now there are some i don't take certain times of year but for the most part, if they fit i usually take them along. I mean it isn't like one extra box or two is going to impact my paddling efficiency. I figure even when my kayak has all the tackle i can carry, it is still probably a quarter of what most people in boats take with them

Top Three Things You Should Avoid That Turn Off Bass Strikes?
Never even thought about it before as i do not believe there is something that you could do that would automatically turn off the bite the than the obvious. As far as fish blood goes, that is a new one for me, i figured that would get them more riled up and ready to eat....i mean do you honestly think they could tell the type of blood in the water?

Kvd Using A Crank Bait Gopro Footage
I think it is kind of funny that everyone is making a huge deal out of a video of a guy who is reeling in a crank bait at a quicker pace. I mean if it was some joe shmoe made the same exact video it would be nothing but to watch a pro reel a bait in just doesn't give me goosebumps, sorry.....

First Day Of Student Teaching On Monday...
Figured I would give another update....well my last day of student teaching was last friday and my first day of substitute teaching in this same school was today This will most likely be the beginning of my 6 week long term sub position so there is nothing like stopping student teaching and going straight to the sub position. I only have a few more weeks to finish up in my last class and then it will be time to apply for virginia certifications and to the various school systems around here with the hope of landing something for next fall....i am still semi in shock that I am almost done and at how quickly the 18 months or so went by to get this Masters degree..... The only bad thing was that today i was planning on going fishing but getting a text at 4:00 am changed that plan pretty quickly
