Sweet! Another boat'n Bass Fisherman and just in time for SPRING! Enjoy her! The short trailers are a little tougher to back. I suggest taking your time and learn to use your mirrors and not look over your shoulder. Seriously will make you a lot better at it. Just my .02 Happy Releasing, H.G.

UCLA could play with blindfolds and get to the finals with that bracket! Going to be interesting for sure. I will participate! I LOVE MARCH! Wait...I didn't see a missouri team in there did I?

NICE FISH MAN! INCREDIBLE! ! ! Hip Hip Hooray!

Thanks fellow Bass fisherman! I am still on cloud nine!- had to come back and look at those pictures again!LOL Looking forward to the rest of SPRING! YES- SPRING IS HERE!! Happy Releasing, H.G.

Nice Fish L-rod! Good to see you back!

You guys are killing me! He gives the N.E. a bad name, not a good portrait, IMO. My answer is: don't care.

Dick's sporting goods ran an ad in our paper today. Quantum 'Escalade' reel with 7.0:1 G.R. 1/2 price. Regular $120.00 I bought 2 for $59.98 each. I haven't used them nor heard of that model - could be some sort of Dick's special deal? Looked very similar to a Code. Anyway, just a heads up, kind of like buy one get one free! Happy Releasing, H.G.

Yea I remember a lot of the issues surronding the catch including he was chasing the record. He must have known it wouldn't count. I had heard that he still might get it? I love that guys face in the picture! Classic Happy Releasing, H.G.

What is a Bass Fisherman? Between a boys first rod and a tottering old man we find a delightfully unpredictable creature called the Bass Fisherman. Bass fisherman come in assorted sizes, but all of the have the same creed: To enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every fishing trip- - and to violently protest when the sun sinks beneath the horizon and one must leave to try again another day. Bass fisherman are found nearly everywhere - - on little farm ponds, braggin in offices, tournaments, resivoirs, sporting goods stores, conservation meetings, Sunday schools, back rooms and at board meetings. Mothers love them, youg girls hate them, older brothers and sisters tolerate them, the boss envies them, and Heaven protects them. A Bass fisherman is truth with dirt on its face, beauty with knarled up thumbs, Wisdom with nature as its God, and hope of the future with good-will toward man. When you are busy, a Bass fisherman is thinking about drop offs, matts of grass and steam rising from the water. When you want him to make a good impression on a client, he may talk only of the back to back wall hangers he once caught, the time he caught two fish on the same lure on the same cast, the spring spawn or how smooth his newest reel performs. A Bass fisherman is a composite - - he is content with 'rat' cheese and crackers for lunch while tied up to a rotten stump but his ulcer has to be pampered with a special diet when he's home; he will drink from an old paint worn soda can without question; he has the energy of a hurricane when he first stands up on the bow although in the office it tires him to walk to the pay window; he has eyes of an eagle when he is spotting bedding fish although his secretary complains he can never find his glasses; he has the imagination of scientist as looks for the lake pattern; he shows the audicity of a steel trap as he stands and pitches to docks under the blistering sun oblivious to the pain in his back; he has the enthusiasm of a firecracker as makes a cast to every bush, cranks every grass bed, and when he gets that bite he has forgotten to re-tie his knots :-/. He likes dirty old pants, vintage reels, old clippers, no socks, long weekends, any kind of artificial bait, back roads, wool shirts, forgotten ponds, and questionable companions who are also- well.... Bass fisherman. He is not much for social gatherings between ice-off and the first snow, fish higher in the food chain than Bass, neckties, educational books, weekend company, barbers, people who deny access. Without a thought of race, creed or color, he likes people who fish for Bass 9 months a year and talk about it twelve! Nobody else is so early to rise, or so late to supper - - when the bass are biting. Nobody else gets much fun of soggy shoes, smelly clothes, and getting mud between his toes. Nobody else suffers so silently with an aching vertebrae, sunburned tops of feet, stained muscles. Nobody else can cram into one pocket a rusty old knife, 12 tungston weights, an extra tin of snuff, a compass that doesn't work, pack of extra hooks, bass juice, change for lunch, fishing license, waterproof matches, last years fishing license, spool of tippet material, swivels on a rusty safety pin, handerchief, spare rod tip, a snake bite kit and lets not forget the bottle opener . A Bass fisherman is a magical creature-- you might get sore at his constant chatter about Black Bass but you can't lock him out of your heart :-*. You can assign him itineraries in the winter but you know where he'll be in the spring. His sales chart will be as good as the next, but he'll get it there in his own sweet time. He may be the very one who sells the 'rich old buzzard' who spends all his time Bass fishing down South. You might as well give up - - the Bass fisherman is a child of nature with a hopeless one-track mind. He'll do his work with the best of them, but when the spawn is on he's on that bow pitchin his bait into the nastiest places on the lake on the prowl for old Mr. big. He's earnest with his work but he's just a little more sincere when he's sitting on top of a brush pile swimming with bucket mouths. And though you get sore at him in the spring, you know you'll always like him. There's something about him that rings true - - he's almost too honest. He's a simple and kindly man who asks no more of life than the fish eat, rods bend, and everything has a sporting chance. Thanks Grandpa for all the Long days you spent with me showing me the important things in life. Hope you enjoyed it guys! Happy Releasing, Hydrillagorilla aka: A Bass Fisherman

CONGRATS! More fishing to come it sounds like! Good luck at G-ville! Happy Releasing, H.G.

What ever happend to Mac Weakley and his HOSS? any info is appreciated! Stuck in KS...................... Happy Releasing, H.G.

Never had an issue here in B.F.E. KS bro???

GLENN: I think this would be a great venue for a H.B. advertiser. I would give them a try! Happy Releasing, H.G.

not happy to see this many but: WHATS UP MY BURNIN BROTHERN! Honestly: I hadn't considered even saying anything to the doc until I saw your posts: maybe next year I will - looks like there are other options than "over the counter" Keep that stuff under control boys! Happy Releasing, H.G.

My Friend Carp speaks: Listen I don't know about the rest: But C-7 is a good man and doesn't hold back. Bottom line: all the big guys make a good platform. Some do better in certain situations than otthers. BUT - in other situations - they may have attributes. Great problem: BUY A BOAT - - _ -- - IMO HAPPY RELEASING

I have been inspired by the BOY SCOUTS! In addition I have PM'd s4wvd to insure no toes are stepped upon! They have a lake of epic proportions in S.E. KS. Seriously guys: if there is interest here I will do my best to get this done. It is 400 acres of pure bass heaven! If you choose to participate not only will your donation go to one the best causes you will have the privilege to fish one of the best lakes in KS! I have done a few things with them and if we have any interest here I would organize the first KS BOY SCOUT BENEFIT TOURNEY! Gents and Ladies: They have a 400 acre lake that is AWESOME! They do not allow motors but they allow you to put your boat on and use your TM. BR MEMBERS: post up if your are interested: If we get enough interest I will propose it to the council. It would be a minimum of 75 per head (most likely tax deductable) donation to the Boy Scouts of America. POST UP IF YOU WANT ME TO PURSUE! Happy Releasing, H.G. ________________________________________ Central KS FREE THE FIGHTER....IMMEDIATELY! MEMBER SINCE 2004

KU - my brother: it was in Kansas. lets put this scout deal together! There are the equivelent in there! Happy Releasing, H.G.

SUGGESTION/IDEA - YA ALL TELL ME TO PURSUE: Second or third week in MAY: Quivira Boy Scout Lake ( Murray Gill - Think) Lake: sick boy scout private 400 acre watershed: smallies and Blacks in handsome numbers: Donation of (guess: 75.00 a head) tax deductable I suspect if she allows us. Gents: this would be a blast! I would work on organizing if you guys would particpate. I understand its a pocket of cash and if we don't have enough interested parties thats cool. BUT: I think the $$ would be deductable and the lake is 400 acres of pure heaven. You would not be disapointed! (IE: money well spent) I would be happy to foot the tab for B-fast and Shore lunch if this thing gets off the ground! I have briefly spoken with w4svc and he has given his blessing! Post up if this interest you! It will be a trip of epic porportions if the Boy Scouts allow it. Happy Releasing, H.G.

I bought 2 Revo S mid summer '07. While I agree they are a good value. I leaned over 2 weeks ago and the whole side plate feel into the lake. Customer service told me if I sent it in it may be covered. I needed it faster so I ordered and payed for the parts and shipping $42.00 or something. Stuff shows up and try to make heads and tails and realized when I ordered the 3 set screws (looks to be listed as 1 part in the diagram on the website) they only sent 1 and there is a part I can't figure out where it goes. Short story: I am going to look up the reel mechanic. Moral of the story: watch that screw on the sideplate!! Reel is nice though. Happy Releasing, H.G.

Any other chronic heartburn suffers running around here? Curious to how you deal with it. I use Pepcid AC and for me it crushes it! I used to use whatever was available until I found the Pepcid. What do you guys use? Tips for brothers of the burn? Happy Releasing! H.G.

As some may know, I caught my PB yesterday on a Kansas watershed. The lake is 80 acres and there are 3 different landowners that have access to it. The way it's set up is anyone can fish the entire lake provided they have permission from one of the landowners. NOTE: the rules state: While personally I don't believe this would be considered a stocked pond, while it was stocked some time ago in order to put fish in it. It is not a little pond that people drag big fish to and then grow them bigger. It's up to you all. Kansas record: 11.12 My Bass: 9.6 9.6/11.12 X 100 = 86.33 picture: weight: I'm good with whatever. Happy Releasing, H.G.

sweet catt! That is some nice info right there. very generous sir!

One that works. Honestly. I have a MK maxxim 80lb on my boat now and have been happy with it. I like slow ramp up start (instead of just full power it increases to the power you have it set on - I think it makes it more quiet to operate at higher power levels). Prevents me from ending up in the water sometimes ;D
