buzzed bait

i used to trim the weedguards, but haven't in a while and have had no problems with hookups. Siebert makes a great product.

Raider, why must you insult yourself like that?

something about a man and his dog, period.... if you both can manage to go fishing together too, priceless!! Some are calm and some go nuts! My dude Tripp was born for it, loves it and gets mad if i leave him behind!! He really is quite calm on the kayak too, he loves staring down into the water. Here's his "headed to the lake face"!!

I have very low (zero) expectations for my Braves!

i'm not even a kvd fan, just appreciate his talent, but the facts are the facts. whichever of the two name droppers mentioned said he "didn't show up" might take a look at the board. Best Tournament Finish in 2014 / 2015: KVD - 2014 2nd place / 2015 2nd place Ott Defoe - 2014 4th place / 2015 7th place Scott Martin - 2014 8th place / 2015 5th place

Idiot #1 "i've got a great idea..... let's go target some bigass fish and anchor the kayak up. that way we can greatly increase our odds of the thing flipping over while we have sharks under us!" idiot #2 "that is a great idea, i'll bring the beer!!"

seems easy enough, but requires me carrying a bag around in the kayak and i imagine a number of plastic bags would end up in the lake and god knows there's already enough trash in most of them i hear ya, i just don't want to be the guy posting the "what do you think it weighs?" thread after i stick a piglet!

so you poke a hole in the bottom jaw and put the hook from the scale through the hole?

i find that nearly every pair of glasses fit differently, even within one brand. you really do have to try them on and find the right fit. That said, i used to have some maui jim's that i absolutely loved and they were light as a feather. unfortunately, i stepped on them one day and broke them to pieces. i have some costas now, two pairs actually and one fits MUCH better than the other. i haven't worn the other pair in quite some time now.

i'll admit, i'm not a fan of white rods..... BUT that looks stellar man! very clean on everything i'm looking at.... i would be on cloud 9 if i made my own rod and it turned out looking half that good!!!

i mean i don't weigh every fish, but the ones i do i weigh because i think they're chunky and i'd like to know for sure what they weigh. BUT i feel like putting that hook in the gill could somehow do some damage. seems like this would be a much better solution to me, and i already have both ingredients to make it happen... LOL, see i need an excuse as to why it didn't weight as much as it should have!! do you tare or zero out your scales when you do it or just always know to subtract the weight of the grips from the overall weight?

If you use digital scales to weight a fish (especially the kind with the "curved hook" part you slide under the gills to hold) do you ever use the lip grippers and then weight them like that? Similar to how they do on MLF? I hate hanging a nice fish by their gills and was thinking about doing this method using my pair of Fish Grips and my Berkley scale.... Kinda Sorta like this

electrical tape or a rubber band for me

uni to uni is easy for me to tie and since you said guide size is no issue, i would see no problems at all with this knot

nice fishing man! sounds like a pretty epic day to me!

looks like she's been around the block a time or two! nice fish!!

Nicely brag there Clayton! You just forgot to mention it was just you and Coty fishing against each other!!!

i think the mounted camera is the way to go as well... that said, i really think that poor audio, terrible dubstep music or annoying commentary runs me off faster than the poor camera angles.

the crash avoidance technology is to become standard over the next like 5 or 10 years.... somehow, in direct relation, the ability to drive like you have any sense will become extinct in the next 5 or 10 years... no amount of money will make you "learn your lesson" you've got to realize how quickly you could have ruined an entire family, process that and how it would relate to your family and then hopefully learn said lesson

looks like you're in the lead after the first weekend! nice job man!

No idea. I had started another thread asking that same question!

Frankly I wouldn't each much of anything from the lakes nearby... City pollution, no thanks!

The crappie? He lived to swim another day..

That 1 time.... But we really beat ourselves that game! 2nd time we won. And if only they'd beat notre dame in the ACC tournament we could have gone round 3 for the tiebreaker... best rivalry in college basketball for a reason man, always an entertaining game! Anyhow, how bout them yellow jackets?!?!? ? Oh and Michigan freakin State..... Bracket b-u-s-t-e-r

I live just on the other side of Wheeler high school from Sewell road!
