had a great time mike. that 7 pounder slammed your bait! next time we fish, we go to the lake. i'm off until late august, so let me know when you are ready.

right on!

i am not fishing that event, but there is a small open at slims.

good luck y'all. i will be there sunday

thanks everyone. it was a special day. when my partner hooked the 9 pounder, i thought it was a gator. the wake this thing was pushing and small bass, bream and shiners were scattering trying to get out of the way, i didn't even get the net. when we saw the fish we both freaked! it was just and amazing day. every single fish came on topwater---everyone of them. last year we had 27 pounds in the classic and came in fourth. we honestly thought someone had more weight. the lake is still hot and with 2 1/2 days left of school, i will be going quite often.

last night we had our meeting to see where the king of the glades classic would be. the 5 choices were holey lands, sawgrass, the big turnaround, belle glade and clewiston. clewiston was the location that was drawn out of the hat. we were boat 17 out of 20 and we knew right where we were going to go. last saturday my partner and i found some good fish and decided to go back and roll the dice. what a great decision that was, because we had 25 pounds in the boat by 11 am. we actually got tired of catching 4 pounders and decided to go check out another area. the other area was junk so we headed back to our original spot. second cast back and we banged another 7 pounder. needless to say we stayed there for the rest of the day. we ended up winning the tourny with 33.26 pounds with a 9.22 kicker. second place had 22 pounds and third had 21. what a great day it was!

throw big snakes and bluegill swimbaits. i had a tourny there on saturday and had 17 pounds. i also caught a bunch on a crankbait. caught 2 three pounders on one cast. mm41 is way better than holiday.

nice robert. won't be long until he is waking you up saying "let's go fishing dad". love it.

i never use backing. i have never experienced this "slipping" effect. i use the entire spool of braid, and i do something that not many guys do. after i use the braid for a couple of months, i will then spool another reel with the "old braid" so that when i get to the end of the spool i am taking off, it is "new" line for the other reel. i hope that made sense. virtually giving you 2 quality spools of braid for the price of one.

20 and change

so did we. we ended up finishing 10th. fortunately for us, a lot of teams that were ahead of us, zeroed. hopefully we make it to the classic.

i use 50# braid on most with 65# for flipping. the only mono i use is like most, for giggy and spinnerbaits. the only mono i use for topwater is for popping baits. i love the jig loop and a pop'r. i'm with evrglades, not a big fan of flouro. i have one spinning outfit with 8# fluoro for drop shot.

this time of year, big worms for me. i wil throw flukes, swimbaits etc. but i spend a little more time with the big worm bite on the ledges.

saw the video on youtube a week ago. your hooksets are beautiful! love the power. way to go big O

thanks slone-i'll try this weekend doug-too funny

best.line.ever

been soakin up catts knowledge for years. keep it comin catt. i love to learn.

stick with it eric. your kids will thank you for it later.

online for sure. tw is where i get 90% of my tackle. free shipping over $50 and for 5 extra $ you get it in 2 days. i will go to bps to get rods, reels, sunglasses etc because i need to feel it before i buy it. it also doesn't hurt that gambler's warehouse is < 5 miles away.

is it possible/cost effective to fix a refrigerator or should i just buy another? had it for 8 years and it is not getting cold on both sides. took all of the food out and 2 days later it was cold. any trouble shooting tips? thanks in advance.

dude you live in coral springs, take a kelly day and go find some fish. the lake is hot right now. i don't think it matters where you go, there are fish everywhere.

that is a fat snickers bar to a snook

horrible news. a true waterman.

tim and dean had 19 pounds as well. they came in second. 13+ was third. i had 9 pounds and finished 10th. tim and dean were in the same area i was, they were targeting bedding fish. i was catching fish all day on topwater. i caught fish all day, but obviously no good ones.

shane, what time are you all getting together?
