  1. Saw these on youtube and thought they were pretty hilarious!
  2. Im not in anyway knowledgeable on those conventional circle reels. but as far as the levelwind is concerned could you just reel your line all the way in, and then keep reeling until the level goes to where you want it? the line wouldnt move because its all the way in, only the levelwind. Would that work?
  3. This summer has been junk here, we didnt even make it to 100. You southern guys need to quit bragging. here in 3 months youll be enjoying 70 degrees and fishing while im shoveling my driveway.
  4. I went back in the day but didnt know they had this available. We stayed at the wilderness lodge. It was pretty cool. Which i would of known they offered this though.
  5. Tonight i set the hook on something big on a lake in southern michigan. The first thing out of my mouth to my buddy was,"we're going to need a bigger boat". And then my line went slack, my mono leader was cut. Ive never caught a pike so im not sure what they feel like. Is there any tell tale signs? I was throwing a yum dinger into some weeds and it hit when i twitched it. The lake is known for pike so im guessing thats what it was, either that or a bull shark. I still havent ruled that one out. Either way im really starting to reconsider the mono leader i use. Would a fluro leader be better than mono if i hook into the occasional pike?
  6. Isnt it enough that they already have the masters? When will it be my turn for a bps/ gandermtn/ cabelas
  7. I found this walking down the river this spring, now you can say youve seen a fish smoking.
  8. i was shipping my laptop back to the manufacturer with fedex to have an issue with it fixed. I told the woman what it was and everything, she then asked if it would survive a fall from around 6ft. I said maybe that i wasnt sure, the package hp had sent me was pretty sturdy, she then proceeds to lift it up and drop it onto the table.from about 3 ft up. Ive never shipped anything through fedex again.
  9. i like my oakley gascans, stylish enough to wear all the time. they can be had for a little over 100
  10. so far between all the guesses ( leaving out the 1lb guess) the average of the guesses is 5lb. I can live with that.
  11. ive got an s4. I find its a real pain to try to hold the fish up next to my head while taking the shot plus anything of any size is nearly impossible to get the whole fish in.
  12. I already placed the order for one. Now i just need to get me a girlfriend to take pictures of me holding these beasts. Unfortunately buying one of those is largely frowned upon here.
  13. sorry my arm was shaking from this holding this beast up for so long. I managed to hook him with like 5 out of the 6 hooks on both trebles.
  14. the head was probably about an inch off the ground No, the only winner here is me. I have no clue how much the fish actually weighs. I do know that i am placing an order for a scale as we speak. No more unknowns.
  15. I know you guys hate these, but i caught what is in my fishing career a decent sized fish. Hit him on a manns -1, the pond he came out of is filled with spots so at first i thought it was a small spot.That is until he got about 10 yards from me. Then he really put his weight into it, and i realized he was much bigger. ( i know i know, dont lay the fish on the ground, but i was fishing alone and it was the only way i could snap a picture of him) my shoe size is 12 if that helps. Please excuse the crocs, i had not planned on making any photo appearances.
  16. I think the only reason why big baits catch more big fish is that the smaller fish wont hit them as much. That is not always the case of course. I think the biggest issue is finding a big fish. And throwing it what it wants. Im not sure how picky of eaters bass are, but Im pretty big and i can tell you that i can eat a brat or those tiny little sausages. You just have to get it in front of me.
  17. can you explain a little more on this? Is jig fishing from shore a bad idea?
  18. the only lead i worry about is the ones that travel at 3000fps
  19. Op just needs to be banned. He makes it clear on his twitter page that its just a joke to him. Its called trespassing, not to mention the site specifically mentions no talk of illegal activity. Im sure plenty of people here have fished in places they didnt have permission to, but the difference between them and you is they dont have big mouths. Sooner or later thats going to get you into trouble.
  20. Maybe try bobber fishing for a while to lessen the casting
  21. Do you keep all those hogs?
  22. Im not im sure im a fan of how far the hook is from the actual worm.
  23. there isn't a lot of fish there? Try weedless rigging a 4 inch senko and see if that produces. Its kind of tough to say why you arent catching fish. What depth is it? what kind of vegetation and cover would also be useful. Have you tried throwing any hard baits at them?
  24. can you just wrap the center of the senko with electrical tape and heat it up a tad? Thats what i always used for heat shrink. i may try that out with some yum dingers i have that i starting to rip.
  25. If it werent for college football a majority of the clubs and other sports wouldnt even exist at most schools.
