  1. I use my digital camera.
  2. Bass Pro has a 17' Old Town with folding seats for $695. Looks like the Discovery 169, but it isn't branded in that fashion.
  3. I think you would be hard pressed to beat the Stradic FI.
  4. Depending on the type of cover being fished, PLine CX or CXX 10 lb.
  5. I wasn't responsible, but the joke involved packing peanuts, orange spraypaint and an empty bag of cheetos.
  6. Michelob Ultra, Newcastle, Guinness, Miller Lite, Old Style
  7. All about 'making' news. Hysteria sells advertisements.
  8. If Yost did one good thing last season, it was riding CC as hard as he did. Can you say Carl Pavano v2.0? ;D
  9. Sat in right field at Turner Field in July once. Braves were playing the Red Sox. Forgot the sunscreen at home. There were five of us on the trip, all five us drove home that evening in pure misery. My friends legs were blood red.

  11. I got to say I was amazed earlier this year when I bought some tungsten weights to try out. I had some glass beads and I compared the tap sound of led hitting the glass and then the tungsten. The tungsten was easy twice as loud. Also Big O how do you typically recommend how to fish the Anaconda or rather retrieve it? I can understand conditions can vastly change this. So you typically pop the lure back with fast jerks. Slowly raise and lower the lure,or drag it on the bottom ect? Don't pair a glass bead with a tungsten weight unless you like cutting your line.
  12. There is no right way. You can swim it, yo-yo it, pop it like a jig along a sloped bank, fish it like you would a spinnerbait. The bladed jig is a very versatile lure.
  13. that sun is a PITA for a vampire like myself. When you're used to night games, sunscreen doesn't even enter the equation. I guess it is a lesson learned...and a painful few days ahead.
  14. That's what they said at the break in 07. I wonder how that season turned out? Lou's teams start slow and finish well. I'm not worried.
  15. It stands to reason that if you can own Bill Dance on any public water, you are obviously capable of teaching Kevin VanDam the proper way to fish reaction baits. Perhaps when you're done there you can show Denny Brauer how to fish a jig. :
  16. Consider the source. This is the guy who can beat Bill Dance and teach KVD how to fish a crankbait. :
  17. Don't pay attention to the price on the website. I paid $700 for the Discovery 169 four years ago at Bass Pro Shops. If you want something that you can own for years, buy Old Town.
  18. Mmmm, grass-coated bass...
  19. Look for something a little longer. http://www.oldtowncanoe.com/canoes/generalFamily/discovery_169.html
  20. awesome. i hate all things earth friendly, eco friendly, eco anything, green, hybrid, and the like. i am so sick of hearing about like this. Welcome to the world of peer pressure. I've been inundated with this enviro-BS for at least 25 years.
  21. I've had my Mustang for a couple of months. I've worn it around 10 times. Never been uncomfortable. If you're having problems in the neck area, check out the Mustang models with the neoprene collar. I wore mine all day Saturday in 85* weather and never really knew it was there.
  22. Hard to throw in the places we were fishing. One lake full of trees and snot grass, the other full of some of the toughest grass I've ever seen.
  23. Tommy and I spent 19 hours on the water this weekend and all we caught was one stinking fish (we did get 6 or 7 bites over the weekend). And we had to wait till we got 10 minutes from home for that fish. Got a photo on my phone, but I'm running on fumes....
  24. You should have sent it to the manufacturer. You could have gotten a new reel in return.
