Funniest moment on The Bassmasters since David Fritts took an unexpected swim.

She is one of the skankiest skanks to ever skank.

Yes, but I'm nowhere near limber enough...

Anything less would be uncivilized.

Unless you pay extra for shipping at BPS, they won't get in any hurry to get it out the door.

Hot hot hot! And the weather was pretty hot too. Not many wrecks. The Kvapil/Busch the ***** incident with 20 to go was good. Forgot my camera, so no photos. :'(

Hey, it's only 200 laps. They'll barely have time to get the tires good and hot.

Got free tix, so I'm finally going. It's 90* and should be around 30 000 people there. What fun! Hopefully there will be a few good wrecks. That's what Bristol is all about! ;D

The SC Premier is made in the US as well.

I'd like to spend a day in the boat with those two guys.

They are going the Tracker route with these. A 40 lb. TM on the front of that thing would be a hoot. They're shooting for the crowd that either can't afford or refuse to spend $20K+ on a boat. But like you say, once you throw in what you either need or want, it isn't that good of a deal. A 2007 285XL MSRP's for $22995.

Use line to get the measurements. Stretch a piece of line from nose to tail, then cut it to length. You can do one of two things with the girth. Do it with another piece of line or use the length piece and tie a knot in it.

You're going to have to do a lot of searching... And dodge my bullets. I'll pull the AR out of the rod locker! 8-)

I had hoped the 186XT would feature side rod lockers rather than a center. I guess the 285XL is still my best bet.

Here's a tip. Save your money, then order one of these. http://www.***.com/descpageRDCOKUMA-OGSBBR.html

I've been using an 320 for the last year. Not a bad graph for the money. Not the best, but not the worst either.

The last our our club's night tournaments for the year. 33 hours over a month on three lakes. While I love night fishing, 11 hours a night is a bit much. Anywho, Ft Pat isn't exactly a destination fishery. 850 acres, tons of pleasure boat traffic. I fished there back in the spring, only got bit once and it was a carp. Planned on fishing Friday night and spending the morning in my camper, but a pulled back muscle put a stop to that. Nearly OD'ed on ibuprofen Saturday trying to get my back into shape. Got out the door late, barely got launched in time. If not for TheBeast, I would have sunk my boat thanks to forgetting to put the plug in. I blast off 2nd from last, but I let everyone go on since my boat is tiny and doesn't handle big wakes all that well. Hit my first spot, at least two other club boats in there. I spent about 4 hours running that one bank, got a few bites but nothing else. TheBeast calls, hasn't had any luck either. Run down the lake and meet him, then we head down towards the dam. Start getting a few more bites, but again, nothing. Then TheBeast hooks up on a decent smallie and then a nice chunk largemouth. After a couple of hours, we split up again. I go to a secret spot that a friend told me about. Again, a few bites, but nothing. Boat drifts a bit while I'm talking to my wife. Decide to fish the water in front of me. Discover a little sumpin' sumpin' on the bottom (being purposely discrete since I can't reveal my spot to TheBeast) while fishing a spinnerbait. Second cast into that spot, BAM! FISH ON! I horse it to the surface, see that it is a huge fish. I keep pressure on the fish, grab my net (fishing alone) and get ready to land the big *****. Almost have her in the net, she shakes her head one more time, throws the spinnerbait in the boat and swims off. :'( :'( :'( Fish was at least 5 lbs. I spent about another hour there, had about an hour left. Friend calls, he gives me another spot to try. d**n near sink my boat taking off thanks to either a floating dock or a pallet. Get to the spot, start throwing a buzzbait. Barely keeping it on the surface at first. After about 10 minutes of that with no action, I start speeding my retrieve up. First cast I get a swirl. Working the bank pretty fast, I come to the launch ramp. Throw the buzzer up on the bank, start ripping it back. WHAMMY! FISH ON!! It starts taking drag, so I know it is a big fish. Grab the net, get it in the water, then fish takes off again. Made three runs at the boat before I could get it in the net. Up and into the boat and I'm staring at a pig smallie. Lipped it, hook just fell out of it's jaw. Barely hooked. Spent the next 45 minutes working the remaining bank, got a couple more light bites. But at least I didn't skunk out. 3.41 lbs was a good reward for the night. TheBeast ended up with 6.1 and finished fourth. His pig LM weighed 3.89 and got him $70 for big fish. Amazing that I spent 11 hours on the water, caught one fish, and can't wait to get back on the water. That after fishing Douglas two weeks ago, catching a ton of fish, and then just not having any desire to get on the water. So here are the fish. First, TheBeast's big fish. And my pig smallie. Later Sunday, TheBeast and I fished our Dinkmaster Trail tournament. He got big fish honors for that one as well with this monster.

A surge protector is useless. Get a UPS. Provides surge protection, battery backup and protection against electrical noise. http://www.apcc.com/index.cfm?isoCountryCode=us

If the camera has a memory card, get a card reader. Doesn't eat up memory like an always-running program.

+1 That is what mine requires.

Could be right away, could be never. One local reservoir was almost completely drained due to dam construction and a severe drought. It was down for a little over a year. Fishing this summer (second year of being full/almost full) has been good.

Yep, IMO too many. Two options...right click on icon and select exit, close now, etc. OR Start>Run>MSCONFIG>Startup tab Don't remove everything, but I would remove Quicktime, WinZip, desktop search, earthlink (unless required for your internet connection), and kodak.

Cut it yourself. Haven't been to a barber in 5 years. I do miss going to the barber shop though...

Run a disk cleanup first. Delete all of your temp files, cookies, etc. Then defrag.
