  1. I bought that exact model this week after looking forever. Two BPS's didn't have it. I had been keeping all of my spinnerbaits in one of the Plano square boxes. I pretty much had to carry an extra bag just for the spinnerbait box. The 3704 will hold more than it says and does a good job of it.
  2. If Kevin has a day like he had today, nobody will catch him. I was very surprised when he pulled those two bigguns out of his livewell at the weigh-in. Tomorrow might be a tough day with a front moving through tonight.
  3. Muddy, I hope you like soup beans, corn bread, turnip greens, and fried chicken.
  4. I remember there being some complaints about my previous avatar. So I made a new one. Is it less spooky? 8-)
  5. The Bachelor Byron Velvick and Mary Delgado. I assume they are wed. They are ESPN's 'sideline' reporters for the Classic.
  6. BPS is having a killer sale on their Extreme combos. $70 if memory serves. I played with a few of the combos last weekend and liked them. The rods are usually $100, reels $60.
  7. Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter...it's all good. Seriously, most stores usually have their clearance sales in late winter (which is to say NOW).
  8. We think alike. First thought that popped in my mind.
  9. That is the only reason I have not bought any of them. That said, the terminal tackle box looks better and better every time I dig into the Plano I am currently using.
  10. Got a Do-It RHB 8-18 and a Hot Pot 2 last weekend at BPS. My friend found some lead and away we went. This is the first batch. 1/8 oz. on 2/0 Eagle Claw 570 hooks. Had some trouble getting complete pours. We would usually get 4 or 5 good heads out of each batch of 8. Most had incomplete collars. Don't know if that was due to the lead (old round balls) or just my inexperience. This was my first time using the ProTec as well. I need to make a small rack for hanging after I dip. Just laid those on the counter and you can see the result. Directions say to cure in a 350* oven for 15-20 minutes. Didn't have access to an oven that hot (at work), so I used a 105*C oven for 2 hours. This whole tackle craft thing could get very addictive.
  11. That's enough reason to put a hole through his lower unit with a G20. >
  12. I'll give you a crash course in techniques in my front yard using top notch Shimano gear.
  13. Forget the fishing coverage, I just want to see the Hooters boat and Mary all day. 8-)
  14. I doubt they were supporting them, I'd say Vs just threw the commercial in there. At least I hope so or the Lindners will join Roland in the doghouse.
  15. I was under the impression that they were going to do some live stuff after they aired the day 1 highlights. Good thing I caught it before the DVR kicked in for the second showing. Makes absolutely no sense whatsoever to show the exact same piece back to back.
  16. You know something, that sounds like a plan. But actually I was just planning on stowing away in Muddy's tackle box. Ain't like he is gonna need any of those lures anyway.
  17. Saw this on an infomercial during Lindner's fishing show this morning. http://www.bionicfishfinder.com And if you order in the next two hours, you'll get the Bionic Minnow kit FOR FREE! ;D ;D ;D The demo they showed during the commercial made it look like a video game. I think the old handheld bass fishing game was better than this thing.
  18. If he tried to sell you a Lowrance 111, Ono sunglasses, Yamamoto baits, or SmartShield sunscreen, then it was probably Roland. ;D
  19. No. At most a pool will contain 2-3 mg/L of free Cl2. No more than normal tap water (supposed to have a total residual of around 1 mg/L). Chlorine is an oxidizer, but it takes levels much higher than that to damage something.
  20. All algae needs to grow is sunlight and a sufficient substrate. Throw a piece of PVC in the back of a cove and retreive it a week later. It will be covered in algae and slime.
  21. No more so than the junk in a normal river.
  22. I assume you mooks will be heading down I-81? If so and you pass through my vicinity at a reasonable hour, I'd like to buy youse guys breakfast/lunch/dinner.
  23. At least you got out the door for less than I did. :-/
  24. Same thing happened to me...sort of. I smoked for 7 or 8 years. Decided I wanted to quit, so I quit. Didn't have a smoke for 3 years. Then got a new co-worker who smoked like a freight train. After being around him once a week for a couple of years, he wore me down. I know I need to quit, but until I really get the urge to quit, I won't. Actually wanting to quit is the only way you will ever kick the stuff.
