Tred Barta
I dig Tred Barta. He can be a hard on sometimes, but its much more entertaining than another hunt on some private ranch underneath a feeder.

Most memorable childhood Christmas present!
Diamondback Viper Feather Weight BMX when I was 7. Ruger 10/22 when I was 11. And as a big kid, the first Christmas I spent with my girl she gave me a Powell 734C, Chronarch B, Lowrance X96, and a 3:16 Armageddon. I decided to keep her. ;D

I cannot understand what you are saying. Who cares if the workers are stupid/lazy/indifferent? Like Dan said, stupid is not illegal, stealing is. (although, if someone puts forth a bill to make stupidity illegal, I'd sign off on it ;D)

Thief
The initial news report said that he was suspected of selling these items on "his website: Texas Fishing Forum" and ebay. They have made the correction in that he does not own TFF, but did sell these items on it and "others".

If you had the chance to sit down with one professional angler 1 on 1 and honestly talk FISHING...
Of all the fishermen who I would most like to pick their brains, none of them are professional anglers.

Favorite Album Covers
Thats no trick photography or posing. They paid this guy to take a couple punches from Phil. This is one of them. It is one of those album covers that truly matches the feel of the music too.

Correct way to hold a large bass?
I just re-read and I initially took your question as a rhetorical one pertaining to my avatar picture. Now I think that you were asking my opinion on the safety of holding them as your pictures show. I agree, that is perfectly safe. As long as you keep a very firm grip on the jaw. I have seen many people hold them that way, then get lax in their grip since the weight is all on their other hand. When the fish squirms, they have a tendency to end up in the bottom of the boat.

Correct way to hold a large bass?
What do they do when you have your thumb and index finger in the eye sockets? Poop on your lawn? ;D Its interesting that you think they look bigger horizontal. I have vertical and horizontal shots of every big fish I have ever caught. Yet all my favorites and practically every picture I post will be vertical, cause they always look bigger to me. I take a good deal of big bass information to heart when I hear it from my friend Steve (urbanredneck on br). He is a professional biologist with a masters, whose thesis focused on largemouth, and who regularly sticks giants. He tells me it is as safe for the fish as holding one out of water can get, I believe him. I would like to reiterate, for the safety of the fish, that when talking about holding one handed, They must be 100% vertical. Any lateral leverage on the jaw can be quite traumatizing for a large bass.

Correct way to hold a large bass?
For the most part, I keep them 100% vertical while holding thier lower jaw. I will occasionally hold them horizontal with my other hand supporting near the anal fin. The people that claim that holding a large bass VERTICALLY by the lower jaw is damaging are deranged. I had one not so bright individual on this board call me out for holding my bass that way. He went on to tell me how he would hold bass of this weight, and bass of that weight horizontally only. I then asked him how he managed to weigh them without hanging them from their lower lip, lol.
