If there is already that many posts about this topic, isn't our opinion already on the forums?

The only bad experience I've had with any companies in the fishing industry is TW. It was only one instance. My wife was buying me a new reel and the card she was using did not match the name on the person on the invoice. The questioning on this was completely justified by TW. I guess I should just say the lady she talked to was hateful about the whole process. As much as I use the internet to fuel my fishing hobby I consider this one small instance a blessing.

I imagine that it is a different change of place going from Tampa, FL to Altus, OK. Welcome to the fishing knowledge bank. Where you decide what is opinion or fact, but hey that's half the fun.

Purcell has been my big project this winter/spring. I live in slaughterville so it is close to home. There are good size bass in Purcell, but sometimes they can be a little tricky to figure out. I have caught up to 6#ers out of Purcell. I have noticed I don't catch that many dinks. I don't catch them often, but when you do they are good size fish.

Could be anyone. Hoping for the Sooners.

My reaction to the booth with these at the next expo.

I would have made an effort to fish at a collegiate level.

Charts had me like:

Walt Disney is rolling over in his grave right now because of you. I hope you're happy! LOL jk

I have had my card compromised twice. First was $500 second was $200. Second time was $200 worth of gas in Mississippi somewhere. I just pictured them inviting all there family and friends to the pump. "Come down on 87th I got the hookup on gas" Money was sorted out in about a week. I gotta tell you though as a college student a week without that money was rough.

See I don't personally own a boat. Every time I have been up there it's been on someone else's boat so I would have to beat the bank, but I'm sure there are places. Also she has lots of reading to catch up on. If you don't mind me asking how long does the expo take? Can it turn into a half-day sort of thing?

If I make the drive I will come have dinner/supper/snack/source of energy with yall. But please understand it is a 100% chance that there is a 50% chance I will be attending.

From what I see everything is free? Weigh in and expo? Can I keep my wife entertained all day?

From my experience on Grand if you find them it's great fishing. If you don't its long rides in the boat. Like bluebasser said they should be starting to move back into those pockets. One last cold front on Tuesday and Wednesday next week could mess with some patterns. I am thinking of making the trip up there to check out what the classic is all about. I have fished Grand a handful of times, but would like to experience the Bassmaster Classic.

Now that's a barn door!
