Yet another great fish from Mr. Big-O congratulations on you're many achievements, I believe you to be one of the most incredible Lure designers in the world, and yet here you are in America ! Awesome !!

Yep those are good rods too, I think there running sic guides too

Nothing I can see, apparently the whiners are the toilet busting bass fishers org. I saw it as funny, with truth mixed in... That it just a funny arse thread!!

Dang, that man is huge is he in movies? A cop? I wouldn't suggest he's a Gelding but he may cry before he crushes you're skull!! I never seen anyone do that it's amazing how some folks are blessed with great strength potential ! Nice vid.....

Plus you're going to love that Curado I lol!!!

You did the exact right thing, you played with it enought to Not be impressed, I did too the day bass pro got them a couple years ago! That's a smart move IMO !

Yea that lake has a history even in circles in my state of Indiana.... What a nightmare, glad you're safe, but dang, I feel for ya on the boat repair issues ! Wow, Best wishes!

Yea those are great fish, nice weights and great pics! Nicely done!!

I vote for the Falcons over the other choices you listed... The BPS is a good stick at the price... Just old timey...

Yep... I hate to say it but tough, is a nice way to say it.... It's a joyful lake to be on either one.... But I just go on trips to catch bigger fish now, it's not even a good lake to catch even dinks... Great panfish lake... Huge crappie

Looked good for a few seconds... Thanks for posting

Well that would ruin anyone's day...

I am laying odds on Bigfoot breaking that lizards neck!

Messy for bass tournaments

Depends on the cover I guess. You pitch light plastics in sparse cover or? Rocks and stuff flurocarbon /soft cover braid but I will now use both in whatever cover, lol!! So idk...

LApanic, you contact the manufactors of you're reels and you can then order you're spare spool It's a shame, they always for at least 25 years included a spare spool... Mostly none do now!

I think most rods are built to handle braided lines nowadays. I like moderate fast tips,mostly with braid, I have a kistler spinner rod that's a fast tip for drop shot.. It's fine too

I did not mean to imply anything about you're very nice fish, only that it's well known that camera phones/ digital really can strangely record objects different from the human eye.. That's all, maybe it did come across wrong. It was not my intent to insult you at all, if I did, I offer my apologie. Great fish and great story! Thanks for sharing

Fishes in trees you are so very right about the reel..... I suspect mine (cte200gt) will outlive me too.... Awesome reels...

I don't know, but d**n that's funny! Boy I needed a good out loud laugh!! Oh lord, that's frigging Halarious !!!

Yes you do generally trig them, I used lead for years, but have used tungston slip sinkers since 98? I don't need a EWG, for a worm like that, just a round bend z bend in the appropriate size as in 3/0 to 7/0 ... 1/0 to 2/0 on 3" to 5" offset shank also as owner calls them, straight shank hooks as well... I will use a EWG where I need to as in swimbaits or just really thicker plastics, just not on a ribbon tale...

After re- reading, I believe you may be right!

Is that the Johnny Morris reel that you had missing brakes on? Take a picture and post it for exact info.

Well I gotta tell ya, that first pic, fish looks beefy! Next 2 look slim and different, and that's digital photography for ya! Nonetheless that's a heck of a fish and a neat strike story too!!

Idk bmac31, but sure looks like that tat is causing a lil discomfort!! Lol.. Scott
