:-?It was accually at 2am. And the origional post was just before it changed over. oh ok, i just saw the "today" part and not the time part.

hey rocknfish: i say the seccond one is around 6-7lbs, but it is hard too tell. It is denfanetly bigger than the seccond one.

if you have the mods lock the thread, have them unlock it next season.

turn them back tonight?! Daylight savings was last night, at 12am.

someone has tried it, and is still trying it. :-? I think notebook coil wire is perfect. Strong, thin and light. Making a new rig out of my old note book tomarrow....

Nice fish! i say 4-6lbs, maybe more.

This summer was the best one of my life. I'm homeschooled, and this was my first summer off from school. Every day i would wake up, make homemade waffles, prepare my gear, and go fishing for several hours, often more than 5 hours. I learned a ton from fishing with the best young angler i know, bassholebuster14. We fished with sean_e_bus and fisherguy12 all the time. Almost 4 times a week we would take a canoe out onto the local lake. We would have 2 guys paddleing for all they where worth, and the others casting to the near structure and trolling medium cranks. (the paddlers often refused to paddle if somone was trolling a spinnerbait, too much drag you know ) We once had 5 hardcore bass fishermen in the 14ft canoe. 1 guy sitting on the very tail, 1 in the back seat, two sitting on crates in the middle, and 1 in the front seat. Often there would be more than one rod sticking out the end trolling, so i was the job of the very back person to keep a eye on the rods. (keep in mind all these 5 people have well developed baitmonkeys, so there where several tackleboxes, bunches of rods and reels, and other things jammed into any space left) After spending a few hours fishing in the rising sun, we would leave our gear on the shore, and leap from the canoe, diving into the cool and muddy-brown waters. We would often spend hours swimming, playing games like "Run swimmers over with canoe" and "everyone dive off the canoe at the same time". We saw bald eagles, halks, kingfishers and a host of other birds all summer. We did this all summer, along with other fun things like a few overnight canoe/fishing trips. Once we where in the middle of nowhere and we forgot the tarp for the tent. That night was the worst thunderstorm i saw all summer, and we where stuck in it. The matches got wet, so it took us most of the mourning to light the propane stove. We camped out by ourselves for 3 days and 2 nights. We lived off of beans and oatmeal. We had to canoe with two canoes, one 14ft and one 12ft, loaded with drinking water, gear, tent, clothing, food, and outselves, to get to the campsite. If you want to hear a long story about the bloodcurling scream he heard the 2 night, PM me. I got 50x better at bass fishing thanks to this site and my fishing buddies. I landed some nice bass, including a 5lber, almost 5lber, and a bunch of 4lb and smaller ones. Overall, i made some memories this summer. Great ones, at that. good fishing, good fun, and good friends.

walmart has them somtimes... And Dicks Sporting or local tackle shops should carry them. They are great rods, even the low end ones. And i have never broken a rod with a fish on, never. They only times i've had rods break is when they are leaning on something and somone steps on it or somthing heavy falls on it. In these situations a ugly stick would break too.

Yeah, really how are you supose to hold those darn slimy things? I always bring a net to land pickerel. It is almost inpossible otherwise. I hear holding them by the gills can rip them. i once ripped a gill, and the pickerel died. So i usualy hold them right behind the gill and right infront of the tail. And IMHO, pickerel fight just as good as bass, if not better.

If glenn desides to make a BassResource.com Magazine, it will (by far) be the best. other than that, what magazine is the cheapest?

dude, once nexts year's baseball season starts someone should bump this thread, and all the trash talking will start again! Over the years, bass fishing baseball fans will build the largest thread ever known to a forum! And all thanks to MUDDYMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(35 minutes later) There are still some left, watch them while they last!

sweet vid! you guys where catching more bass than you could handle! ;D

i see them, there is a ton! And those are Water Buffalo

I also don't get it.... :-/

nice one chris. ;D

hay LBH, i'm orrigonaly from upstate NY, so we use the term "didjeet" Down south here in NJ most people dont know what we are talking about. You know the round candy that is on the end of a stick that you suck on? In NY they call them "suckers" and in NJ they call them "lollypops". I'm like: "Want a sucker?" and people are like: ""

Question. If you are wearing one of those inflateble life jacket thingys, (the ones that you pull a cord to inflate) And you fall, hit your head, become unconscience, and cant inflate you life jacket, then you drown right? Most people that drown, die because they hit their head and become unconscience. If you hit your head before you pull the cord, then it wouldn't help anything, would it? so wouldn't the normal life jackets be safer?

If you think a ugly stick is sensitive, try a Fenwick GT or Venture. The difference is amazing, and the fenwicks are only $20 more. Rods can get fractured before being used, and once you get a fish on they break. This can happen to all rods, ugly stick or not. Warrenty usualy covers it.

yeah, when i saw that picture i nearly fainted. The biggest thing ive cought was a tree.

complete with sand pit for dust baths! I say it it more like a cow hotel. ;D just kidding, golf is grand fun.

guys, he means the rod "Ugly Stick Lite" not "light action" And, no. Ugly sticks make horribal bass rods. Carp and catfish, yes. Bass no. Get a Berkly Lightning Rod, same price and much better.

yeah, you (SFC_AL) have probaly looked at this thread atleast twice.

i'm watching something in the woods that resembles 2 monkeys, porbaly baboons. yup, a few baboons frolicing around the brush. WHOA, i was watching this one baboon and all the sudden another one twice its size comes out. now they are grooming eachother.... EDIT 15mintures later: A whole bunch of monkeys playing in the trees. Some Gazele spotted near monkeys....

Exactly right about the "uncomfortable, bulky, orange pieces of garbage" That is the reason i dont wear one when i canoe. (the lake is small and only 4ft deep) And the jackets we have are kid sized, meaning they are for 4yr olds. I can swim better without those life jackets than with one. I would wear one of those inflatiable ones at "all times", if i had one. Hey, they are so cool, i would wear it the bathtub! Matt
