awesome man! congrats to you! 8-) Jason

from what i've read, the eye "bulge" comes with age. as the bass gets older it's eyes bulge out more. Jason

i'd use probably a black or black/blue chunk or trailer of some sort on there. The eakin's craws are great on their jigs. I usually hop my jigs, maybe pulling it 8" off the bottom, sometimes more if the bass say to do so. You can just pull them across the bottom also, or pitch them into some heavy stuff and yo-yo them. Pretty much endless techniques with jigs. Jason

try them on a Carolina Rig. Jason

I use a 4/0 on 6" worms...and step up to 7/0 on 10" worms. Jason

beautiful bass!! keep at it! Jason

Welcome!! and awesome fish! 8-) I would recommend the Yo-Zuri Ultra Soft in 6lb for your spinning set up and 12lb for your baitcasters. Jason

Hey guys, got a new St. Croix Avid 6'6" Medium-Light / Fast action spinning rod to use for drop shot. What other applications could it be considered good enough for? Weightless soft plastics? Jason

Went out to spend 4 days with my buddy and celebrate my 27th birthday in Johnstown, CO, 1 hr. north of Denver. It was sooooo nice all weekend! Mid 50's and into the 60's. We didn't do a whole lot, but that was just fine with me. Was my last chance to relax before the little one comes (wife is due in 1 month). Wish I could have had a chance to fish, but too much ice and not enough time. Will definitely go fishing next time. Maybe even head up into the mountains and try for some Rainbow's. It's really nice to be home, even though i have to head back to work tomorrow. Oh well, such is life. Glad to be back to the forums! Jason

very sweet bass! Jason

that's very awesome. is there any way to stream it online so we can listen in and call? Jason

good place would be flipping timber laydowns and brushpiles. could also use it anywhere you would a t-rigged worm, or on a carolina rig. pretty much endless options. Jason

very awesome! congrats on your first fish with your new gear. it's a never ending battle from here on out... Jason

i have 3 of the Accurrist AC500CX's. I love them. Great reel for the money. I'll be buying a couple more this weekend. Jason

I keep all mine sorted by brand, then in each brand box they are separated by depth. Jason

Welcome to the forum! 8-) First suggestion would be to go to the top of the page and click on fishing articles, then click "Beginning Anglers" Tons and tons of great info! Jason

what type of stuff do you already have and what do you need(want ) i'd suggest some cranks or spinner baits you need, or some soft plastics. Jason

Well, i stopped by the local sporting goods store, Scheels Outfitters, to see if they had started to stock they're spring fishing stuff...sure enough, they did, and i couldn't help myself ... Here's everything together... Mann's Baby 1- Booyah 1/2oz spinner baits and Booyah Pond Magic 3/16oz spinner baits, 1 little Booyah buzzbait to try out on the pond to see if the smaller size helps Booyah Boogie Baits, Strike King Pro Model Cranks, and Strike King Red Eye Shad (the only 2 colors they had out) Booyah Boo Jigs 1/4oz YUM Wooly Hawgtail 3" for jig trailers, and more YUM Dingers Chompers stand up jig heads and brush jig heads for some double tail skirted grubs i have SHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! don't tell my wife.... 8-)
