Congratulations. Way to stick with it. There's nothing like targetting that fish and getting the payoff. Eddie

Dinks are better than skunks. Still sounds like a good day on the water with your dad.

Amazing. Killer job. Can't even begin to imagine what that must be like.

Very nice!!! Love that first one and the prop. Eddie

That is just beyond tragic. I can't imagine having to go through something like that. Will keep them in my prayers. Its bad enough when things like this happen to adults, but, when its children makes it a tragedy. Chilldren should not have to endure this. Don't know why God allows these things to happen, but know that he is soveriegn. Please keep us posted. Eddie

Rediculous. Of course, crazier things have happened - Marion Barry. If elected, they deserve him. How bad of a politician would you have to be to lose an election to a sex offender?

Congratulations!! Thank you for your service to our country. Stay safe. Eddie

Very cool. I have yet to see one in the wild. There are suppose to be some on the local lake here (Jordan) but never seen one. Great pics.

I'll say - that where I am at right now. Noticed the top 4 all have Kansas winning it all. Kinda scary there, guys..... This Stanford v Marquette game is great. Got a little bit of everything - controversy, technicals, ejections - Marquette is not playing like a #6 team. Good game, but they just lost. Duke screwed me up - had them going to the elite 8 getting beat by Uconn : - but it doesn't bother me that bad. . Clemson also busted on me as well. That's what I get for pulling for other ACC teams. Oh, well. No where to go but up...... Go Heels!!!!

Awesome as always! My favorite pattern is the one that's second from the top in the second group.

Nice fish. Wish my pond had them that size.

I'm Eddie Taylor in the brackets. My 'heels are looking (relatively) good tonight. Absolutely great to see Ty Lawson stopping and popping on that ankle. Believe he's back. The turnaround layup under goal was great. As I have been saying this year, its a different team when Lawson is on the floor. Just busted a 100. Was really hoping duke would have lost last night. Belmont put up a heckuva of fight. Go Heels!

Sorry for your bad day - everyone has them and they suck not matter the situation. Hang in there, buddy. It will get better. Next time, let your sister tag along with you and she can hang in the fishing section for 4 hours.

Great news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad to hear this. More prayers (and praise for the good news) coming for your progress. Hope you get a hawg this weekend. The weather should be pretty nice for us. 8-) Eddie

Very nice.

Nice fish. Sorry you lost the others. Still sounds like fun. The gator would not be competition - would conceed and run.

Looks cold. Nice looking fish - always good to break that dry spell. Congratulations

I just set up a bracket group on CBS sportsline for us. If people want to check it out and discuss if we want to use, that's fine - I'm open if there is something else out there better. I checked out a few other sites but this one seemed to have the most features and best performance - some took a while to load the page(s). Let me know what you think. Click the link below (or cut and paste the link into your browser's address bar). You'll be asked to enter the group's password - Our Group password is: fishing http://bassresource.mayhem.sportsline.com/e Here is the points/scoring system: Weight Bonus First Round: 1 Add Seed Second Round: 2 Add Seed Third Round: 2 Add Seed Fourth Round: 4 Add Seed Semifinals: 4 Add Seed Finals: 8 Add Seed The "bonus" adds the seeding of the winner to the total score - ie, if your #7 seed wins in the fourth round, you get a total of 11 points. Totally open to change the weightings or the bonus. Can chose "nothing" for the bonus, or, multiply seed - #7 pick in the fourth round is 32 points(#7 seed x weight of 4)+weight of 4). The original weighting was (per round) 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32. I changed it thinking the lower weights may keep it more competitive - once again open for any and all suggestions. Post any thoughts or comments on this setup. Eddie

Just saw the brackets - guess a Kansas and UNC final is out. Will make for an interesting final-4 if both make it. KU_Bassmaster, agree, I think Tennessee is dangerous. Really did not want to see them in the East. How did Duke wind up a #2 seed in the West playing in Washington, DC?

Well, my beloved Tar Heels outlasted a scrappy and well coached Clemson team to win the the ACC Tournament (making them the ACC Champion 8-)) - back to back ACC titles. My thoughts heading into the tournament: UNC has a good shot of taking it all. Winning the tournament should set them up as the #1 seed in the East heading into the NCAA tournament. The way the pods/regionals are set up, they would not have to leave the state until the final 4. But, its the NCAA tournament - anything can happen. Clemson is good. Told my family that was in town that Clemson could win this - they are very athletic and well coached. They have been playing very well of late and think they will far in the tournament. Think Kansas and Tennessee will go far and do well - imagine a UNC and Kansas final. Waiting to see the brackets here in a few hours. What is everyone thinking on this year's tournament? Let's start talking it up! Eddie

Very nice. Those look like they could catch some fish.

Good news: Weather was nice and with the time change had some time to go to the pond after supper Thursday night. Bad news: only had about a half hour. Good news: With the recent rain we've had the pond is almost back to the normal level. :D Bad news: there is none for this. The drought has been pretty bad. Good news: After a couple throws, my megabait charlie swimbait was ABSOLUTELY clobbered. Bad news: Lost it. In my haste to make the most of my limited time that I had did not check the drag. It was still backed off all the way after I put it up last fall. Good news: Got another hit few minutes later. Bad news: Got it to the shore and getting ready to lip it when it threw the hook, flooped one time on the ground and swam off. Good news: Great evening to be on the water. Weather was nice, pond is up and I saw some spawning beds.

Very nice looking fish!

That's why I got two. The one downstairs has Little Einsteins, Clifford and Curious George. I have the HD DVR upstairs for daddy. 8-). DVR is the best. The only live TV I watch are sports.

Rediculous. I want to see how he turns that thing. Definitely compensating - trying to look cool to make up for lack of common sense.
