BASS302

You know you've been talking fish at work too much when you talk about a good leader and your boss knows you are not referring to to him/her.

I agree with this. My wisdom teeth were growing in sideways and pushing against my other teeth. I had to get all 4 removed. They did it all at once. When I was able to return to work, my co-workers said I looked like a chipmunk with cheeks full of nuts. Hope everything goes well for you for your other teeth.

I have a 2005 Cabela's catalog. The Cotton Cordell Grappler Shad has two sizes listed. 2 7/16", 1/4 oz is listed as diving to 6 ft. 2 7/8", 7/16 oz is listed as diving to 8 ft. The catalog states that it is "Gary Roach Approved", so it's probably designed for walleye (but that won't stop a bass from biting it). Good Luck. Let us know how it works.

@everythingthatswims, Great job!

Much safer:

From the Entomology Today website: Spotted Lanternfly: A Threat Poised to Broadly Impact the U.S. The spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) can deposit up to almost 200 egg masses on a single host, but the host need not be a plant: lanternflies are happy to place egg masses on stones, fences, and other construction material, which makes them a great hitchhiking species. (Photo credit: Lawrence Barringer, Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, Bugwood.org) Spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula, or SLF) is another stowaway from Asia on commercial products. This species is native to northern China and was first detected in Pennsylvania in 2014. It was immediately quarantined by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, and vigorous eradication efforts were deployed. However, it has since spread to neighboring states in the Mid-Atlantic region, which elicits a feeling of déjà vu with BMSB, which was first detected in Allentown, Pennsylvania, but quickly spread to neighboring states. In the quarantine zone in Pennsylvania, SLF has been reported to be so numerous that a literal rain of honeydew (a sugary secretion produced by true bugs) falls on observers and nearby vegetation wherever aggregations are present. Preferred SLF host plants are tree of heaven (abundant in the eastern U.S.), grapes, and tree fruit. So far, SLF has a host range that incorporates over 70 host plant species. SLF can deposit up to almost 200 egg masses on a single host, but it need not be a plant: the lanternflies are happy to place egg masses on stones, fences, and other construction material, which makes them a great hitchhiking species. The sheer density of SLF on hosts can be overwhelming, and, with its recent expansion into neighboring states, this may be the beginning of another disruption to integrated pest management programs for specialty crop producers in the U.S.

There's another fire near Clear Lake right now.

The Original Chatterbaits that I bought came with Elaztech Split Tail trailers, so I agree with JustJames. The Elaztec stuff does react a bit with regular rubber.

@A-Jay, Quick, check the hose, I think you left it on!

Please check your regulations, I think Tilapia might be illegal to possess or transport in Texas.

do you mean Moreaux?

I think Burmese pythons are from Asia, not South America. South America has anacondas.

@everythingthatswims, I just read an article about you and your teammate on the bassmaster website. Good luck with your tournament and with team of the year. @everythingthatswims, I just read an article about you and your teammate on the bassmaster website.

Just saw this. @Bluebasser86, sorry to hear about your son's ordeal. I hope he mends quickly. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Please post some photos of everyone's lures! I think many of us are interested in seeing what all of you created.

Can anyone tell me what bigfoot feces look like? I don't want to step in them. Maybe it's constipated?

@bluebasser86, I'm a city slicker. What happens when a person runs up behind a cow? (serious question)

Suggestion: Get a catalog from Jann's NETCRAFT (see their website). The catalog has size diagrams for Colorado, Willowleaf, Indiana, and French type blades. Maybe you can contact Customer Service for Jann' NETCRAFT or LurePartsOnline and ask them what they recommend for parts for certain species.

@localhost, Your bass is not a pet. You are a member of Bass Resource. I think that qualifies your bass as an emotional support animal.

@tcbass, http://mustad-fishing.com/am/?s=fastach&post_type=product I don't know if you can order from that site.

@tcbass, They are still listed on the Mustad website. Try LurePartsOnline or Jann's Netcraft or MuskyShop.

@Montanaro, Here's a photo of (left to right): 1) Cotton Cordell Superspot 2) Strikeking Red Eyed Shad 3) Booyah One Knocker 4) Bill Lewis Rattletrap 5) Rapala Ripping' Rap The last two are thinnest of the five.

@GeorgieGirl, If you have time, go to http://www.ontariofishes.ca/home.htm Use the search function, and for Family select Cyprinidae. Then you can select the various minnows and there be a page that includes a photo and range data.

@JustJames, @WRB, 2018-2019 General California: 12-inch minimum size limit and a five-fish daily bag limit: All lakes and reservoirs in the State, and the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta. Certain counties/districts: certain lakes have their own regulations:
