I surely will!! Where's it going to be at? Nice job on this last tournament!

Awesome!! Does that mean you won a new boat????

I was thinking about this today. I try not to yank on mine too hard - it's not young in age.

I am thinking he is way past his break-in period Edit: Sorry - I commented before I finished reading the thread

That is EXACTLY how if feel too Catt

What are the dimensions of your garage? Any chance it will go in at an angle - fitting diagonally? That is what I did with my 18' Ranger...I needed 23' of space. My garage was only 18' deep.

Also glad you are okay - was wondering how you were doing with the flooding up there. Good to hear another good report.

Stay safe Mike. My thoughts are with you bud. It's fixing to get hairy for you - at least it slowed down a bit over Cuba. Hang in there bud, hope you and your family endure little hardships and heartache during this beast.

Good stuff. I can respect and appreciate that.

Exactly what I do.

The maintenance voltage on my Battery Tenders are 13.1 across the board. They charge at 13.6

I guess it is just the way I was taught and what you see some of the pros (the ones I follow) do; Hunter Shryock is one example. If you have a fish hooked up and he has momentum swimming towards the boat - it's much easier for me to use that momentum to get them into the boat. If not, I just use the net.

I use the Trokar mainly for my flipping hooks. They are a little too beefy for my worm applications.

I am pretty sure I have some of the superline hooks - but I'm going to go through my order history at Tacklewarhouse to be sure. I think I will order some of the Owner wide gap and try them. Thanks a ton guys.

The Lunker City Texposers is what I've been using most recently. http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Lunker_City_Texposer_Worm_Hook_5pk/descpage-LCTEXPO.html

I am having issues finding a wide gap hook that does not bend out. I have tried multiple brands now (Gamakatsu, Mustad, Lunker City Texposers...) and they all end up bending out. Granted, I am probably a little more tough on equipment than most people...especially here in the thick stuff in Florida. It's nothing for me boat flip a 4 lber. But I can't help to think there is a brand out there that will be tough enough for this stuff. What are you all using? Does anyone else struggle with this?

Always when the big motor is on!

All of this talk makes me want to go fishin!'!

Great, great post - and thanks for sharing. I knew you were divulging some absolutely amazing information. Thanks again.

I'm so jealous lol

Glad to have helped

And I guarantee you it will do the job sufficiently. I actually have 3 (1 for each battery - 2 deep cycle and my Cranking battery). I opted for this route as opposed to an $400 3 bank onboard chager.

The Amps statement I can not speak on - because I am not very educated in electrical terminology. What the product that I linked does have, that does agree with Way2slow is: Smart Microcontroller Our onboard computer assures correct level of power is sent to the battery at all times. ISM Adaptive Charging ISM (Infinite Sequential Monitoring) adapts to the battery’s needs hundreds of times per second. Connect and Forget It Once connected, the Battery Tender manages your battery’s health on it’s own. Based on this statement - I was trying to help you make a sound economical decision - and not damage your batteries at the same time...by suggesting a known working product (has been charging my deep cycle batteries going on 3 years)
