Dan:

I wouldn't think they stocked those local lakes but I'm sure the bass are spawning there naturally. It's a shame but as long as there aren't too many people taking the fish it shouldn't kill off the population.

so it's a redbull advertisement? Seems stupid for redbull to pull a stunt like that.

Reminds me of a guy we used to see at the WalMart at school. He was a native american guy who dressed in cowboy outfits that were completely decked out with turquoise. Jewelry, hat, shirt, belt buckle, everything had turquoise in it. We used to call him the Turquoise Cowboy. He drove a Geo Tracker with a desert scene airbrushed on the side and steer horns mounted on the front bumper.

both games were a lot closer than everyone thought they would be. I think the close scores show that there will be a lot more parity in the NFL this year.

great fish!

blues brothers? Yes, and since you didn't supply a new quote, I will for the sake of continuity. "Don't you know I've had diarrheas since Easters?"

The game is in Oakland. It started at 7:15 local time. Plus, this way they can show each game without overlap.

wow, the Pats were darn lucky to win that one...(assuming they keep the Bills from scoring again in the last 50 seconds)

Looking for a split grip rod, eh?? Good luck Muddy. It's going to be hard to find someone who has tried both of these items because they are so new.

agreed. and yeah, I knew it was going to be this video when I clicked on the thread.

what is the lure weight rating that is written on the rod? How much does the bait weigh? There is your answer. I would guess that the bait would exceed the rod's rating by too much. I believe it weighs 2.6oz without any of the weights in it. I would throw it on at least 17lb mono. Spool the whole reel with it, not just a leader.

what was his excuse at the European award show several years ago when he lost and got up on stage and said that the award show lost credibility because they didn't give him an award?

This isn't even the first time he's done something like this....I'm surprised the guy's giant ego could even fit into the theater.

That was exactly my experience when I worked at Dick's. I was the freshwater fishing guy, we had a saltwater guy, and then we had a gun guy. If we all worked at the same time it was fine but they never scheduled more than two people to work the lodge at the same time and when they did it was usually only an overlap of about 2 hours between shifts.

I would add Kistler's Magnesium and Argon series, St Croix Avid, Dobyns, and the Daiwa Zillions to that list. They are all at or below the price range of the Cumara. If you want light, check out the Zillions. Seriously.

I think it's great when FCS teams beat FBS teams. They usually get paid a lot of money because the FBS teams think they will be easy wins to get them to bowl games. It's great when they get a loss on their record AND lose that money! I dislike FBS teams that schedule FCS teams for easy wins. I think it's really lame. I've noticed a lot of the Big12 teams do that (although a lot of teams from other conferences do it as well). I think Texas Tech scheduled TWO FCS teams last year...

CAA was better last year as well as shown by the playoff selections and results. But yeah, I can understand the argument for the SoCon all time. What I have been trying to argue is that right now (last year and this year--wait and see) the CAA is the strongest conference as far as average team quality. and 1inStripes, you're right, but it's still a FBS team from an "OK" conference. Anytime a FCS team beats an FBS team it is big, regardless of how highly ranked the FBS team is.

Referring to the playoffs last year is just because there is not enough to refer to from this season yet. That is different than applying championships earned years ago to current teams. And you are so insistent on the importance of national championships. Well the most recent NC is Richmond so therefore the CAA is the best. That is your logic, not mine. Let's settle this with a bet. If a SoCon team wins the NC I will send you $20 worth of tackle. If a CAA team wins, you send me $20 worth of tackle? If a team from neither conference wins then we both throw $20 worth of tackle into the lake ;D

Being good "right now" is EVERYTHING! I don't care how good ASU was years ago! Right now they are 0-2 and the CAA is home to the defending champion and has the most highly ranked teams. I'm not saying we are competitive within the conference. Nonconference games have shown that CAA teams will beat most teams from EVERY conference, including yours (as evidenced by multiple games against ASU and Wofford). Two CAA teams beat ASU last year and one of them became the champion. Equally average=better than ASU last year? As far as concentration of good teams, the CAA is unarguable the best. oh, and being a "competitive conference" does get you something...like 4 of the 8 at-large selections to go to the playoffs last year.. There are 8 conferences to chose 8 at-large selections from and HALF of those teams were taken from THE CAA!! 5 of the 16 teams in the playoffs were from the CAA. 4 of the final 8 teams were from the CAA. Two of the final four teams were from the CAA. The champion was a CAA team. Only losers brag about the past because they don't currently have anything worthy of bragging about.

what is this "Boca" you speak of?

since when was ASU even ranked #1? I'm glad they got beat by a FCS team. It makes the road for my team even easier. What about Michigan over ND? That was a pretty good upset. The USC-OSU game was a LOT closer than I thought it was going to be.

No,no,no you can't join the trash talk until your team wins a game! an 0-2 team doesn't get to trash talk yet! JMU got $300k for playing Maryland also. In ASU's defense, that was a good comeback against ECU and I wish they would have won. I'm not talking about the past. I'm talking about right now. The CAA is a more competitive conference. You cannot argue that. The Southern may have more championships (most are from Georgia Southern from years and years ago) but in the past few years the CAA has a higher number of quality teams. Last year ASU would have finished 3rd or 4th in the CAA and the rest of the Southern would have finished 8th and below. If the last game is the only one to count then the CAA is still better right now. We have the defending champion.

davis, you can't post in this thread until App State wins. ;D
