SPEEDBEAD.

Check out ***' 10" worm. The reason I recommend them (other than the price and Brent is a sponsor) is the fact that Gander Mountain and Brent get their Trick Sticks from the same place. Check the package, GM's stuff is called Trick Stick too but costs more than ***. I dont know if the 10" worms come from the same place or not, but send him a message or just try the new worms. I haven't been disappointed with any of Brent's product. Wayne

Congrats man, I am very proud of you. We all knew you could do it. Keep building up all those positives in life!!!!

Typically the pairings seem to have just fallen into place. From what I saw last year, most of the arrangements were made at the previous night's dinner. If you want someone in your boat, there will be people there. Hell, I probably can't teach you anything but I am more than willing to fish that place with anyone.

You should have seen last year at Guntersville. It was an every night thing. I know you were at the Fork trip (maybe both?), but I think it has gotten better since then (if you can imagine that LOL) Best advice is going to be staying as far away from where Burley is fishing. Fish size is relative to the amount of distance between his boat and yours.

If I know Jimzee and Pitchin' Kid, they will likely be down for whatever... 170k acres of water. Bound to find some fish SOMEWHERE. LOL

I promise you, the floating one will end up being more fun. They are gonna kill that thing...

Cart, I am open on Thursday. What do you think?

The thing is absolutely unreal in person. Mine has been in the bathroom sink more than once, just sitting there on its hooks perfectly balanced. Jimzee, I am thinking an "All swimbait day" may be in order....

Either one, depending on the application and situation. I havent used the Camo Spiderwire, but I do use the regular stealth. I also use the 100% FC. Just depends on what you are using it for.

Russ, in the first picture, did they have to tell you to be in the "short" line for the picture or did you fall in line there out of habit? ;D Nice pics.

So movie night at the lake in LBH's room wearing the fat clothes, doing nails and ordering out obscene amounts of takeout food is a big NO for you? Affirmative Boy George. While y'all are doing that, I'll be in AJ's camper huffing acetone and drinking white lightning while watching porn. No, I can assure you that will NOT be happening. I only huff gold paint fella...

Saw the video earlier today. Just plain scary. Those guys have my respect for being crazy enough to do that....

I had a similar question not too long ago. I ended up with the Nikon D40. From all the opinions I received, you wont be disappointed with Nikon. I have taken some pictures with it already, and it is a very sweet camera.

I agree with you 100%. Of the 9 hooks on a LC Slender Pointer, I wonder how many I could get to stick in him on one cast......

I called up Roland Martin and he suggested you try this. https://www.spindirect.com/product_register.php?productid=16432&s=rocketmaxcast&sessid=1ff4dfcd19772a8994b1a99399d65c32 Very little stress on your shoulder. ;D

I never trust a skinny chef...... So I gotta go with the fat Italian gentleman in the blue corner.

Thanks for all the advice. I just got back from Circuit City and walked out with the Nikon D40. Out the door for $370. Figured that would be a hard price to beat. Thanks again for all the help. Wayne

I think the only thing that concerns me about the D40 is the fact that it is only 6MP

I was looking at cameras today, 3 dSLR's in particular. Sony a200 Sony a300 w/ live view Nikon D40 Please give opinions, why's and why nots.... Thanks fellas. JFrancho, I expect to see you in here somewhere If you would like to know anything else, just let me know and I will try and answer as best I can.

Pike would be pretty cool too... kinda makes me wish I would of taken advantage of Lake Davis when they were in there. Although mostly small ones, I know they took some giants out when they killed the lake. Oh well :-/ Someone will put them back in there. It happened before

I guarantee you wouldnt think it was crazy if you saw one of those 40" devils behind your JR. They wont "always" bite you off. I have seen them with a 13" bait in their mouth, 3/0 trebles hanging everywhere and they open up and spit it. Never even hooked....their bite strength is scary. I can't even hold on to a bait without hooking myself. ;D

$200 baits?? I need your job! http://www.316lurecompany.com/baits/hardbaits.html Just saw one of these sold in under an hour for $360. I believe Jay has more than one....

Ye of little faith..... I am right there with ya. Nice idea though. Always good to keep thinking.

Thank you!!!! Now 4Bizz will quit complaining ;D No he wont!!! ;D

We were all waiting for it at my house. Never said I didnt think it deserved another look. Everyone was very surprised to see the Steelers kneeling to run out the clock w/o a review.
