Long Mike

The boater/non boater thing happens because I make it my responsibility to ensure that all boaters are paired up with non boaters every day. The Registration Form provides me with valuable information on the number of empty seats available and the butts that need to fill them. Also, it provides me with information on who needs roommates. Those are just a couple of reasons why I'm such an a-hole about you folks sending the forms in. I need them to do my job for the benefit of all of you.

Attaboy RW!

That's great Mike! Looking forward to seeing to seeing you again!

WMD, are you going to be able to make the road trip this year? Rhino and I need another old fart along to help keep the kids in line.

Welcome, to our forums. At your age I would suggest you ask your parents. They are not nearly as dumb as you think they are.

Asparagus.

Hey scrutch, go ahead and send your form in. I will need a separate form from your buddy. It's important that I have a signed Release of Liability from all attendees.

Norcalbasssin and scrutch. unless you are REAL picky about your rods and reels, there should be enough to go around. Hop on a plane and join us, Tell us ahead of time what lures you are comfortable using and we will make sure they are available, but be reasonable. Very few of us are rich. A reminder to all. This is just a fishing trip, not a tournament.

stonezp, your eyes may shine and your teeth may glitter,bull don't bullshift an old bullshifter!

There are unconfirmed rumors that prizes will be awarded for such things as largest bass, small bass, and ugliest roommate. The last one I will win, hands down. I'm rooming with RW.

I agree. Burke.

Looks like we need to import a few thousand Japanese to rebuild N.O. It's obvious that no one else is willing to do it.

Marty, Don Barone is a professional sports writer. That good-ol-boy grammar is one of his "trademarks."

Kyle, hope you get to feeling better soon.

Gosh, Gary that really warmed my heart.

A hearty Welcome from Tulsa!

I'll have to disagree with you. In certain geographic areas one excels over the other. Incidentally, it's "they are GREAT" or "they're GREAT."

Welcome to Bass Resource! If you want to catch big bass don't go to Maine. Go to Texas or Florida

I use a line counter every time I spool up a reel. I'm too cheap to leave an unusable length of line on the feeder spool.

It's obvious that you guys don't know that RW has a major problem with flatulence.

To those of you who replied that stupid people grind your gears, please give them a little slack. Stupid is permanent. On the other hand, ignorance can be cured.

Sorry folks, can't help. It's a twelve hour drive for me and I can't leave home until Saturday AM. Sunday is reserved for Ghoti and Mary, because they can stay only a short few days. For the rest of the duration of the trip I can fish with two non-boaters. One day is reserved for Glenn and Keri. They will let me know what day. I had such a blast with those two last year that I insist on doing it again this year. I laughed so hard I thought my face was going to crack. RW, PM sent.

Those of you who have been around these forums for a while know what grinds my gears. Here's a short list. Teen texters. They are butchering the English language, and I fear for the long term consequences. They log on to these forums with their "cute" shorthand posts and expect to be considered seriously. Not by me. Those who use to, instead of too. Anyone who has a fifth grade education should know the difference. Those who use your instead of you're. Same reason as above. Yes, I am the resident OLD Fart Moderator of the forums. Feel free to ignore my rantings, but now you know what grinds this old man's gears. Please be advised that I do not speak for Glenn or the other Mods. It's just me, with grinding gears.

In my part of the country the girls that are in spawn usually have a red light turned on.

5% for me. One of the few things left on my bucket list is a 10#+ LMB.
