I'm stunned. Oh well it was still a good laugh.

Awesome fish. Love that first pic with the sun in the back and all the rods lined up on the deck.

Very nice lookin fish. You can definately tell she's the same fish. Very cool.

Don't feel too bad for me. I've a BPS opening about an hr and half to the east and a Cabelas opening about an hr to the south. ;D

Hey, at least you were able to get out and enjoy the weather. It's bad when even the pickeral have lockjaw. I'm feelin ya though. I was out last weekend and ended up with the same results. It still early though.

I thought about that but I have the same problems on my home and work computer. And for the most part I don't have problems with other sites. It's weird, I talk to some people that have problems and some don't. Maybe it's just a coincidence between the 2 PCs.

So what happens when you get their catalog in the mail for internet sales only and can't get on their webpage? : I got a BPS gift card about a week ago and have been trying to get on their website to browse and so far for the last 3 days haven't been able to. The only way I've been able to get to their main page is through a search engine. Then from there it's nothing. Very frustrating. I'd love to support them and I do have a Master Catalog at home (which I just got last month) but I prefer to shop online. My patience is wearing thing. Might be Cabelas gift cards from now on. :-/

That's a really nice fish! You can tell in the last pic how big the head is compared to the rest of the body. It almost looks deformed. Hope you're having some nice cigars after catching all these nice fish.

That's a great fish! Anytime I see your pics I can't help but notice the background. You have some great scenery around.

Sounds like you had a great time. Can't wait to see the pics.

Nice job. That's a beautiful fish!

Nice start.

Yes please.

Happy Birthday Nathan. And Muddy's daughter as well. Make them good ones!

I'll be praying for you and you're family. Keep us posted.

All safe here in MA. We dodged the snow. Everything turned to rain in the afternoon and washed away the snow. I don't know which is worse though 10 inches of snow or 4 inches of water. : If theres any truth to the saying good things come to those who wait we should all catch about 3 or 4 double digit bass this summer. lol Stay safe all.

That's awesome. James Cotton is a living legend. That's a real treat to get the opportunity to see something like that.

I'm with ya there muddy. If I'm out with people smoking I'll hold off a while to light up because I love the way they smell.

Wow!! Not much to say other than a huge congrats on getting her in the boat and that's a beautiful fish! Is this your PB? How does it stack up to the state record? Sorry I had to say it. ;D Seriously though great job. If I caught a fish that big I'd probably be shaking so bad I'd end up dropping it back in the water. lol

Very nice lookin fish. Haven't had a lot of luck with a chatterbait. Looks like I may have to pull it out of hibernation. lol

Mabye Gary Yamamoto should add chicken hotdog as one of his senko colors. ;D

Nice job! Kudos to braving the weather. That's more than I'm catching right now.

;D ;D

If I was single and didn't want to have kids and was good enough I would probably give it a shot. The thing about fishing for me is no matter how much stress and worries I have going on, once I'm on the water I'm completely relaxed and nothing can bother me. Granted I don't fish to make a living but I would like to think that it would be the same for me if I was a pro. If I could fish good enough to be a pro I would like to think the secret to my success would be to just go out and have fun at it. Personally I think that's where some guys go wrong. They get out on the water and in the back of they're head they have the stress and worry of trying to make a living and they try to force good fishing. I think some would have more success if they just went out and fished like they used to before they were doing it for money.

Welcome Aboard!
