This is gonna sound wierd but "Congrats on your new bed"! Getting a new bed can be heaven. I was amazed at how much better I slept when we got a new one. And how much better I felt through the day.

Catch anything yesterday?

That's better than catching a big ole skunk. That's a nice looking perch.

I'm very dissapointed with the Classic coverage! They show yesterday's coverage twice this morning and throw in little updates here and there. Then they're showing todays coverage tonight at 10p. What is that???? I was all pumped to get up this morning have my coffee and watch today's action. Thanks a bunch ESPN. : So I'm not too keen on the Classic rules and all but will there be any controversy over Horton's double catch? When he got em in it didn't look like one was hooked in the mouth.

Amen to that. I'm with ya. Never kissed one and never will. Usually I'll just talk to em while I'm bringing em in. After that I'll unhook em, we'll sit down and talk a little more. Catch up on the family and all that. Maybe have some tea. lol Seriously I am a creature of habit so I always be sure to tell them thanks and that I'll see them soon. Somehow that makes me think I've got a better chance of catching them again.

Ben, that's terrible news. Thoughts and prayers go out. I hope your buddy Zack pulls through. They say when it rains it pours, and man can it ever. Hopefully this is the last of it.

Glen and mods, great idea. Now let's get back to talkin bout some Big Mouth Bass!

Hey Avid, thoughts a prayers are with ya my friend! Obviously I don't know exactly what you're going through but I can relate. I currently take medication for anxiety and depression. I agree whole heartedly about the medications. The adjustment period can flat out SUCK. Stay positive though and you'll find your way through it.

Nice post. Personally I try to stay away from political discussion when I'm on a forum or chatting. It's hard enough to dicsuss politics in person let alone over the internet.

Don't know about Yahoo. I always move my photos to photobucket and use them from there. Never had a problem with that.

But it's a $100 value for only $40. ;D

My fingers have been crossed for about a month already. Ha Ha. I think they're stuck. I'll have to pry em apart when we get there.

I've read some reports but haven't really noticed anybody mention water clarity. Anybody know what we can expect?

I don't know if I'd spend $25 for 45 minutes. I did get the KVD set from BPS and must say it is well worth the money. 3 discs for 10 bucs. Can't beat that. And is KVD to boot.

Pulled these guys up through the Ice. My buddy's first fish jigging through the ice. We went out at about 8a in search or Pike. This is all we got all day so needless to say the bite was slow. The first LM we got within about an hour. We fished for about 6 hrs. and decided to call it a day. As we were walking around to the tip ups a flag goes up. We get to it and the line is screamin'. My buddy says grab it, it's a pike. I pull up the tip up and give it some slack. Pull till I feel a little tension then give a nice tug to set the hook then nothing. I get it all the way to the whole before I feel tension again. I say it's not a Pike but a decent fish. The next thing I see is this big ol mouth. Pull it out and it's a decent Largemouth. Nice way to end the day.

If you can some leeches, I've never used them personally but always see people using them. Fish em slow and just off the bottom.

Very tragic indeed. Thoughts and Prayers to you, his friends and family.

Welcome aboard and welcome back to fishing! I just got back into it this past summer myself and I'm so glad I did.

Nice job guys. Very nice lookin fish.

Hopefully everyone will end up with a hawg before the weeks out. Because of the level of fun and excitement this trip is promising I won't be dissapointed if I don't catch a hawg. However I will be trying and it won't bother me if I do.

Didn't keep one last summer but probably gonna set one up myself on excel and/or word. Probably use the one here on BR as a starting point.

Bighead, Welcome Aboard and thanks for the tips! Hope to see you at Fork.

You guys are pulling all kinds of fish. Nice job!

Know here's a girl with her head on staight. Good for you young lady! Count me in.
