Now this is my cup of tea. Great picture buddy. I agree that there is no fish pound for pound that compares with peacocks. I can tell you from experience, that a 20 lb fish will rip any other fish to threads in the same weight class... UrbanAngler, the closest fish I could compare them to would be stripers.

Absolute monster.

Now that is funny right there.

Agreed with Kent. It has taken me years to accumulate my tackle. Also this is my main hobby now. Use to be cars, but I'm over that. For now.

No worries guys. Working on the pairings.

Just got in boys. Long day. Pair ups will be done Tuesday and you will have a pm in your box by Tuesday night.

Oh and for the guys that change your screen names every day, can you hold off til this is over? Makes keeping track of everyone a bit more difficult. Thanks.

Very nice Gman!

Gosh, thanks - I'm sorta speechless on that! I'm really enjoying seeing all the modern stuff in this thread but to add a bit of a blast from the past I went out to the garage and took another photo. I got the Ted Williams 400 as a gift from my Dad probably around 1959 or 1960 - it was my only reel for about 6 years and caught a lot of fish. I fished it this year on a 60s vintage solid glass rod - caught two little bass and put it away 'till next year. (Those solid glass rods sure make you appreciate a modern graphite rod!) The Lido (what the heck is a Lido!) spincast reel I got for one book of SSS trading stamps. For a rod, I had found a 5.5' plastic handle casting rod laying on the bank on Alligator Alley in South Florida. I cut off the plastic handle, bought a metal ferrule for a couple bits, and then bought a new chucked handle for a buck or two. So, the whole rig cost me a book of trading stamps and about $2.50 cash. In the summer of 1967 (my last year living in FL) I was trolling a Rapala (or maybe a Rebel) down a canal off the Alley and caught a 4 3/4 lb largemouth...I remember it well..... I have it mounted now on a cheap BPS rod for use by my wife. Lotsa memories ! I 2nd that sentiment Goose. Love your tackle!

;D

lol. What a turd.

I use all my stuff. Scratches add character.

I did, thanks.

Is the coolest phone I've ever owned. Intuitive, good applications, and developed by my knucklehead pals at Google. I never switched to ATT for the IPhone, and glad I didnt. I hate ATT's coverage.

hmm. no thanks.

I see that picture and this is what comes to mind.

More like $1.5 million...

A trip to Italy with Gidget would make me very happy.

Avid, I need to check that out as well. I ordered the same subscription, from someone who posted the link here. >

Ended up finding a pair of Timberland Earthkeeper boots. 20% off. Merry Christmas to me.
