That is a solid 7.

AHHHHHH! Great story RW, I'm sure that fish will remain on your mind til your final days.

Last year it was fishing related. I say we stick to the tradition.

Yup, I am in. Count Gidget in too.

Count me in. I organized it last year so we need to find someone who can do the honors this year. Make it a secret santa so you dont know who got you, until you receive your gift. I think last year we made it $30 maximum. Several people went over the maximum though.

This is good. I saw this post over at the car board I moderate. ;D

That looks really good! I especially like that new Z522...

Have you ever tried eating a peacock bass? They are delicious!

Ok this is what I really do... I own a finance company. We specialize in FHA financing for homes, commercial construction financing, hotel financing, and developments in other countries. I also represent a handful of private investors looking to place their money in projects. If I don't get them a 12% return, I turn away the project. As of today, I have a zero default history. I also am working on a tequila company project that should be coming to market fairly soon. I'm really excited about it!

The outfitter gave me the option. We could have gone if we wanted to, but the catch rate has been pathetic. Try less than 20 fish for the entire lodge, all week. :-[ That is just one of the reasons I like these guys so much and continue to use them. They are ethical and even though it is lost revenue for them now, they completely have earned my business year in and year out. The first year I was going to go down there the same thing happened. They gave me notice and we rescheduled, we had one of the best experiences I've had in my trips down there.

Okuma is a nice rod, but heavy. I prefer Dobyns' 795 Mike Long Swimbait rod. Lighter, balanced better, and paired with a Abu Revo Inshore, You're set. If you want more line capacity Try a Calcutta.

I sell wallets and cowboy boots made from extinct mastadon leather on Ebay.

Water levels are really high. > Going to change the trip to end of February.

Beautiful pictures!

The reel is definitely going to be replaced. :-X

Send a picture of a spider. ;D

buck tails, topwater prop baits, zara spooks and suspending minnow baits all work well on peacocks. Good luck!

I keep hitting play on this video over and over again. From what I was told this is a 17 lb striper taken at a local lake here in CA. The lure being used is a Lunker Punker. http://www.swimbaitcentral.com/

Just saw this thread post, after I took the pictures it went to the next guy. I will PM him and see what is going on.

I respectfully disagree, Micro. Entourage is a great show, and even though it was short lived, I thought Lucky Louie was hilarious!

First I've heard....I will find out and get back to you.

Regardless of how they smell, they just plain work.
