If I remember correctly even the Senko isn't patented, which is why Mr. Yammamoto had no issues with Do-It molds making a Senko mold for us to buy. Now his recipe for making that worm feel the way it feels and do what it does and have the sink rate, that's a secret he's not giving away. It's been replicated but to my knowledge never duplicated, or if it has no one will tell.

There must be some pretty big projected profit sharing with the BPT. That would be hard to turn down.

It is a lot of fun. We took him to get his costume earlier in the day then carved pumpkins in the evening. Christmas is fun too because he still believes, we know with him being in second grade already this could be his last year believing. As far as the Army chair goes I forgot to ask my neighbor about it. He was in the Marienes so where the Army chair came from I don't know. LOL

Tis the season! We had a pumpkin carving party at the neighbors house, complete with freshly made cider and doughnuts from our local orchard. Oh yeah and pumpkins from the patch. Fall is here and I'm liking it!

That is one beautiful marble eye right there!

He pretty much does what he wants. He's my buddy so I let it slide.

Black Friday usually has some sales, however I don't know if the Solix will be on sale since it's only a year old (I believe). Also check with online stores like BBG marine and the GPS Store for way better deals than any big box store. You'll be surprised.

After a few pairs of Oakley's over the years and recently Strike King I decided to try KastKing. Best $18 I've ever spent. I would say that if they were $100. They are lightweight and very comfortable. I work outside all day everyday so I need to protect my eyes even on cloudy days and they don't leave my nose or ears sore like other brands from the past. They com with a micro fiber cloth, a semi hard case, and straps so you don't lose them. For $18 I'd suggest anyone try them, you'll be presently surprised!?

I'm not sure how your treatment is but mine was extremely aggressive that required me to be in the hospital for treatment a week at a time then two weeks out and did that for six months. All my hair was gone after my first treatment. My tastebuds were shot! Everything tasted sweet, it was horrible! I pretty much made myself eat bland food so I wasn't disappointed if I ate good food and it tasted sweet to me.

Good news! The insurance part sucks but it'll get worked out one way or another. I remember my last treatment, when my broviac was removed, and when my taste buds finally came back! You'll enjoy life like you never have before. ?

^^^^^^?

Did we all miss something? What's the BPT? Haven't heard anything recently about anything related to professional bass fishing....?

That makes no sense. You do realize Johnny Morris sponsors all 3 tours right? Who is 2 of Mark Zona's biggest sponsors? I have his book and read it 3 times. It's a pretty good book that gives fishing tips, his journey from his first bass he caught, how sponsorships work, to some of the sides of professional bass fishing most of us don't see.

They already said it's still going to be every scorable fish.

They switched it to one pound and bigger. There's no minimum size limit anymore.

Pretty funny that Ike runs his show 5 hours last night and at the very end acts as if he's making his announcement and then cuts out (so I've been told) then announces it on FB just a little bit ago. Ole Ike putting his marketing degree to work. Love him or hate him he can flat out fish, has credentials that no other angler has, is good for fishing and the fans, and is a great marketing mind. ?

The 5 fish limit isn't going away there is still the Elite series and FLW. I agree 100%. I don't watch too many YouTube videos that some of the pros have so to see an episode of several breaking down a lake and getting inside the minds of some of these guys would be priceless in my mind. Great idea!

Feider could very well cash multiple checks a year. He's a self proclaimed "smallmouth head" but he's been up there on some large mouth events too. Steve Kennedy is another who could benefit from everyone leaving.

He'll announce tonight on Ike Live. A part of me wonders if he might retire? He has his new show coming out in 2 weeks, that obviously wouldn't make him rich by any means but he also has Fishing University and his podcast. He has talked about retiring in the past year or two. I really don't see it happening but maybe.

My wife and my dad will watch MLF from time to time, but would rather claw their eye's out watching any other fishing. Everyone behind MLF/BPT are smart, they realize things will have to be tweaked here and there in order for this to be viable say 5-10 plus years down the road. As far as the guys making the just are they superstars? For a portion of us on this site absolutely a majority are and almost all are recognizable. Outside of here not so much. My wife can name about 4, my neighbor knows who KVD is and that's about it. It's looking like BPT it here to stay.

I was scratching my head at that one too.

So that makes 77 right now. Who are the last three? Ish, Ike, and MDJ? Hunter Shryock is left out, which is understandable.

Brandon Paulnuik to BPT! Apparently my page didn't refresh so I see I'm about 50 minutes late to the party. I'm throwing in the towel and going to bed! ?

I'm not and FLW so I don't know any of the names except for Scott Martin and a couple others who were on MLF but I guess a couple big FLW names jumped to MLF. Andy Morgan being one.

Not everyone on that list are making a great living. Yes there are a lot of big names but not all of them are making big money.
