Football is over for me when the Canes lose their first game.

It's about time you made a post with you catching a fish ;D. Good job with the video.

Slow down little boy, Don't forget the matching wallet for the purse. Coach wallets cost as much as the purses.

I'm going to sound dumb but I'm not sure what strip pits are. I do however fish a rock pit all the time. The deepest I found was 80'. The edges drop from 1' down to 20' almost instantly in some places. I can be 15 feet from shore and be fishing in 30' of water. The visibility is sometimes 20'. There are loads of concrete slabs and rocks along the edges and some submerged down 15-20'. The deepest I caught fish was about 45' down on a jig. I haven't really tried much deeper. The bass in this 75 acre pond hit just about every color worm from 6 inches to 12 inches. My biggest is 9.13 pounds. Topwater produces very well also as well as crank baits. I know I'm rambling on but I've been up 40 hours and am about to fall asleep. The fish in this pond are very aggressive so it's not very difficult to fish but catching the big ones can pose a little challenge. There are only 3 of us that fish this pond over the past several years so there is darn near no pressure which I believe is what makes the fishing somewhat easy. This pond goes against all "rules" of color selection. For example; I have caught as many as 100 bass in 6 hours with 17 pound mono (not fluorocarbon) and also on braid, even though the visibility is gin clear. I have used black worms and light colored worms and caught just as many bass. I fish other lakes where you HAVE to use smaller diameter line or Fluoro (if you plan on being productive) where the visibility is only 3-4 feet with 10-15 feet max depth. Basically go out there and experiment until the fish dictate what they want. This may take several trips. If your water is deep and clear (8 plus feet visibility) I would start with 8-10 pound mono, the smallest worm weight possible and a 6 inch light colored worm. If that works well then I would start experimenting with heavier line and bigger baits to see if the fish will react to it or if they back off. The rule of thumb is dark water and overcast then use dark colors, clear water and bright days use lighter colors, however this has no bearing in the pit I fish. Most importantly though you're going to want to find and fish structure, humps, bumps, ledges and so forth versus open, deep water with flat bottom and no structure. Here are a few pic's of my pit.

I hope you crush'em good and collect a big fat check.

Yea, well I never told you about it because it never happened.

Tarpon are a blast. Did I ever tell you about the 177 pound Tarpon I caught off the inlet on 12 pound spinning gear?

How come the trees weren't even bending or uprooted but the train was blown away?

I use a fine point Sharpe to write the depth on the bill or belly. But sometimes the ink comes off and I can't remember how deep they dive. How do yall remember the depths of your cranks?

Where have you been, under a rock? TW has always come through for me on the shipping. May you and your Flappin' Hawgs tear'em up.

I turn the t.v to the t.v guide channel and 3/4 of the screen is all MJ. This has been going on 24/7 since his death. Give it a rest already.

No spots here but good luck bro. You're gonna sweat your ars off.

How can you work with this guy and not notice his lack of manners? I would have provided for too since we were already at the lake but he wouldn't be using my tungstens or good hooks. He would have been using my back up lead weights and off color worms. Then I would have been poking smart asss remarks at him all day, like "dude, i cant believe you forgot your own tackle" or "do you need help tying your hook on?" Actually, knowing me, I probably would have turned around and went back home after he borrowed money for a lighter. He definitely would never sit in my boat again.

never saw it...did you post it here? Yea. He was smoking a doobie.

Hey, my makeover of the P'seed got deleted :'(. (no explanation need. I know why )

Dude, do you pluck your eyebrows?

No offense Bassn but In my opinion this is a very inaccurate statement. From what I've read on this site their are many members on the board ( me included ) who use Yo-zuri Ultrasoft. I cannot comment directly on 12lb for spinning as I don't use that high of a lb test so that could be a source of difference for the statement. In my opinion lb test vs diameter has become somewhat of a joke for advertising. Yo-zuri's breaking spec's are quite a bit higher than the lb test they advertise so use that for a comparison when deciding lb strength and diameter. I use mainly 6 & 8# test & some 4. I love the stuff and at its price point rates very high in my book. One of the moderators posts about Yo-zuri ( smaller lb test I believe ) and he has some impressive smallmouth in his hands in his avatar. Do a search on Yo-zuri its had lots of discussion pro and con but I've seen many a post about liking it. If you don't find something right away inn the search keep trying as it has something to be desired as search tools go. No offense is taken here but look at the smiley face. See him wink? That means I'm joking. I was more less bustin on RoadWarrior who sleeps with a spool under his pillow.

This is the first time I saw someone stutter on the computer.. ;D

i am under the impression that chaos isnt currently making rods for anyone...? Chaos rods aren't bad but they cater to saltwater. I have a one left out of two that I bought from them. I build much better rods than they do(when I was building).

I'm learning the theory of "eating ice cream w/out getting fat" in my living room.

Those two look bigger than 4 pounds. Did you get them on the wake bait?

This week should be good for night fishing, if you go by the moon phases. I plan on hittin the water all week long.

Nice Smackdown Russ. It's a good thing they didn't weigh more than a couple pounds ;D

What is the $50 BR registration for?

You don't need to waste your money on the fluorocarbon. Pretty much any name brand #4 mono will be fine.
