  1. Yea, but you had to go and move to semanhole territory.
  2. Early morning= topwater= Zara Spook Puppy That' what I'll be throwing first thing in the mornin tomorrow for my tourny.
  3. You're missing out on a lot of bass if you're not using jigs here in S. Florida.
  4. I would love to make a reply but I don't want to get banned from BR.
  5. I don't understand how Conan ever landed this job. His audience would be complete silence if it wasn't for the teleprompter telling them to clap and laugh. You can't go wrong with Seinfield IMO. I've been watching the 1/2 hour episodes of Alfred Hitchcock lately. I can't get the theme song out of my head. He comes on at midnight here in S.Florida
  6. I too had high hopes of making this reel one of my favorites but started having 2nd thoughts after my problem with it and reading about others who had similar probs. I now have it on my Loomis GLX MBR 842C (7') with #10 mono and it is the lightest combo in my arsenal. I don't think you can get much lighter. I want to buy another but I can't pull the trigger considering the problems. If this one works out fine then maybe I will splurge.
  7. I would say between $75 - $100, depending on the how hard your guide works to put you on fish. If your guide is good and goes out of his way to help you out then pay him good if you plan on returning someday to fish with him. He WILL remember your tip and don't be surprised if he puts your name and tip amount in his diary. If you tip him good, I almost guarantee he will take you places he doesn't take the cheap skate to. Does the guide own the guide service or is working for someone else? If he doesn't own the company then chances are that your tip is all he will make from the trip. I use a guide when I go to the Tortugas and we tip him very good. Been using him for years and I know for a fact he takes us places that he doesn't take the average customer to.
  8. It was new but not spit shine clean.
  9. I call mine the "lake' and "pond"
  10. A few of us on here have had issues with the Revo Premier making a bad squeaking noise whenever you cast it. I've had this problem with 2 of the premiers. The first I sent back to Cabela's for an exchange but the replacement made the same noise. I sent the second one to Abu for repairs. Abu replaced the Pinion Stub Shaft and DN/pra (whatever that means). The reel seems to work flawlessly now but I only made about 30 casts with it. Abu's service wasn't too bad. I had the reel back in my possession within a week of them receiving it. I think they could have at least cleaned/serviced it though since I was twice inconvenienced.
  11. I'm a pimp.
  12. This year, taxpayers will receive an Economic Stimulus Payment. This is a very exciting new program that I will explain using the Q and A format: "Q. What is an Economic Stimulus Payment? " A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers. "Q. Where will the government get this money? " A. From taxpayers. "Q. So the government is giving me back m y own money? " A. Only a smidgen. "Q. What is the purpose of this payment? " A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy. "Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China? " A. Shut up. Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the US economy by spending your stimulus check wisely: If you spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China. If you spend it on gasoline, it will go to the Arabs. If you purchase a computer, it will go to India. If you purchase fruit and vegetables, it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala (unless you buy organic). If you buy a car, it will go to Japan. If you purchase useless crap, it will go to Taiwan. And none of it will help the American economy. We need to keep that money here in America. You can keep the money in America by spending it at yard sales, going to a baseball game, or spend it on prostitutes, beer (domestic ONLY), or tattoos, since those are the only businesses still in the US.
  13. Saltwater fish that are common to living around bridges in Florida. 1. Snook 2. Tarpon 3. Jewfish 4. Occasional shark, depending how far from the inlet you are. 5. Catfish. 6. Moray eel Could of been a Tarpon but I doubt it because it didn't jump. I would almost bet a Snook but chances are it would have sliced though your line with it's gills after fighting it an hour and half. Snook LOVE lady fish. Eel? Very possible. especially if it just sat there like you were snagged. Try this. Find a heavier rod and reel. Use straight 60 pound mono. Tie on a 6/0 short shank live bait hook. Catch a Ladyfish from 12-18 inches. Hook live Ladyfish onto 6/0 hook. Cast her next to shadow of bridge or pylon and wait for the strike.
  14. I thought that was absolutely amazing.
  15. Why are you disturbed? That's a personal question.
  16. Thanks Jimzee, I will try the bleach. I will have yall know it is a blistering 58 degrees. Which may not be cold to most but is for me when I'm in short and flip flops playing in the garden hose.
  17. Each towel has enough laundry detergent in it to do about 3 loads. So unless I wash each towel by itself I will over flow my washer with suds. I went outside and spent 45 minutes in the frickin cold front wearing short and flip flops to clean the towels with the hose. The wife sticks her head out the garage door and says "honey, are you ok? Is it cold out here?" I said "no honey, I'm fine." But in my mind I was saying "You stupid, fricking idiot. Am I cold? No, I'm just freezing my pebbles off?"
  18. My wife came home from doing her weekly grocery shopping and had bought a 72 load size of liquid Tide laundry detergent. She goes into the laundry room and starts a load of laundry. She goes into the bedroom, leaving the laundry room door open AND the lid to the detergent. My 11 month son crawls into the laundry room and tips the jug of detergent over. The wife sees him and proceeds to me out for not watching him. Never mind the fact that she can't seem to tighten the lid on anything she opens. Including the Crangrape juice but that's a different story. I rush to the rescue and there is my son trying to crawl out of the mess but isn't going anywhere. Every time he would move, his knees and hands would slip out from under him. The poor kid was in tears and I was . The wife was cursing me, the kid was crying and I was laughing, making matters worse. I pick the kid up and now we both are covered in liquid Tide. Into the shower we go, fully clothed. The kid has never been in the shower before, he bathes in a big tub on top of the sink, so he begins freaking out which causes the wife to at me more. I manage to get both of us undressed while holding onto his slippery little body but by now the tub is FULL of suds. We get all clean and the wife puts the kid to sleep. Now the fun part. How in the HECK do you clean up all this detergent? I used every towel and rag I could find. The floor is dry but if you put a drop of water on it then it activates the Tide and it's slip-n-slide time. I'm going on 4 hours trying to clean this crud up but I'm just making a bigger mess. Now there is detergent marks throughout the house because no one can stay the away while I clean so they track it everywhere. Enjoy the Pic's. Sorry I don't have any of the kid while he was sitting in the MIDDLE of the puddle but the wife started me when I went looking for the camera. This is a shot of the little F"er who doesn't seem to quite understand the mess he made.
  19. I experimented with it for about a year on my B/C's. It fished ok but the knots would become brittle. I didn't notice any influx in the amount of hits v.s mono or Yozuri
  20. Neve heard of it. What is it?
  21. LMAO. 2 hours later and I'm I'm still LMAO.
  22. LOL, great moments Jason. I have a feeling though you helped sink his hands into that cake. Adan will have his turn on the 17th this month.
  23. "I wake up in the mornin' and smell excellence" -Ricky Bobby
  24. "I'm your huckleberry" is a term used to let someone know you wanted to dance with them. By Doc Holiday telling Ringo he was his huckleberry was his way of saying "let's dance" or "let's get it on."
  25. Outlaw Jose Wales "Well, you gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie?" John Wayne "That'll be the day." I don't know who said it but "I'm just a squirrel trying to get a nut." One I made up, as far as i know. "Boy, you be better blink or get them eyeballs off of me." And all the quotes Firfightin15 said.
