when I got home and down loaded my catch today. I didn't have but four fish but the one in the peace of picture weighed 11.2 This is a very big fish for eastern NC. Well I know where he lives now.

The Bank and my Wife!!! I knew years ago if I wanted to continue the way I fished I had to start winning. So I started practicing as often as I could and always made mental notes of what works and what doesn't. The one most important thing I have learned is presentation. It doesn't make any difference about the temp, water clarity, weather or where you are fishing. If you present it right he will bite.

Burley for club President!!!

Sorry to here that Ronnie, I was looking forward to using it. I am also glad you have another to continue the quest. Thanks Ronnie

2X I'm a big boy now.

Glenn that is a great Bio and Info. You have flat done you home work and doing your home work usually turns into a job well done.

Uncle Henry, $19.95 you can cut, saw, hammer, break one of the three blades off and use for screw driver, will still cut your finger off when dull, comes in handy to throw at the dogs when they are chasing the cat, once you retrieve it you can peel apples, skin squirrels, roast hot dogs, clean fish, open cans, clean your finger nails, open mail just to name a few. If you break it just send it back and pay shipping and they will send you another.

Yep thats what it is. All of them do it and especially the Ford. I have two fairly new Fords and both of their rims look like crap in two weeks if I don't clean them.

Why I asked this question is in the state of NC it is against the law to have a loaded firearm at all Wildlife Ramps ( Boat Ramps ) I carry a P85 Ruger with me in my vehicle and put it in the boat when I get in. I was at the ramp the other day and had the gun in my hand walking to my boat, when a Wildlife officer came up and asked if the gun was loaded. I told him that I didn't have one in the chamber and he said OK and went on his way. So I was just curious about it.

Nothing, just like picking. I know if I pick long enough you will come back with something. ;D [/quote But why would you want my boogers on your fingers? I like to thump. ;D

When is a gun considered loaded ? If you have the magazine full and none in the chamber is it loaded ? Must be getting bored. :

Welcome back Muddy!!! I want to be the first to tell you that Burley has been using your bounces. I warned him that there could be repercussion. ;D

Every now and then I will get an e-mail stating that if you receive a e-mail say from Joe Blow not to open it and to delete it. It will say it contains a virus. Question: how do you delete a e-mail without opening it ? If you click on it to delete it's going to open. This is about as strange as Burley coming up with Tim Duncan. ;D

Welcome Back!!! Looks like you had a lot going on.

Top water bait. Am I wright!!!

Didn't see that coming, I thought he was going to use a rod. ;D

Hey fish there ain't nothing to it, the night before is the best. ;D All jokes aside, be sure to get one it can save your life.

Put my sign on the shop this morning and headed to the river to try my Extrem gloves out. They worked great!! Don't pay no mind to me in the picture, it was the gloves. ;D Any guesses on the weight?

... I called my friend Andy Sable, a gastroenterologist, to make an appointment for a colonoscopy. A few days later, in his office, Andy showed me a color diagram of the colon, a lengthy organ that appears to go all over the place, at one point passing briefly through Minneapolis . Then Andy explained the colonoscopy procedure to me in a thorough, reassuring and patient manner. I nodded thoughtfully, but I didn't really hear anything he said, because my brain was shrieking, quote, 'HE'S GOING TO STICK A TUBE 17,000 FEET UP YOUR BEHIND!' I left Andy's office with some written instructions, and a prescription for a product called 'MoviPrep,' which comes in a box large enough to hold a microwave oven. I will discuss MoviPrep in detail later; for now suffice it to say that we must never allow it to fall into the hands of America's enemies. I spent the next several days productively sitting around being nervous. Then, on the day before my colonoscopy, I began my preparation. In accordance with my instructions, I didn't eat any solid food that day; all I had was chicken broth, which is basically water, only with less flavor. Then, in the evening, I took the MoviPrep. You mix two packets of powder together in a one-liter plastic jug, then you fill it with lukewarm water. (For those unfamiliar with the metric system, a liter is about 32 gallons.) Then you have to drink the whole jug. This takes about an hour, because MoviPrep tastes - and here I am being kind - like a mixture of goat spit and urinal cleanser, with just a hint of lemon. The instructions for MoviPrep, clearly written by somebody with a great sense of humor, state that after you drink it, 'a loose watery bowel movement may result.' This is kind of like saying that after you jump off your roof, you may experience contact with the ground. MoviPrep is a nuclear laxative. I don't want to be too graphic, here, but: Have you ever seen a space-shuttle launch? This is pretty much the MoviPrep experience, with you as the shuttle. There are times when you wish the commode had a seat belt. You spend several hours pretty much confined to the bathroom, spurting violently. You eliminate everything. And then, when you figure you must be totally empty, you have to drink another liter of MoviPrep, at which point, as far as I can tell, your bowels travel into the future and start eliminating food that you have not even eaten yet. After an action-packed evening, I finally got to sleep. The next morning my wife drove me to the clinic. I was very nervous. Not only was I worried about the procedure, but I had been experiencing occasional return bouts of MoviPrep spurtage. I was thinking, 'What if I spurt on Andy?' How do you apologize to a friend for something like that? Flowers would not be enough. At the clinic I had to sign many forms acknowledging that I understood and totally agreed with whatever the heck the forms said. Then they led me to a room full of other colonoscopy people, where I went inside a little curtained space and took off my clothes and put on one of those hospital garments designed by sadist perverts, the kind that, when you put it on, makes you feel even more naked than when you are actually naked. Then a nurse named Eddie put a little needle in a vein in my left hand. Ordinarily I would have fainted, but Eddie was very good, and I was already lying down. Eddie also told me that some people put vodka in their MoviPrep. At first I was ticked off that I hadn't thought of this, but then I pondered what would happen if you got yourself too tipsy to make it to the bathroom, so you were staggering around in full Fire Hose Mode. You would have no choice but to burn your house. When everything was ready, Eddie wheeled me into the procedure room, where Andy was waiting with a nurse and an anesthesiologist. I did not see the 17,000-foot tube, but I knew Andy had it hidden around there somewhere. I was seriously nervous at this point. Andy had me roll over on my left side, and the anesthesiologist began hooking something up to the needle in my hand. There was music playing in the room, and I realized that the song was 'Dancing Queen' by Abba. I remarked to Andy that, of all the songs that could be playing during this particular procedure, 'Dancing Queen' has to be the least appropriate. 'You want me to turn it up?' said Andy, from somewhere behind me. 'Ha ha,' I said. And then it was time, the moment I had been dreading for more than decade. If you are squeamish, prepare yourself, because I am going to tell you, in explicit detail, exactly what it was like. I have no idea. Really. I slept through it. One moment, Abba was shrieking 'Dancing Queen! Feel the beat from the tambourine ...'.. and the next moment, I was back in the other room, waking up in a very mellow mood. Andy was looking down at me and asking me how I felt. I felt excellent. I felt even more excellent when Andy told me that it was all over, and that my colon had passed with flying colors. I have never been prouder of an internal organ.

This is about 9 minutes, but worth watching. We may need new tires. You will see a short commercial first. YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS ABOUT TIRES http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=4826897

Yep I have to wear my Triton shirt, cap and a big Triton sticker on the back of my vehicle to get the contingency money if I win. You can win an extra 1000 to 10,000 for this advertisement, So I look real purrdy when I fish a tournament.

That would be yes, I have one bass that weighs about 6lb that I have been catching for over two years. I just put the jig down there and he knows what to do.

Prayers to you Ronnie and the family.
