When we were there, last year, this is the kind of week I was expecting. Once again, timing is everything! 8-)

Line and hooks are the most important equipment we use. Don't skimp, but use what you like. The cost for most lines is nominal and often on sale. Trilene XL is fine. Step up a notch and buy "expensive hooks". Gamakatsu, Owner, Mustad, Xpoint and VMC are all good. 8-)

Matt, I saw your resume on the thread you started. That's where it belongs, not here. -Kent a.k.a. roadwarrior

Welcome aboard! Great post. I'm in Germantown. Maybe we can get together sometime, I have a couple of ponds you might like to fish. -Kent a.k.a. roadwarrior 8-)

That's great, I'm glad you had fun. Even your "little fish" looks good to me! 8-)

Welcome aboard! Here are some ideas from another thread: http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1143177139 8-)

That's very nice. When I read the title of this thread, I thought maybe an athlete had graduated from LSU. That would really be big news in the SEC!

Whatever you are comfortable with. I fish almost all soft plastics on spinning tackle. The exceptions are big baits like the 10" Rage Tail Anaconda and 7" Senko. 8-)

For my money, nothin' to talk about: http://imaginationbassin.com/ 8-)

That set-up will be fine. On average, my reels are 67-75% of the cost of a combination. High quality reels, especially baitcasters, makes "fishing" more fun! Next time you have the money, you may want to upgrade your rod. Sensitivity comes into play with soft plastics and jigs, but not so much with "moving" lures. 8-)

Fish Chris uses spinning tackle almost exclusively. Don't let anyone tell you this gear can't handle big fish. Stick with spinning tackle and catch a bunch of fish. When you decide to try baitcasting, buy a good quality rig and work with it until you are comfortable casting. 8-)

How would you know that? Have you ever trolled? There might be a little more to it than you think. For multi-species fishing, trolling is hard to beat. Specifically targeting bass, this is another way to cover a lot of water. Attributes of trolling include identifying areas cover and structure, as well as locating fish. Working different lures at specific depths and locating schools of baitfish are some other things that come into play. Try trolling, you might be surprised.

Not paying attention... http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1158577137 Spend some time in the BassResource Library, "Fishing Articles" and "Tacklebox" at the top of the page. Read every article and go to every link. Take notes and make a plan. 8-)

The Cavitron also produces a unique chirping sound and a nice bubble trail. Get the colors you like, but make one of them a 3/8 oz black on black. 8-)

Man, that's quite a fish. Great pic, too! 8-)

Actually, GYCB Senko and Fat Ika are guaranteed: http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1158577137 8-)

Just about any soft plastic, so use your favorite. I have had good luck with the GYCB 6 1/2" Kut-Tail Kahuna: http://***/cgi-bin/order/7X-10?thAFKgQf;;149 However, my new focus is the Rage Tail Lobster. 8-)
