Some editing required...Otherwise, thank's for the tip! :

Way to go. Great post and pics! 8-)

I fish both, but have a strong preference for one over the other when fishing various techniques. Since I fish more soft plastics than anything else, I voted for spinning tackler, but I would hate to give up my baitcasters! 8-)

Just a warning guys, sometimes it's dangerous to fish. I won't be back to the Tennessee River for awhile. Yesterday we caught one small striper, less than 8 lbs, in six hours. The actual temperature was a little ove 100, clear skies, high humidity and not a hint of breeze. Tried to fish the Secret Pond this morning with a temperature of "only" 89, but after yesterday, it just was unbearable. When it's not fun, I'm done! Current teperature 102, heat index 115-117, high humidity and no wind. I'm staying inside today.

Happy Birthday! 8-)

CONGRATULATIONS!

;D ;D CONGRATULATIONS! ;D ;D

One of our members picked up a Fenwick Techna AV on Amazon for around $75. If you can find an AVS70MF, that would match up perfectly with a Shimano Stradic 2500FI. Fenwick Techna AV Jul 30th 2008 at 05:47:20* Relative to my Crucial, I didn't appreciate the Techna AV (7MF Casting) until I tried jigging with it. I liked it so much I ordered another (66MHF Casting): http://www.amazon.com/Fenwick-Techna-Triggerstik-Casting-Medium-Heavy/dp/B000DZF... At $78 including shipping, it's a great deal. I figured it was worth risking Amazon. Last time I price-matched at my favorite etailer, but this time they didn't have the same model in stock. Every so often Amazon will have a great deal on Fenwick rods - the deals disappear quickly. I called Fenwick to confirm that Amazon is an authorized dealer. Cheers! 8-)

Welcome aboard! 8-)

Well, we seemed to have moved away from "entry level": http://www.purdey.com/ 8-)

Warren Buffet and Bill Gates are "best buddies" even though Mr. Buffet has never invested a penny in Microsoft. You and * are tops on my list. Even though I'm not your best customer, I support and promote your soft plastics here and a few other places. Keep up the good work! -Kent a.k.a. roadwarrior 8-)

Man, that's one heck of a day. Congratulations! 8-)

Hey Dominick, Ask Elaine to choose one of these for you: http://www.nanciesfancies.com/eyeglass.html 8-)

Looks like you guys know how to throw a party! 8-)

Focus on structure and current break. Always fish coming across current or with you lure moving downstream. 8-)

No, the water it's really too hot. I fish for striper below Pickwick Dam during the summer. Smallmouth season is October through the middle of March for me. My best month is January. 8-)

Well, the Cali boys have had two shots on local water and haven't caught a 10 between them. I guess that must be part of the reason why they moved the event to Texas!

Oh, ROADWARRIOR!!!!!!..............ROADWARRIOR!!!!!!!! (I agree with you one hundred percent ; but........, we'll, let's here R-W say it........) b (sorry, this one is years in the making; i'm not trying to drag you through anything, just keep you 'up-to-date' on the inner workings of RW; the man, the legend............ Hey Brent! I guess I missed this one last night... The 6" Senko is what I fish, but I recommend the 5" versions to people that are struggling or just getting started. Numbers are much better on 5" stickbaits. I fish 6" to discourage the smaller fish, but still catch some. For a year or two I fished 7" baits, but they didn't improve my bigger bass production and more importantly, the 7" Senko is too heavy for the spinning equipment I use to fish soft plastics. So, that's the story. -Kent a.k.a. roadwarrior 8-)

10 lbs is when they become "special". Some people catch a lot of big fish all the time. I don't think they care about the picture unless it's with friends or really something. 8-)

Watch out for the crowd they run with. My kids are there with yours, but they care...a lot. 8-)

Watermelon with black flake is the only color you need for any water. 8-)

How 'bout a simple solution: If you have two treble hooks, remove one and clip off two of the barbs on the other or just clip off all but a single barb on one hook without removing anything. 8-)

These guys had a huge allocation during the Avid liquidation last year. I'm sure they will be the #1 player this year with the LE rods: http://www.reedssports.com/ 8-)
