It's all about complimenting or contrasting, the "cool factor". Otherwise, color makes no difference.

Welcome aboard!

Smackdown is the BEST braid on the market. Uniform diameter, soft and smooth. This line is in a class of its own.

I suggest renting boats for a year to find out if you really "need" one.

Anything can happen in the NFL. Heck, maybe the Broncos will win another game!

Not during the winter, the fish are deeper.

Fished Tuesday and Wednesday. Started off with my buddy landing a Personal Best late Tuesday. The next morning he upped his PB with a 6 1/2-7 lb piggy! We caught 22 fish in total, 6 over 5 lbs. A bonus fish was a 10 lb+ buffalo. I fished a Rage Tail Menace on the Helios/ G.Loomis MBR 842C and 10lb Tatsu. That's the Dream Team.

There are no smallmouth anywhere in the metropolitan area. However, Pickwick is a World Class fishery and it's less than a two hour drive.

So the dogs are 7 years old now...

My favorite is Tatsu #12 . Seaguar AbrazX is another good choice.

The Outpost just north of the dam carries the biggest minnows I have found.

Nice fish, GREAT pic!
