nice man - that fish looks like it has a lot of potential to get heavier!

just cant beat beef jerky and gatorade. a red bull if i need it from the night before

if you caught the fish to be able to feel it or cut it open, you know what its eating, or willing to eat yeah? ;D

full sized, on weighted falcon hooks.

man you are on a roll - nice job man!

I am nearly unable to cast with just one hand - it feels so weird.

As someone who is going through the same thing but getting more and more comfortable - my advice is to start slow and dont worry about trying to max out the distance just yet. Keep working on the mechanics, and get a easy to manage line to start out with. I tried with stiffer copolys and floros and the overruns were a nightmare. TIME ON THE WATER!

nice chunk man!!

echo the sentiments on great rod for the $$ when on sale - love my MH spinning!

riiiiiiight island. more like IB-1 Baitmonkey - 23874928342 ;D

lol youre one of the few people who will post a huge fish like that and I am more interested in what is sticking out of its mouth than the fish. very nice!

nice color on that beast

gotta pay to play - if the mattlures is too expensive for you then you should just stick with the storms.

niiice- off the bank! no stats?

I just started fishing with a rod with hypalon and one with what i believe is EVA this year and man I love it compared to my cork rods. But admittedly my cork rods are not the highest quality (think basspro) so I dont know if higher grade cork would feel a lot better. But the qualities that make me prefer the foam-type handles over the cork (warmth, cushioning, handling when wet, etc) I doubt would change with the grade of cork.

coulda sworn the section was called "my fishing tourney or outing" not "my bass fishing tourney or outing"

tackle warehouse by a LONGshot is the finest on-line retailer for fishing gear I have come across when considering all factors like selection, information, customer service, etc.

Short, yes? Midget, . Roger flips/pitches with spinning gear so that video is probably not something a lot of people here are looking for specifically. He does know his stuff however.

They've come a long way - I'd be VERY surprised if anyone could shake apart my custom 2-pc rods or really claim to feel a difference. I really wish companies would make more 2pc casting rod options - why they are so limited is puzzling in comparison to spinning models.

No. When will you people learn that a big bait is not that big at all ? if the fish thinks it can mouth it they will attack it. Right, hence my comment about the numbers. Say.. a hudd shad, is going to fit in a lot more mouths than a hudd 8" trout. #s. Or do you really believe a small swimbait is really useless in any and all applications?

He must have been talking in a big-fish context, correct? I love fishing the small ones for #s and hits.

He said he stuck it on a swimbait. How more specific can one be ;D Congrats bro! ;D gotta pry whenever possible

8-)

not gonna tell us what you stuck her on? ;D nice fish, looking to break my smallie pb this yr for sure.

man it needs to warm up here already... nice!
