Jimzee

C'mon Troutfisher....you don't have to go online to find pics to impres us...Here's your REAL Identity.... ( Must suck to live in WV ) ;D That's about how it is, but how'd you get that picture of Jimzee? That's not me, it's my pappy. Mine is in my avatar.

I wish I had haters. Can I be in y'alls club for a little while? Nice fish man.

Do you really know what 20 lbs. of drag pressure looks like? Try it sometime on your rod. I hope you have a good warranty program. Better yet, set your drag at 20 lbs. and tie your line to a cinderblock and then kick the block off your porch or deck and then tell me what happened. Your not gonna like the outcome. 6-10 lbs. of drag is more than sufficient in getting fish out of heavy cover. Edited to add: My intention was not to sound like a smartass even though after I read my reply it does sound that way. I'm sure the Revo is a great reel and indeed it has a monster drag. I just wanted to let pipho know that an Alphas could be used for pitching. Apologies to flippin4it if it was taken this way. Burley, you ain't right!! :) ;D

My favorite Pro Angler, the G-Man Without a doubt, one of the most cocky anglers on tour. Like him or not, he tells it like it is. I like the way he fishes, I like his attitude, the G-Man's coming for you. ;D Thanks Glenn.

I have a "few" of them, they work fine for me. I have done some drag upgrades with Carbontex washers and probably pushing 8.5-9.0 lbs. of drag pressure. I only use about 6.5 lbs. of drag most of the time.

Nice to see the girls getting in on the action. Hope you have a great year.

I laughed my butt off when I read that...Nice fish man, I love standing timber lakes.

Freaking awesome man!! Most people would have never taken the time. Respect!!

I'm with RW, I'd go with 8.3 lbs. She's a toad!! Man, what a beautiful place you live in.

Oh yeah!! Right there is a good bait.

I have one of these. You can put a bunch of line on it. Shop around and you will find a much better deal on one. Just to give you an idea, I found mine for $37.00 shipped on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/Team-Daiwa-Advantage-TD-A150H-BaitCasting-Reel-NIB-150H_W0QQitemZ7149916906QQihZ009QQcategoryZ36146QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247 Daniel, if you are interested in this reel and can't find a seller to ship to you, I can get you one and ship it. I don't know why people will not ship overseas, there's nothing to it.

Are you talking about the small inflatable ones with oars or the large ones with motors and lots of deck space? The small ones are awesome on float trips and small lakes. I have no clue on the larger ones.

Dude, I pitch cranks to cover and brush. Makes it rough when you catch the trebles in the hand though. There is no wrong way to fish a crank. Glad you got on them.

Way to go CJ!! We're gonna be seeing you winning another new boat before the years over.

Great pic Matt and certainly a great day. Thanks for posting.

Well I would have normally said wind until I went to Guntersville on a "real" lake and found out what wind really was. (30-40 mph) I have never drained a trolling motor battery on any lake in WV....Guntersville eat it alive. I will never complain about the wind in WV again. ;D

I knew Catt would be chiming in on this one. That man has forgot about more big bass being caught on a craw worm than I will ever catch. I use them sometimes flipping heavy cover. I use the Bait Breath version. http://www.ichibantackle.com/showproductdetail.asp?productid=2397&name=BYS%20CRAW%205.5%20inch&manufacturename=BAIT%20BREATH

Here you go...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluegill

Or maybe G Loomis will come out with a split grip ;D That's the only thing that has stopped my from buying one already. Maybe one day they will get with it and release a split grip rod in the BCR series. Y'all have fun at ICAST. Take plenty of good pics!!

Congrats on the Elite status. What the others have said, you always do have something good to say even in a bad situation. I hope I get to meet you one day on a BR trip.

Funky looking lure. The Japanese always seem like they are one step ahead of everyone in ingenuity.

Ladies and gentleman, I present you Fish Chris of the mid south. Beautiful fish man!! Maybe one of these days... :-[

At least it could double as toilet paper in a time of need Jimzee ;D That really hurts you know...

Great news!! I believe that is a new PB by 1 oz. right? I'll take em' one ounce at a time.

I would be putting that in a frame and matting it if I were you. That would make a great family heirloom.
