I don't agree with that statement, but I do understand what you're saying. The real problem arises when someone writes what should be a paragraph without a hint of capitalization or punctuation. I don't even bother to read that crap.

My pet peeve is the misuse of there, their, and they're.

Preparation is the key to survival when it comes to animal attacks. I suggest that you start running daily if you don't already do so. Don't worry so much about distance, but focus instead on wind sprints. Then, when the time comes, you should be able to easily out run your fishing partner!

Same thing only mine was 14'. My partner and I took 2nd place out of about 30 teams. That was right at 10 years ago on Milford Lake KS.

Unless there are suspended fish above the tree, crankbaits are probably a waste of time. I do a lot of deep cranking and I never go that deep. I would suggest a carolina rig with about an oz of weight.

I just learned something new. All this time I thought his name was Leo.

Yeah, I was gonna get one, but I changed my mind because they don't come with a trailer hitch!

Doing an insane amount of coke may be counterproductive!

I'd eat it! And I'd make sure that there were no pictures taken of it. That way my record would be surrounded by controversy for the next century.

Ditto. I've never seen that before. Does elevating the puck improve its performance?

I came home from fishing this afternoon to find a new rod waiting on my front porch. Gblanks 6'10", med/xfast, IM8, spinning rod. Freakin' sweet! This rod was repayment for a favor and didn't cost me a cent. Then I checked the mail and found a check for $433. It was my 2008 Oklahoma State tax refund (is that correct Burley?). What a day! Kinda makes up for the crappy fishing.

I filed 2008 and 2009 this year because I was deployed last year. I've already received the 2009 return, but still waiting on 2008.

No.

My favorite bass is the one I haven't caught yet. It's the one that keeps me from sleeping the night before I go fishing. It's the one that keeps me coming back for more.

If they keep fishing the same lakes over and over, they should be easy to avoid.

Frogtog's true identity is revealed. His real name is Cliff Clavin!

I know what you mean. I've started taking a couple of my more out of shape Soldiers with me and even they are getting hooked on it. These are the same guys who dread Army PT every morning.

I rarely use it, but I've never had a problem with it.

Spot on!

Meatheads tick me off. They're always leaning on the weight racks trying to look beautiful instead of working out.

Not neccasarily. I copied and pasted this from crossfit.com The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We've used our same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. We scale load and intensity; we don't change programs.

There is no regular routine. You get a different workout every day and you never know what it is until you get there. Or you can get a workout of the day on one of the crossfit websites. Sometimes your workout may take an hour and sometimes it's over in a few minutes. Here are some examples: 1. 21 power cleans 21 ring dips 15 cleans 15 dips 9 cleans 9 dips This WOD is is completed for time. 2. 100 pull-ups 100 push-ups 100 sit-ups 100 squats for time

Muskiebassfisher, we've kept this debate civil so far. Let's try to keep it that way. How many rods have you broken on a hookset or while casting? I have been fishing for thirty plus years and have broken exactly one rod. That was an el cheapo flipping stick and I was throwing a swimbait that was quite a bit heavier than what the rod was rated for. I have noone to blame but myself and I would be absolutely embarrassed to ask a rod manufacturer to replace that rod. I shop for quality first and look at the warranty as a bonus...definately not the deciding factor on whether or not I'll purchase something.

I don't know. It seems like the majority of people here are more interested in the warranty than quality of the product.
