@ "do you want to reel this one in". Sounds like you had an awesome day.Enjoy it while you can!

Two words come to mind...Simply pimping ;D

This one has to be my favorite Icast peek so far. I'm Glad to see him doing so well.I wish him the best of luck with his creation.I'm gonna have to wait and see what his rods are gonna be priced at..since i'm still waiting and wanting a swimbait rod,why not get one from no other than the guy who gives awesome advice on swimbaiting here?

Getting one of those for my finance' when they come out. It's gonna be one of those "her's" rods.I think they look awesome as well. However i'm after the okuma now....

I worry more about performance than scratches.However i do take care of my stuff. I brought a curado 100 off the flea market with some scratches and i love it.I don't baby it like i do with new reels.However i do take care of it.

Your story sounds fishy to me. Why would it be ok for your friends dad to have a firearm in the vehicle, but I crime for you to have one. Because he has a permit to have one.He left it in the car his son borrowed.Either way all we did was explained to the cops and all they did was take it and let us go.Neither one of us knew it was there. Rather his dad got fined for it or not i don't know....His dad however admitted to the cops it was his.Which should have been in clayton's situation as well. I guess we got an understanding cop.However we could have gotten taken down to the station where our parents would have had to pick us up...Guess we got lucky.

Wait a minute,you mean you got caught with your dad's gun and your dad didn't stick up for you?Kinda shocked you got the book thrown at you for it. Something smells fishy as heck seeing this happened to me and a friend...and we calmly explained it was his dad's and we knew nothing about it.The cop even called his dad and his dad verified it was in fact his and we were not in any knowing knowledge of the gun.All they did was took the gun and made the father come to the police department to pick it up. You musta got busted by one heck of an "butthead" cop. You should have been able to get out of that situation real quickly.

Believe me i'm taking notes.Swimbaiting is an expensive thing to start up...money's tight and i'm just slowly building up a swimbait tacklebox.Looks like i'm gonna have to wait till next year for the swimbait rig.But for now i'm OK with learning everything i can.

welcome back muddy.

That stuff just blew through Michigan...Knocked out all the street lights on a major road and none of the gas stations have power. I drove home doing 35MPH on a 55MPH road....every single car was going slow and you couldn't see 20 feet in front of you. NASTY STUFF! Got home and ended up sitting in the car for 15 minutes before it started to let up a little.Way too much lightening.

Can't wait to see those pics rocknfish.I have yet to catch a 3 pounder this year.

You can also put small split shot on the hook.Doesn't tear your plastics up as bad as a weighted hook. Works just as well....Oooppps...i just gave away my secret now... 8-)

This is why i rent movies. :-/ On a rare occasion do i go out....maybe once every 3 months or so if that. My best friend works movies,none of the ticket sales benefits the theatre..only the concession stands.Which is why they don't want you bringing in your own food.

Awesome dude! Is it me or does it seem like our smallmouth fishery improved greatly this year in Michigan?

Glenn said it....become an "youknowwhat" for awhile.Call the cops on every little thing they do...I can promise they'll be out and moved before the summer's over by then. Perhaps get the cops to talk to the owner of the house getting them evicted. Don't confront the people in the house....worst thing you can do.

I hate the fact he wants back now...after juggling the thought of him retiring.I kind of would like to see him on a coaching staff. A guy in his 40's playing against some of the youngest stronger young guys his chance of getting hurt is greater.

hey welcome aboard!

Awesome bro! 2 DD bass this year...you on a roll.

Great catch and what a football!

Congrats to you and your wife flechero!

Poor dog!

;D @ invisible car passing by...

Seeing as you are another fellow michigan angler.Right now tubes and rat-l-traps(sexy shad color) are hot tickets.I also has some great luck on the cavitron buzzbait(white/chart with gold blade) last saturday.

You know,i don't think i would have had the heart to pull up when he asked you guys....I would have did the same "blank stare" that he gave you guys when you two were helping the people in the canoe. I'm glad there's guys out there like you two...you guys did the right thing.

My kid is going nuts over this movie...since the commercials for it.I'll let my girl take him while i'm at work this week.We normally avoid the big weekend crowds at the movies.
