Best Hollow Body Frog?
Dep basarisky is a good one. My personal favorite is the Transporter from paycheck baits. It's a popper/walking the dog bait. One of the more easier baits to walk the dog for me. I love the action it puts out. I have a lot of fun with this one.

Dragging A Bait In Zebra Mussels?
Unfortunately I don't...I'm definitely interested in hearing from other people as well. Only solution I came up with was watch your line and retie often. Problem with braid is the rocks. I think this is why I like the Trilene XT line.....It seems to hold up a litle better in those mussel infested areas a tad better.

How Do You Show Off That You Fish..
As you know MI only requires back plates....so my front plates is a Bass chasing a crankbait with the words "Bass fever". I stick out like a sore thumb....lol. I always have my neighbors asking me how the fishing is...

If You Won The Lottery...
New house New boat New truck Go places Buy a place in Texas for Winter. I don't think I really could leave MI. for good. My wife's family is up here and she can't be too far away from them for a long period of time. Plus I'm addicted to smallmouth fishing and all the beautiful lakes and scenery here. The rest of the money I would invest. We didn't win last night(we were up to almost 700 million). Then again we rarely play and usually only spend $5 when we do.

Inline Spinners
I love them so much,I actually make my own inline spinners. Inline are simple lures and just flat out catches fish.Some people say they catch only small fish.Some people think it's cheating. Yes,they are very prone to hang ups but that's why I make my own....cheaper and I can make a few of them up in an hour. Just an underrated lure IMO.

Leaving On Lures
After I'm done? No,easy to just leave the lure on for easy transportation back home.However, I've been trying to get into the habit of retie once I go fishing. You should retie before you start fishing again. I always retie my stuff the night before I'm getting ready to go out that morning.

G Loomis Poseurs
No but this topic can turn ugly real fast.... I really don't care who wears what.....I'm in agreement with just about everything Glenn said in here so far. Maybe they needed a fishing hat to keep the sun out Maybe they just like the hat Maybe they found it on sale Maybe they wanted to show they love fishing and Wearing Loomis is one good way to show it(even if they don't have any loomis) Maybe somebody gave it to them as a gift The list could be endless I have a few reebox and Nike shirts.....I don't own a single pair of either of them. If that makes me a poser so be it.....really couldn't give a dang.People should worry more about themselves and less of everybody else. My two cents...and the value is dropping fast....LOL

Crappie Setup
Shakespeare cirrus rod and whatever choice reel you want on it. Cirrus rod can be found at walmart for around $20 or less. It has a slow action enough that you don't rip the hook out of the crappie's paper-like mouth. I've caught walleyes up to 19" on this rod as well.Handled them with no problems.

Yum Dinger
They fall pretty well for me.

The Things Kids Say
Kid:How do you make a sandwich into a manwich? Me:How? Kid:you put all your manly stuff in it! Me: *facepalm* I'm gonna be in some serious trouble if he ever figures out what that really means.....Have no idea where he got that one either. My wife and sister in law nearly peed on themselves when he told them.

Tequila Sunrise Plastics?
X2! I like the Berkley powerworm as well....
-
Yum Dinger
I prefer them over the senkos. I pick the yum dinger over pretty much everything. The 4" are killer smallmouth baits.

Movies For 2012
It was a good movie,but harry potter/vamp. craze......nah. That's just my opinion though. There's definitely gonna another Hunger game movie coming out. I am quite curious how they will keep it going. We caught it today @ the 10:30am showing....barely anybody there and the ticket prices were cheaper. The shock value is there because it's all kids......Definitely NOT a kid's movie though.

Movies For 2012
I'm guessing you mean Hunger Games? I'm fixing to see that one with the wife Monday. I put in a Vacation day to spend a little time with her since we don't see each other too often(she works days and I work afternoons).

Smallie With Spots
They having ink fights.....LOL I catch them from time to time looking like that too.

I'm A Good Person.....
But you need to live your life too........This is the reason why more than half the people in this world is stressed out beyond limits.Families fall apart and so do marriages. My dad dedicated his time in work....I rarely ever saw the man. While I love and respect my dad very much, I still wish he took some of those time off to spend it with me. I realize my mom didn't work,so all the pressure was on my dad to pay the bills. But I'm way more closer to my mom than I ever will to my dad. When I'm working 58 hours a week, I feel ticked off,angry,moody.....that's no way to live your life. Old people won't admit this,but half of them are that way.....ever wonder why? I can name a few reasons why.

Sebile????
I had no idea sebile made a buzzbait. I had to check it out........i hate to admit it,but it's got my attention.....the fact that it floats makes this thing unique over every buzzbait I have. It would also make this buzzbait impossible to get hung up on a first cast near a tree branch or underwater log. I wonder how much of a difference it would make if we were able to let our buzzbait sit for a minute or so before retrieving it back to us? Your traditional buzzbaits can't do this and would sink and likely snag something on the bottom.

Kopper's Live Target Frog Review
I find this frog harder to walk than other frogs.

Does Your Wife/other Groom You?
I have one hair that always seems to grow right by my right eye. For some reason it annoys the hell out of her and she plucks it. Usually happens about once every 6 months. I can't figure it out either. Every time she plucks it now it grows thicker and thicker.

I never answer my phone when my work calls.....I mean NEVER...LOL

'dem Saints Heads Rolled...
I don't think it's enough either...they should have been fired and never allowed back into NFL period. And the saints should have been auctioned off. Why you think I hate the Saints so much?

The Lake Is Closed!!!

Big Bluegill/sunfish
Something about catching Bluegills can really bring the kid out in you. I still remember the age i caught my first bluegill. Heck I still fish for bluegills to this day yet. Just pure good old fun.
