Thanks guys/gals, for the feedback. We ended up serving a Blackened bone-in Dubreton pork chop with a blackberry compote over clapshot potatoes. We served it for Fall Restaurant Week a month ago. Very well received.

Since SW Ohio is a dead sea for bass fishing, other than the LMR, what lakes are you folks fishing lately? There are NOT many options, so I am curious how far you are traveling to wet lines. I live in Lebanon, OH, and would rather make the 3.5-hour drive to Lake St., but that is not always an option for a day trip. I checked old posts, but it doesn't appear that there is a large group of BR members in these parts. (probably due to the fishing )

I have been away from the Bass Resource family for a number of years. Son playing baseball, moving, work, etc. Back in the day, around 2012ish we used to do a Christmas exchange. Like a secret Santa. I tried to find old posts with no luck. Does this still happen? Anyone remember doing these? I know Glenn, Catt, Roadwarrior, Keri, were all involved. It was really cool.

Getting ready to roll a new menu. Thanks for the feedback everyone. We went with a Tomahawk Pork Chop, blackened and served with wild mushroom risotto

Interesting that there are not more PorkChop fans.

Question: If you had the choice, would you rather have a bone in Rib-eye or a Tomahawk Pork Chop? Both liberally seasoned, pan seared until it has a nice crust and basted with butter, thyme, and rosemary Sides are a Tillamook Cheddar cheesy grits and blistered Asparagus

#strangerdanger. OMG that made me spit out my drink

Afternoon All, Just wanted to say “Hey” to everyone. I used to be very regular on this site but moved and work kept getting in the way. Glad to be back on the site. Tight Lines Steve Fritz. (Sfritr)

Nope sorry, only in the pouches. www.grinds.com

Used to do a can a day. For those looking for a healthy alternative try Grinds. Www.grinds.com It is flavored coffee grinds in dip pouches like bandits. They come n three favors mocha,chocolate mint, and cinnamon roll. Each pouch is like a 1/4 cup of expresso. I have found that it satisfies the oral habit of dip and Gives you a caffeine fix in the process. Grinds were designed by two ex minor league ball players and were on shark tank. Give them a try you won't be disappointed.

Just remember: Proverbs 27:17 "As iron sharpens iron, one man sharpens another" When you need a laugh or a little pick me up your BR bretheren will be right here.... God Bless

A few things: 1. That model was a standard on my 96 Stratos. It just had a Johnson sticker on the side instead of Evinrude. The thrust was 47lbs and it pushed my 18ft bass boat until about 3 months ago. Those TM are tanks!! you can purchase parts, props, pins, covers, etc. online. 2. You may want to be careful as I believe they only come in 42 in shaft length. That may be too short for a toon. Also, IMO that would be underpowered for a 24ft toon. 3. There are two sized props for that motor, I believe it was an 8" and a 12" You'll have to check the bottom of the prop to determine which one fits. Good luck

My first thought: Is the kill switch not attached? This may cause the key not to slide into the hole and would also cause the motor not to turn over. Second: And this is more of a comment, why take the key out of the ignition, ever? Mine stays in the ignition 24/7. I keep a spare hidden on my boat and in my truck just in case. Your key may be bent or something causing it to not slide into the hole properly. Good Luck

Post the photos here or send me a PM. My neighbor is an expert in rare fishing lures. He has made a good living buying and selling old fishing gear. His basement is a museum. There are a few that he has in his posession that are worth more than my boat, truck, and first born child...

Welcome to the forums Tylor!! You will find everything you could ever need right here on the BR forums. Let me know if you ever need any assistance

First boat was a 96 18ft Stratos 278 w/ a 150 Johnson. Still fishing out of it. The best bass boat I have ever owned. (and the only one). I am the third owner and it still looks new. Hits 63mph on the water with normal loads, is very good in rough water, and fits in my garage. BTS on the outside and Seafoam on the inside religiously. I've had to replace two power packs, and one set of steering cables. I paid 5k for it 6 years ago and could still get 5k for it in my opinion. Treat them well and safely and they will treat you the same...

X2 Also, Check out Kens Marina on 9 mile. Best burgers on the lake made fresh.

There is a very good chance that a bird snatched that little guy from the lake only to drop him accidentally on his way back to the nest.

Then get yourself some BTS and watch it shine.. http://btsprotectant.com/ At one time they were a sponsor here. Only thing I use on my boat

NHL doesn't start until the "second season" Although, an impressive feat nonetheless. Go REDWINGS!!

Looks like a lump of coal in my stocking every year isn't such a bad thing after all.

hahahahaha AWESOME!!! "No, I did not eat those sprinkles." How was Mom not laughing her @$$ off???? I could not have interrogated him with a straight face.

Yeah, most of us are crazy already anyway. I always *** my HVAC guys. they get to leave at the end of the day.....
