6lbs 3oz caught on 4" tube

Thats a great fish man. Looks like thing are finally starting to happen up here in NE.

I just used regular 30 min. 2 part epoxy because i had some around the house but i came out good.

Actually i figured it out thanx anyway.

Thanks for the kind words. Im so happy to be apart of this forum. My only question now is how do i put this pic on my profile.

Its been a slow start to '08 for me. I havent had that break out day where you cant seem to through the wrong lure, but the quality of fish have been very good. Today a went out for a couple of hours in the morning and only caught one fish but what a fish. 6lbs. 5oz. amd a new PB for me.

I think they changed them a little last year or this year because its a little different than other ones i've seen.

I got the idea from a couple other members on here who dod the same. I found this artical online that explains in detail how it it is done, but i didnt remove the but grip the way he does just cut to the length you want and shape to desired feel. http://www.georgescustomrods.com/split_your_grip.htm

Thanx. I didnt cut the reel seat i just removed tha fore grip on the middle rod and shortened it on the spinning rod and split all 3 rear grips.

I was stuck in the house all weekend because of this lovely NE weather so i figured i would mess with my rods a little. (L to R) BPS Pro Qualifier 6'6", Dick's Quest 6'6" and Quantum Tournament Grade 7'

BPS Extreme reel on a BPS Pro Qualifier rod. Nothing fancy but i love it.

My first tourny was last fathers day, we only caught 1 fish and had to leave 2 hours before weigh-in cuz my father inlaw hooked his hand trying to take the fish off and i had to bring him to the E.R.

1/2 oz black and blue jig.

Thats a great fish. Congrats.

I hear you there. I've been getting sick of all tha crap before the race.
