Speaking of bait_monkey, I never even heard of him. Never. Ever. Then one day I saw this guy who had like 3 million posts, yet I'd never read a single one of them. Where are all of his posts. Is is just the baitmonkey messing with me? dude it was the same way with me. it was only a month or two when i found out about him and ive been here since june. i was just browin the tackle section and i saw a post by bait_Monkey and i was like oh clever name and i looked and he had 19000 some posts but id never seen a single one of them!

watched a whole show on snakeheads in the md/va area and they said that various fish markets are illegally getting shipments of live snakeheads (so they will be fresher) and then some people illegally sell them as pets and illegally release them. the snake heads dont really bother me as long as they dont interfere with bass. if that is the case then hooray i have a nother gamefish to target! look like they'd put up a good fight.

have a link?

ok thats cool. well apparently they must work, but i would think that both the flaps would catch water at the same time and just create a whole bunch of resistance....not so?

if you dont have enough existing line on your spool then go ahead and use a uni-uni knot to attach them thats how i attach my braid and mono. you would thin that the knot would mess up the way the line spools on but it really doesnt affect anything.

WOW! was just looking that the bugs page on cremes website and theyre bugs are very realistic! more realistic than most fishing flies. these must be popular among trout fisherman...if they arent popular they should be!!! they are pretty pricey though...near $2 each...but still...give em a look http://www.cremelure.com/store/store_sub.cfm?Category_ID=5

fourbizz what is that swimbait you posted a pic of and what are those mid-bait wing jobs?

i consider myself a good crankbait fisherman. i am very productive witha crank. probably my top 4 or 5 fish were taken on a crankbait. i do everything that everyone said. but im not sure what you all mean by dont crank it back in a straight line. how can you avoid this? any lure that you are retreiving back to you comes back in a straight line. the only way to avoid this would be sticking your rod way out to the left or right...but even that doesnt get you too far off a straight line. when you guys say "straight line" do you mean just reeling it straight back at a steady pace with no variation? that seems like a beginner mistake. are you saying that instead of cranking steadily, change the pace of your reeling, and add pauses and jerks and let the lure float for a little bit then crank it back down....change things up? cuz thats what i do but the lure still comes back to me in a straight line. i just wanted to clarify things. :

ok i see the 9" tournament ripple now. that looks like a nice alternative. someone offered to make me a mold of my existing worms and pour me some, i think i might have to take him up on that. if something goes wrong with that plan the tournement ripple might be a nice alternative. if that pro snake came in a 9 or 10 inch size i'd like that one too

yeah they seem like they would be some good worms. i do like the looks of them. on that website i clikced "ripple" on the sidebar and it only showed 8" as being the longest. is there another ripple worm that is longer?

i have used many other 10" worms and the culprits are very good, probably the best 10"er ive found, but they are skinny. i like the bulkiness and thickness of the riverside worms.

i dont mind the threads about the baitmonkey and how he makes us buy stuff, but i find the actual BR member bait_Monkey very annoying..... :-?

you should try and raise a bluegill in it get it when its only like 2" long and then raise it up to be a big boy

i dont think they were trying to feed the snakehead, i think they were trying to see the two fish fight :-/

microperterus had some good points there. i want aware of many of those but they seem like they would be very true. i fish the potomac occasionally and i have never caught a snakehead but i really want to! there is a nice reward for anyone who turns one in

lil fishies look nice. cheap and worth trying! ive used scoundrels (dual hooked prop job) before and i didnt catch jack squat. i dont like em too much. but thats just my one experience with them.

havent seen any at any of the stores that sell tackle around me.

well i had a pack of some riverside worms mixed with power worms that i got at some fishing derby a long time ago. the riverside worms were BEAST!!!! they were definitley close to my favorite worms. sadly, i cant seem to find them or anything like them anywhere. the worms were ribbon tail worms about 10" long including tail, and the main body was about 1/2" think and it was triangular (i love long bulky worms) the tail was also thin wedge shape, it was thick (for a tail) but not near as thick as the body and the tail had "RIVERSIDE" stamped onto it. the body had slanted grooves pointed toward the tail but only on the top two sides, the bottom side was smooth. anyone familiar with what im describing? could anyone give me a link or company name or anything to where i could get my hands on some more (even if they are knockoffs) here is a pic of my last worm: not sure if this is a good enough picture to distinguish the worm, but my dad stuck this pig with one of the river side worms im talking about:

ya done it again craid. great job! keep it up! whod'da thunk there'd be bass that big in a CREEK!!!

nice job mrs. bizz. cant say the same for jay you said it was the mattlures shad, not minnow? where can i find the shad? (shad is pre rigged one right?)

i wonder if the handles turn and if the freespool lever works ;D ;D ;D

ive seen a show on that channel where they target hugenormous stingrays in some river and they they got really big catfish in nets. i also saw a show on national geographic about snakeheads. pretty cool considering they outbreak originated right in the waters i fish. they went to indonesia or someplace and caught snakeheads on buzzbaits to test em to see if they were the same kind that were in our waters. lol i thought it was cool they used buzzbaits instead of cutbait. ;D

probably not, but youre not gonna get in trouble for it, they will
