nice work but why the nails?

hey guys, had a busy week, thanks for the replies!

best line ever. nUgZ, you are Chuck Norris.

thanks guys. 14' jon. and yeah, pickerel are way fun to catch. they fight so hard! i hooked a 19" pickerel last summer that i coulda swore was a 6 or 7 lb bass until i saw it. not to mention the 4+ lber i hooked this spring. i brought that sucker right up to the boat and even had my hand under its belly, but in my attempt to lift it, the hook came out (they always seem to do this w/ pickerels) and as i lifted, it slid right out of my hand. this thing was over 2.5 feet, easily.

went out on the lake yesterday. had a pretty good day all in all. when we first got on the lake, i tossed my yozuri jerkbait over and started trolling as we were on our way to the other end. well not even 5 or 6 minutes into it, i hooked up with a bass. tiny one, like 12" or less, but pretty cool it was so instantaneous. then, the real kicker, after that happened, i started trolling some more and within 5 minutes hooked up again! this time it was a good fish. i had nearly 2/3 of my spool out for trolling, and this bass made one helluva jump that far out. it was really cool. fought it all the way to the boat, really fun fight. 3lbs 4oz: then we fished for a little over 2 more hours without even a bite. it was bogus. we decided to move to the other side of the lake where it was just a giant field of dying lilies (they were a few inches under the surface and all wilted up). water over here was pretty shallow, 2-3 feet. shortly after fishing around here (tossing a t-rigged trick stick), i hooked up with a fighter. it smashed my worm right as it hit the water, and put up one nice fight. i figured it was a pickerel from the way it was fighting. turned out to be my biggest pickerel (although earlier in the spring i hooked a MASSIVE pickerel from this lake, that could have easily went 4lbs). 21", 2lbs even (please excuse my looking like a homeless person/crack addict in this pic ;D): this sucker had a fresh bluegill in its gut. you could clearly see the outline of it, though it didn't really show up well in the pics: after this i ended up catching 3 more bass (all around a foot long), and my dad got a smaller pickerel about 14 inches or so. it was good to get out there and catch a few for a change...

hahahaha figured this would happen. but this one really isn't that great of a video anyway... just thought it was kinda interesting.

it got its #&%@ *$#*^&

haha ok ok so last time it was a joke to see your response, i got at kick out of it at least... ;D but this one really is pretty neat:

Always follow these rules www.safenow.org

quit.

2 times and i figured it out

wow this really sucks cuz i know most of the guys that use DN really swear by it. i was thinkin of trying some out myself, guess i'm not now! haha ;D

before you know it you will be buying an airbrush :

i read the wiki article about it and it just went over my head :-? could someone give a brief nutshell description of what net neutrality is?

ha, i turned it in today (late) and still got a 100. awesome. ;D

i've got a pair of Red Wings, but they're just a little tight, i can still wear them though. i'm gonna give these Kodiak's a shot. $29.99 for a $130 pair of boots its worth a shot. also, they're Canadian, that may be why you haven't heard of them.

haha i wish my teacher would actually teach us! she spends like 10 min going over an entire chapter and expects us to get it. doesn't help that she stands in the way of my view of the board. and i'm not sure sure that explanation was supposed to be turned into comic relief, i think there is some mathematical thing that happens, but i really had no clue so i figured i'd make the best of it! ;D

i've heard of it being done, but never done it myself. i would suggest if you are going to do it try using a heatgun to warm up the bill, instead of a flame. if you must use a flame use it carefully because it would be really easy to burn the plastic. only problem with using a heatgun is that the heat is not as pinpointed as it would be with a candle flame, and the heat will be focused on an area about the size of the entire bait... hmmm i dunno, give it a shot both ways i guess.

win.

thanks daviscw 8-)

yikes thats a ginormous picture! anybody know how to fix that?

you guys think its right?

thanks guys. you can't really tell from the pics but the colors i used are metallic silver, metallic copper, black, and white. the metallic doesn't really show through in the pics.

what do you guys think of them? i'm about to get a pair.

repainted this a while ago, never got around to taking a pic. i tried something different with painting the eyes. i like how it turned out. my friend looked at this and called it s#^@faced shad ;D.
