^ crimping a weight on your hook (the way he has it rigged) would only encourage the bait to sit upside down in the water....

i have another baby bass coming up.....

if you haven't heard of it already (it seems to be very popular, i just heard of it) you should check out the Simon's Cat series of cartoons on youtube. they're genuinely funny http://www.youtube.com/user/simonscat

just checked them out. VERY DIFFERENT! wasn't expecting that. i think i could get to like this band It's some good stuff for sure. It's different...but amazing. yeah i got their two studio albums and their EP, i've been listening to it all night aaaaaaaand i definitley want to be a pirate now ;D

awesome.

bigtimfish likes them. hes got one in his avatar.

^ said it better than i could.

crankin

i didn't want to argue more about it because its obvious neither one of us will change the other's mind, but it is pretty ignorant. the vocalist in a metal band is using his vocal chords to make sounds (whether comprehendable or not ;D), that makes him a vocalist. the guys behind him are using instruments to play music (whether it sounds nice or not), that makes them musicians. the band as a whole writes and preforms songs, making them.....musicians.

my favorite mid depth cranks are Rapala DT's ;D

if you missed the story, my friend asked me to make him a junebug popper, that was 1", for the pumpkinseeds and rockbass and smallmouth. i said ok and the next day showed him pictures of the popper i made (pop-r style) and painted junebug color (with nailpolish). turns out he wanted a popper that imiatated a junebug beetle lol. so here is the revised version: 1" long:

thats just ridiculous... > i'd like to think they learned their lesson but something tells me they didn't............

i see you're getting lazy now lol. at first i thought "B's RPotD" was the artist who preformed the song i believe i can fly (i don't know my pop music lol! ;D) it wasn't until i opened the thread i realized it was an abreviation. i'm dumb ;D

i'm suprised nobody has picked Jazz...

all i gotta say about that is at least they had fun.... :-/ :

the spro looks stellar!

thats a great solution! think about it, people would be too scared to drive, emmisons would go down, those that were brave enough would drive safer, and the world would be a better place lol : ;D

T rig is short for Texas rig. to get you started: http://www.bassresource.com/beginner/Texas_Rig.html do some searching (on here and google) and you will find A LOT more info.

wow i have three packs of these and i have NEVER used them....i need to....

for texrigging weedlines, *** 7" Hookup, red shad, junebug, or green pumpkin.

......really dan?...........uncalled for....... : ;D

well the 4 inch shad has a great swimming action! i was very pleased with it. its got a real aggressive, zig-zagging, searching/fleeing action on the retrieve. it wakes the surface very nicely. on the puase it sinks about 1 foot per second and when twitched has a really good injured look. sorry for this crappy video, photobucket made it worse, but it shows the zig-zagging nicely fish approved

went out on St. Mary's lake with my dad this evening. i started out dropping an anaconda around fallen trees and tossing a spinnerbait all over the place. dad had on a DT6 and was casting it in the creek channel and getting frustrated with weeds. we moved up the creek into real shallow water and he snagged a nice red ear sunfish on the crankbait. it was about this time i decided to try out the action on my most recent bait (4", two piece shad). i was very pleased with the swimming action on it. on the retrieve it has an aggressive zig zagging action, and wakes the surface very nicely. at rest it slowly sinks a little slower than 1 foot per second. it has a nice injured look when twitched. here are some videos of the action, the second one is dark (photobucket really darkened it) but it shows the action best. after a few minutes of fishing the swimbait, i was waking it under the surface out in open water (over the channel in the creek) and then i killed it, let it sink a little bit, twitched it once or twice, and then i saw a bass come and just slam it. it was really cool! i continued to fish that lure for a long time, mainly because i like to watch it swim i had two fish swipe at it (didn't commit, don't think they even made contact with it), and then later in the night my dad and i were having a conversation about songs pertaining to drugs, and i was just relaxed, looking at the water next to me, and reeling in really slowly when a bass slammed the swimbait, and i (not paying a lick of attention to the fishing) freaked out and jerked the bait away oh well, i was happy that the fish were hitting on the bait. dad tied on a baby torpedo and on his first cast, he casted right up to the bank, under overhanging shrubbery, and twitched the bait once and then a bass came up and sucked the lure down he was pretty happy about that. he didn't get anymore fish the rest of the night once it started getting dark i tied on a popper (river2sea bubble pop or something...) and on my first cast, i casted right to the edge of some tall marsh grass, and probably 1-2 seconds after the bait landed, a bass sucked it down! didn't even get to twitch the bait. the bass wasn't to big (biggest of the night though), but put up a GREAT fight. (dad tellin jokes before he takes the picture.... :) i continued fishing the popper and by this time dad had on a DT01 and was waking the surface with it. he got one swipe but no takers. i hooked one small bass on the popper, but quickly lost it. later once it was dark i casted towards the grass again, and i got a backlash, so i let my bait sit in the water and just as i go to start picking out the backlash, i heard a nice splash, and i knew the fish took my popper, so i had to reel the fish in ontop of my backlash. caught the fish and got the backlash out next cast

Opeth is pretty good. i'm not a fan of how long their songs are though lol.
