I definitely agree with you on that. That reward challenge was interesting too... :

You're friend's are obviously biased. Those kind of hypocrites anger everyone, but what can anyone do about it? As you can plainly see, I'm a pats fan, but rules are rules and what has gotta happen to them is going to.

When you go to Quote, just delete the empty space's in what you're quoting.

Man, I have an urge to reply to that but it's not too "family friendly". : : I can definitely see it. The thing is OBVIOUSLY wearing camo..

The question was: "an adult largemouth would prefer which of the following over all others?". A largemouth would never give up a meal in search of another, that is common sense. But the question is referring to which food the largemouth would attack first, given they were in front of his face. Perhaps the direction this question was going in when it was asked was: "With that knowledge, a fisherman would/should chose a xxxxx instead of xxxxx type of bait."

Couldn't have put it better.

Chum is an option if you are going for cats

Welcome! You should probably start experimenting with your bait before you get all set with rod and reel, but that's just from my experience that learning is easier in the field . As for line, I'm not too picky. Trilene 10lb produces results for me in small ponds, and 14lb test is good for lakes. Be sure to stop in the "Beginners" and "Featured Articles" sections! ;D

Grubs work, but they catch a wider range of fish. People say senkos and spinners because they target bass in particular.

Start looking in shady spots on cooler days. Smallies like warm water but they feed where other fish hang out, cooler water. Find out where the trout and rock bass hang out, and you'll find where the smallies hunt. Good luck! ;D

http://www.bassresource.com/fish_biology/smart_bass.html Read that article, it brings up some interesting points on bass memory. I agree with the second argument, but both are good to read The basis for the myth that smallies warn each other was probably a marketing advertisement for live wells.

Bluegills, where I live, eat everything from slugs to senkos.

Be on Survivor. 4. Play something related to "The Most Dangerous Game". 5. Party like it's 1983. 6. Die doing something stupid, fun, adrenaline-pumping, and completely retarted. 7. "Go down in a Blaze of Glory". 8. Meet KoRn. 9. Participate in an underground Racing tournament. 10. Get a bike and drive to let loose.

No, thats just someone with good taste! NOT! NOT! sneeze-26-sneeze Just gonna have to wait another 86 years for the next tragedy.

I wonder if it's illegal to walk across the street, on your hands, while eating a pickle in Indiana... 8-)

It's not against the law if nobody finds out...- I mean... Why else would a Rapala have so many hooks?

Senkos and 4" grubs seem to do great when I go for smallies in my pond. They are sight hunters, so you would probably have better restults with a bait that "sticks out".

Nope, it started to rain yesterday so I couldn't go. I might try today but the latest I can stay until is 7:00.

Sounds like a good idea. I've been too lazy to dig up worms and have been trying chicken livers and have only been catching snapping turtles :-? . Might as well try it tonight. Thanks

That double catch must have been an interesting fight 8-)

Very nice. I've never fished in the Great Lakes before

Wanna trade tackle boxes? :

Right after the sun hits the trees until about an hour after it, I find crappie hit on tiny torpedos and other topwaters. I've never ben night fishing so sorry I couldn't help more :-/

Nice job on the fish ;D "A picture can tell a thousand words, but only a story has a moral"
