I remember when Nebraska beat Miami for the title, watching those Nebraska lineman stand on the sideline in the 4th quarter with their hands on their hips, while Warren Sapp laid on a bench sucking oxygen, a beautiful thing. Nebraska has the best strength and conditioning program in the country, which is why they always have a chance to beat ya.

I am eating crow today.

I dont think anything more needs to be said. Great advice!

For me, the sick feeling. I remember having my leather jacket with my car keys in it stolen at a comedy club 40 miles from home. Not fun. Having all your fishing gear stolen is much worse though.

I see you changed your post, hehe, good call. No way was he the worst QB ever! I think he will be ok though. He was basically a rookie last year, and for a rookie I think he did very well. Everyone forgets his games where he was great, and focuses on a few bad ones. I might eat my words later, but I really think he will do well this year.

Any thoughts on the game of the week? My prediction... Bears roll, 31-10 Da Bears!

Lou Holtz said it best, Appalachian State knows how to win. With 2 titles under their belts they have learned how, Michigan obviously does not. Bottom line, Michigan completely overlooked A state, and deserved to lose. Lloyd Carr let his team go in completely unprepared. Arrogance cost them plenty. Michigan is overrated every year, just like Notre Dame. And speaking of the two overrated teams, how fast did the Sept 15 Michigan - Notre Dame game drop off the map? Will anyone care outside of Lansing and South Bend? Personally, I think theres a good chance that this will be Michigan's first win. This coming weekend Michigan plays Oregon at the big house and Penn State plays Notre Dame at PSU, My prediction is for another Michigan loss, and Notre Dame will get SLAUGHTERED.

Same score, but in reverse ;) ;D ;D

bag of *** trick sticks, green in color, crippled killer topwater bait, bag of fat ika's.

That is awesome, I love that stuff. Thats all it takes too, one smallie and you are hooked! ;)

Start reading through the excellent guides listed under "Fishing Articles" on the top of the page, and when you're done, read em again. They have been a HUGE help to me. Also, ask around about the best places to fish locally and keep asking. Talk to people at local bait shops about where to fish and what works there, ask about lure techniques as well. They are usually founts of information and happy to help. Also talk to the people you meet while fishing, most fisherman are happy to pass on what they know. Keep in mind though, you will hear all kinds of different things.

IMO, its not nerve. It's just the way it is. They have every right to decide what happens on their property.

Wow, that says it perfectly, thank for the advice! This will help me a lot.

Where in Iowa are ya from smallfry?

Look at the bright side, now you're really due!

I have a fish eagle 2 that i really like. It is paired with a Cabelas prodigy casting reel. No problems at all.

Definitely the senkos. I caught a nice smallie a while back, took a pic and let it go, The next day at the same spot I caught another, then I saw the hook mark in its jaw. I took a pic and compared the two, sure looked like the same fish to me! I use trick sticks from ***. Better than the original senkos, or at least as good in my experience.

What a great day. Lending a hand and catching some fish, it don't get any better! Nice work! Those are some nice fish too!

That guy is unbelievable, and such a class act too. You just cant root against Randy.

The Minnesota record is 8lb even. My PB is 3lb 6oz, just caught today. ;D ;D ;D Tell ya what though, it looks a lot smaller in this pic than it did at the river!

People love to count Randy out. Before he fought Sylvia everyone thought that fight was a joke and Sylvia would wipe the floor with him...until he won. To be honest, I rooted for Sylvia because I'm from Davenport Iowa and I always root for the Miletich camp. I myself didnt think Randy had a chance. Now I just can't force myself to bet against him, but I do agree that he will definitely have his hands full. As far as Koschek, he is a very good fighter, I think he might edge this one out.

I do all the time for smallies in the Mississippi.

3 pounds is where it starts feeling like I hooked a stump after I set the hook. I have thought at times after setting the hook into a bigger one that I was snagged...then reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Gotta love it!

True story, my brother was talking to his 5 year old one day and asks him to remember something, dont remember what, and his son says "I'll remember dad! I got a pornographic memory!" All I can say is, like father, like son.

I use 5/0 gamakatsu ewg hooks for fat ika's, and 5/0 standard worm hooks for 5" senkos. 2/0 ewg for smaller tube baits and smaller senkos.
