Quitlimpin

Spro Frog on spinning rig=potential(likely) heartbreak. I toss mine on a H/F flipping stick with 65lb braid.

I am as left handed as the day is long. So naturally, I cast & reel with my right hand.

I have to agree on this one. But I never get tired of seeing a Great White flying out of the water and blowing a seal in two.

Seems about right. It sppears as though Fedor has been ducking the UFC since Pride shut down. I'm sure the prospect of fighting Brock doesn't seem too inviting. Especially after he practically KO'd Mir from half guard. Overeem, Buentello & Rogers as top notch competition.....hardly.

http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=9266&zoneid=13 Glad to see Vitor back. It's been long overdue. Should be a nice fight with Franklin. All we need now is Fedor, Mousasi & Babalu(if they'll have him back).

This place is awesome!! Thanks to all for the wealth of information & responses. Even if nothing at all gets done to keep this from happening again, I'm gonna go down swinging. I work alot of hours so having a close to home fishery is something that I am willing to fight for.

Gee...what a surprise. Is there anybody left?

Glenn: Thanks for the link. Looks like that's exactly what happened. Rhino: Looking back on my Sunday trip, I definitely remember thinking that there was alot of algae in the upper part of the water column. I just didn't think anything of it. Did a little research on the pond. It is a community lake on Moore city property. It is in an addition, but the HA has no authority & all homes are facing away. It's about 8 years old and was dug out to build an overpass for I-35. I am going to get in touch with someone at Parks & Recreation. I also work on a fleet of trucks for the OK Dept. of Wildlife, and Dept. of Agriculture. Plan on seeing if I can get them involved as well.

Welcome!! Love me some Austin--capitol of cool.

Rhino & Glenn: That makes me feel a little bit better. The blue "gunk" that I saw last week was really bright--almost torquise. I just assumed that there was no way that it was a natural occurence. In your experience, does it kill off the entire pond? Any chance that a decent population will have survived? The pond is decent sized--prob 5-7 acres.

I had some spooled up for a few trips on a Revo SX. It handles ok and casts great. I can't quite put my finger on why, but I'll stick with Suffix/PP. Maybe it's that it just doesn't feel as tough....

After searching for 2+ years after moving to OKC I finally found a great pond. It's about 5 minutes from my house and is(was) full of nice sized largemouth. My best catch was around 4-4.5lb. Rolled up this afternoon ready to go, and the closer I got there was a foul stench. The entire shoreline was littered with thousands of LMB, Bluegill and one 25-30" Cat. :'( Fished it exactly a week ago and there was a blue gunk builtup on the top of the water along the North bank where the pond dumps into a creek. Fishing was pretty slow. I definitely knew that this wasn't good, but didn't pay it a whole lot of attention. Fished it on Sunday, and got skunked for the first time. I was even thinking of ...gulp....finesse fishing. In the pics, anything that you see on the surface is a dead fish. Hard to tell on crappy cell phone pics, but the LMB in the last pic looked to be a solid 5 lb'r. Thanks for reading my rant. I guess the search is on for a new pond.

Dude, that's brutal. I've been trying a shorter flippin stick, and so far I think I like it. Falcon Cara Amistad--7'3". It's still pretty fast at the tip, but when it loads up it's a hoss.

That's kinda what I was thinking. What the hell is that thing?

Welcome!!

Baby 1-. Bang it into any structure you can find. Also love a clear tiny torpedo for topwater.

Wacky 5" Senko=$$$$$ for LMB

Welcome!

Tailspins. Cast a mile and cover a ton of water.

That turtle woulda been the proud owner of a new rattle trap if it were me. Last week I caught a roof turbine on a c-rig. Big sweepin hookset right into the blades. I'd say it was a solid 8 lb'r ;D.

1. Rayburn--Single most frustrating, rewarding, aggrevating, awesome body of water I've ever fished. 2. OH Ivie--Grew up fishing here. Full of lunkers. Top notch white bass fishery as well 3. Falcon--Never been. Hope to change that this fall

So true. I have liked Favre less and less since his first "retirement" gone awry.

With all the carp that goes on in professional sports, the fact that Pete Rose has not been reinstated is ridiculous. I hope that soon we will get to watch his HOF induction speech.

Nice report. What a chunk!!
