If you catch so many big fish, that you feel it isn't sporting, or ruining yours, or some one else fishing experience in any way, then you can simply turn off the unit, or give it to me. I know of three lakes in Mexico, where someone with the skills to use the new technology might make O.H. Ivie, look like a dink fest. Unfortunately I don't have the finances or the time to take advantage of the opportunity to be first on the scene. AJ you have the skills, and knowledge of Lake Menderchuck, you might as well take it to the next level. You will not get another chance to be the pioneer on your water. Some one else will be the one to discover the true potential of Lake Menderchuck, and in my opinion that would be a travesty. Thank you for the support my friend, I truly appreciate it and can really use it. btw - the bold type is what my wife said to me yesterday. Almost verbatim. Been doing the R & D for two straight days. Going need a separate thread in the Marine Electronics forum so folks can follow the journey. Seems like it could be one wild ride. A-Jay 1 Quote

A-Jay You and your wife have worked an honest, clean, and noble life from all I know about you guys, both of you guys deserve to enjoy the things in life that truly make you happy and allow you to pursue the things that you are passionate and great at in life. That's the whole point of working hard, and honestly there should a reward for all the hard work and missed opportunities to pursue those things while earning a living. At some point you got to live your best life, you got to do the thing that you believe God put you on earth to do. Some people were put on this earth to catch big brown Bass ? Not to mention the fiscal argument is pretty easy to make when someone already owns a super nice modern Bass rig. FFS is peanuts in the grand scheme of the cost for that caliber of boat, and the associated costs with keeping it in tip top condition. If I had a front trolling motor, I'd have FFS tomorrow on a $500 Jon boat, maybe I'm not the best person to listen to ? 1 1 Quote

I have been using this rig for many years now even though I am able to fish out of anything I choose. I use it because I like it. My FFS cost way more than the rig did. I guess what I am saying is you can incorporate FFS into the rig you currently run. It doesn't matter if your trolling motor is bow or stern mount. You can even use a separate shaft dedicated to FFS if you want. So go out and grab you one and enjoy! 1 1 Quote

I'm NOT the guy that should be suggesting to you how to catch fish! Congrats! That was an awesome "EPIC" trip! I went Saturday an only caught four. Your bass could have eaten all mine! 2 1 Quote

Sure you are Bob, thanks for the very kind words but this place is so exceptional because everybody brings something different to the table. You bring a lot to the table here Bob, both fishing knowledge and comradery. The day I stop listening to tips from other great anglers, is the day I should probably stop fishing. You never know what sticks once you get on the water, best to take everyone's advice. That was the first time I got em like that, if I can repeat it I feel like it wasn't luck ? 4 Quote
