I think I did pretty good, My girlfriend told me not spend my money on stupid stuff.... so i didn't.

And also got to talk to some killer bass guys from left to right Bub Tosh, Dee Thomas, Gary Dobyns, Skeet Reese, Greg Guiterrez, Dave Rush. That was awesome

Hope that is 20 pounds or really good jerky ;D You could have bought 3 more Mattlures.

That deserves a round of applause.    

thats a boat load of jerky!!! it'd have to be dinosaur jerky or something for me to pay that much lol!!!!!

you made out well my friend. do you have a grand total on that stuff? i was thinkin of getting some r2s jigs, i wanted the junk grenades, but i decided not to go with them.

Are they hiring where you work,lol? ;D

Oh yea, and $50 for a license +2nd rod stamp

=$625 and I still had $25 for gas. Pretty sweet weekend all and all.

I've been going to this show since I was little with my dad and every year I look forward to the jerky ALMOST as much as I look forward to the booths. So I always get enough to last a few days ;D I think I got around 5#'s or so. It's well worth it though.

I was sure to put everything away and throw away any evidence away before my girlfriend, because there would be no round of applause for this one.

The R2S jigs are alright, I only got them because I had a coupon for a tackle shop after I bought my rod from them, so i bought some random stuff that I normally wouldn't buy.

what's a 2nd rod stamp?

good jerkey can cost more than $ 20.00 pound

in smaller pkgs..

5# for $ 60.00 is a good buy !!

oh yah..

nice fish-in stuff too.

What size of hook does one use to rig a 10' worm? :-?

in some states, they make you pay extra if you want to wet two lines at a time

Burley,,

 for me it depends on how big around it is,,

but usually 4/0 is pretty good,...

Very nice, that really does deserve a round of a plause

Thank you Mr. Burley.

I've actually been using the hooks from those giant Rapala Wall hangers.  I use 5 of them, one every 2 feet tied together with 100# braid.

Do you mean that if I am fishing more than one rod at a time I must pay extra? Please explain...

check your local states DFG rules

in california yes, you must pay an extra 12 bucks to have a second rod in the water.

to clarify further

you can carry 130 rods but only fish one at a time unless you have that stamp

Or....

Get your girlfriend (who doesn't fish) a license and 2nd rod stamp and bring her out with you so you can throw 4 rods out

The law only apllies to fresh water. You can use as many as you want in the salt. It is mainly geared towards the guys who fish for trout and catfish. Those fish are stocked for the purpose of taking home and eating.

Branuss04 Thank you for getting some of my gills.  

Also You will love the Mend-it!

Unfreakingbelievable!!!!!  LOL.  Now that is a screwed up State.  I'd hate to be a crappie angler there.  LOL.  

I got my 2nd rod stamp for the first time this year. $12 for it, which sucks!

Mend-It is awesome, you'll love it.
