I used to post on this forum a year or two ago before it changed. When it changed, some of the people that I used to look for stopped posting as much so I stopped coming here. I have just "refound" the greatness of this forum. There are SO many different people here, which makes for a wealth of information and helpfulness. There are kids as well as old-timers sharing their experiences and their points of view on this great sport. I am amazed at the friendliness and the helpful attitudes of all the people here. The people the advertise on this site don't just push their products or there service but actually get on here and post about things that are not at all related to their service, where else do you find that! This is the best bass fishing site on the internet as far as im concerned. With the assortment of articles and this forum I can't think of a better place to learn about this sport, well other than on the water. Another thing is the wealth of information the moderators have. And last but not least, kudos to Glenn on truly giving something back to the sport by running this site. I was just feeling like I had to give congrats to EVERYONE on this forum, for making it such a great place to learn about fishing. And also congrats and making it such a welcome place for beginning fisherman.

I agree Preston.  Nice post!

Careful, I have a Hellfire!!!! ;D

Couldn't have said it better myself Preston.

It is a special place,for sure!

I feel pretty much at home here.  Nice place.

Me too.  I usually visit a few other forums, and it really is a tie between my 2 favorites, and this is definitely one of them.

Cue the "Cheers" theme song

Great post Preston! You covered it all! Great people, great source of information and of course, great moderators and great host! Although I haven't been here all that long, welcome back!

Alright Preston what do you really want?  There must be a reason for that much sucking up.  I wish I could've said that well.  I agree 100%.  Nice post.

Preston,

I am new to the site also, and completely agree. If you can't fish, reading and talking about it are not bad alternatives. I've learned much since I've been coming here, and it is a great way to spend an hour or two. Welcome aboard.

Nice post Preston.  You mentioned how the advertisers also post on all fishing aspects, not just about their product.

This is a great place for a "special mention"

Dave, "reelmech", has also gone above and beyond to help folks with countless reel problems giving step by step instruction to help avoid a repair bill that might be avoidable.  

THIS IS HIS BUSINESS!  99% of people who own a repair business would reply with"send it in, I'll take a look".  Not Dave, if he feels he can help, he will, if it's a big job, that's another story but man,....giving away knowledge that you get paid for is extremely generous and I feel deserves a quick mention here.

Don't forget about his specials for members also.  

Same goes for all the guides here.

G WELCOME, L.D., etc-thanks to all you guys!

AND A MERRY XMAS TO ALL!!

And thanks for all you do LBH!

Hey shouldn't you be in that brown truck by now?

I need my........

Joking. Don't work to hard.

Merry Christmas

I agree this is absolutely the best place for me I dont fish tourneys and yet those who do share what they know pretty freely.

And ReelMech does his thing in the most professional manner while still paying his bills

 I dropped my subscription to IN FISHERMAN because it has become a marketing scam disguised as a source. Its a shame what greed has done to that club and its magazine I learned so much from it.Since Al Linder sold it it really switched its motive to $$$$$$bills.

Thanks...

I call it paying it forward........

I agree, this is one of the most friendliest sites around. Even this old dog learns a trick or two around here.

L.D.

I AGREE!!!

I ALWAYS WENT TO THE N.A.F.C. SITE BECAUSE I'VE BEEN A MEMBER FOR MANY YEARS. RECENTLY IT ISN'T AS MUCH FUN OR INFORMATIVE.

THANKS GUYS.........HAVE A HAPPY AND HEALTHY HOLIDAY SEASON.
