I battled him for an hour today at bass pro shops in Nashville. He was really pushing me for some lucky craft wake baits, but I said NO! I was also cut off by the E21 Carrot Stix Pro from Ontario, whoever that is. I didn't recognize his face as he cut me off with his Yukon. What a nice way to treat someone that helps pay for all his free stuff. I also saw Gary Yamamoto standing in the parking lot at bass pro putting some oil in his RV. I would have stopped to get an autograph but I had to pick my GF at the airport. All in all it was a pretty exciting day.

sounds like u had fun

Who woulda thought Gary Yamamoto in Nashville, TN?

guess he was just making a pit stop at BPS for some motor oil

You may have won the battle, but you will never win the war.

I have to admit, that the bait monkey never really, has had a hold on me...  I usually pimp slap the hell out of that little guy, and tell him to go back to his closet!    Maybe someone should start a BMA (bait monkey anonymous) or something? lol

you cannot stop the bait monkey.  you can only hope to contain him! ;D

the bait monkey controls me lol im having issues

You may have won the battle, but you will never win the war.

;D Spoken in true bait breath fashion!

(I am typing this as he is breathing down my neck in regards to a Revo Winch)

Most of us are victims of the "Curse of the Bait Monkey" whether we want to admit it or not, IMO:o)

So what is the score? I bet the monkey is ahead by a 10-1 margin.

I like the little guy. He's been talking to my wife. She asked me how much I needed from the rebate check for the new split grip rod I wanted................life is good.

Now I just have to make up my mind, which one do I want to get.

Falcon

hey!

u guys  r hurtin mi feelings. we frends, i jus tri 2 hep.

we got sum monie, yes?

we go shoppin.

I've found that the monkey is good at burning thigns...like holes is my walet.

Whenever I go to the local baitshop, the bait monkey wins EVERY TIME!  I can never go in an come out with what I wanted...I always seem to find something I can't live without.

i find it hard to even go walmart for bread and milk without going to the fishing section and atleast getting something. it's only $5..... a couple times a week....

The Bait Monkey got me the other day online shopping at BPS.

im slowly buying fewer fishing items

or as the monkey puts it...saving for more expensive stuff

That is aweome!! I too pride myself when I walk into a local tackle shop and walk out without buying a single thing and therefore beating the baitmonkey?

So is the score something like:

BassAwkards: 1

Baitmonkey: 1000

I dare not display my scoreboard! ;D

You can't win so stop fighting it just give up

The monkey rules 8-)

You may have beat the baitmonkey, but you still lost. Those baits are awesome.

I hate the bait monkey!!!!!!!  I have a perfectly good Calcutta reel I was going to trade and get a Revo!!!!!!  now the bait monkey says I have to keep the Calcutta in case I go saltwater fishing, and I have to have a Revo as well.......  darn him- I just can't disappoint de monkey........
