My 4 yr old never had the "terrible twos" or threes. He was a perfect angel and NEVER gave his mom and me any trouble. He is now 4 years old and lately has begun to be a real pain in the ars, which I'm almost certain I know why, but that's another story that has to do with my in-laws who like to spoil. The wife and I go out to breakfast this morning. I park the truck and open the back doors. I tell our son to go ahead and unbuckle his seatbelt and get out. The little sht looked straight at me and said "I don't think so. I'm NOT going!" With a very calm, soft voice, I said "Don't talk to me like that. Come on, lets go." LOL, he crosses his arms and turns his head away from me. I bit my lip and said "Son, I'm going to count to 3 and you had better be out of this truck. If not, then I'm going to spank you." I counted to three and he completely ignored me. It broke my heart, but I reached in, unbuckled the seatbelt and snatched his ars out of his seat. I stood him up in the parkining lot and gave him four, fast swats on the ars with my hand. He fought back the tears for about 5 seconds. Just as he started to cry from hurting his feelings (not from the ars pain, he was wearing a padded pull up.) I heard a voice from the next isle over. The voice was coming from a lady who said "I just saw you hit that kid and I'm calling the cops if you do it again." I replied "Mind your own business, you old hag." LMAO, My wife looks at me and says "really babe, Old Hag?" LOL, the lady was about 45 yrs old and I didn't want to say what I really wanted to call her so, for some reason, Old Hag is the first thing that popped into my head. Anyway, does anyone spank their kids? Is anyone dead set against corporal punishment? By the way, my son was the most perfect gentleman for the rest of the day.

. You beat me to it. There are rude people on both sides of the lake.

Where do you hear all this "stuff"? I've never heard any of it, anywhere. I have read plenty on this site about fishermen complaining about jet skis, water skiers, tubers, etc., being rude and buzzing too close to fishermen. Shall we also consider the gripes about the party barges? Truth be told, there are rude fishermen, and there are rude recreational boaters. Neither side is a bunch of saints. Pond/lake rage exists just like road rage.

Nice ramp. Should be no problem getting either boat in. Was there 2 days ago and caught a 3lber on a ribbet frog pulled thru the weeds. Have also had luck with ragetail babycraw on a swim jig along weedlines. Good luck.

But a horrible morning! Jeff

That's kind of sketchy. How does a rod company in 2012 not even have a website?

This makes me glad I don't live out there. Also since you live on the east cost. You will have you know who on tv all the time. I refuse to say his name. I don't hate the kid. I just hate the way the media treated him. It was like a Green Bay qb a few years ago here in WI. It got out of hand way quick. The local stations were even playing jets games. Yea were 1500 miles away form new york and we had to see them games. I heard on the Dan Patrick show a few months ago. That the NFL has made it so Payton and whats his name. Will never play at the same time. Yea tell me how bad the the press will milk them two this year.

Geeeez, I saw 104 and was getting ready to sing Happy Birthday to you.

One of the guys in my club has 3 smokes and said the gears in 2 of them were destroyed after only 3 or 4 months of fishing. I've never had an issue with quantum so I think they may have been some kind of fluke, but who knows. The thing you should do is grab a abu garcia veritas instead of a mojo bass. I have two veritas rods a 6'9" MH and a 7' H and they're amazing for only $100 bucks.

"Real athletes, not anglers", "Real angling, not fresh water" - Excuse me but these professional anglers are REAL ATHLETES and fresh water anglers are REAL ANGLERS as much as any salt water angler.

4.5 pounder on Smith Mountain this morning on a Z-man Green Pumpkin Carolina rigged worm. Topwater was explosive this morning around 6:30 but nothing over 2 pounds. They eat up a Spook.

This rod is THE BOMB!

The Lamiglas SR705 is great cranking stick.
