  1. I seen him eyeballn me a few times but I let it go!!
  2. LOL You guys are right!!1 WHEW!!! Sorry I didnt mean to hijack the thread
  3. The hardest thing about bass fishing is hopping on one leg while having your foot come out of your shoe when stepping in all of the BS that these guys talk when bass fishing. >
  4. Oh my god!! It was a spaze move- I didnt know what the heck happened. I was floundering and screaming underwater,My buddy almost peed his pants when he saw that.Let me tell ya my hands were outright with the camera maybe in 8 ft of water-my body was horizontal didnt seen that little basstid and he take a bite YIKES!!!!Dont try that at home
  5. It is very hard to determine weights of fish like that unless you have something to scale them to. They are without a doubt some spotzillas -Compare them to the other fish around them- they are much larger but I would have to say the smaller spots could be in the 3 lb range which could make those larger spots in the 6 lb range. AGAIN THIS IS JUST AN OBSERVATION. I have filmed bass underwater and do you see whats going on down there??? Those bass are just as curious of us as we are to them. When diving with tanks the bass scatter when you exhale abruptly but if you exhale slow and steady it doesnt bother them at all. The diver there was wiggling his finger -I have also done that and scratched the under chin of bass.It didn't mind at all. Once in a while they will nip your fingers just to test ya. The scariest thing that has ever happened was the water was cold -my nips were out and a sunfish bit one- It scared the living hell out of me and hurt. my partner had to surface from laughing so hard.That is a true story.. Even if you have no scuba equipment-go by a mask and snorkel-You will be amazed at what you see under water.
  6. Dozer puts a little dab behind his ears before he goes out Friday nights-he dosent get lucky but when he wakes up there are 50 cats outside his windows.
  7. Just make sure you guys stop over to see our new product line..We will hook you guys up-dont worry.
  8. Actually-when I wasnt posting much Iwas very busy- I developed some new products for ICAST -some new R&D for Megastrike- A new plastic line-About 80% is finished- The New SHAK-ELITE or SHAK-E3 is in the works for unveiling at The Classic. The New StrikeBack SpinnerBait. Dont let anyone kid ya -doing this kind of work is trial and error.If it dosent swim right or track right-its back to the drawing board. It takes a lot of money and time to do it. Every dime I take in goes back into developing new product. REMEMBER WHAT I SAID ALMOST EVERY TIME ON HERE "I AM JUST LIKE YOU GUYS" . NO silver spoons here-I was born and raised in the Bronx NY and had nothing except great parents and family.Anyway my mother always told me "Find a job you love-and you will never work a day in your life" I live by that every day. OK leave me alone !!! Glenn What do ya think-get a spread sheet of Classic contender names- have guys pic a contender- guess weights and fill in the blocks -if they go over in weight- your out. Do something instead of bustn my butt all day. LOL
  9. Big O it was actually an all natural crystaline-that I added to the Megastrike gel- It took be a long time to research it. Mother nature is amazing.
  10. If I left the rankings would skyrocket-Anyone want to pay my entry to bass fishing home Page- GLENN???? DOZER?? TRITON MIKE????? I think there would be a line around the block.
  11. Nah-That wasnt us.That company is no longer in business. Ive got some new ideas coming in the next year,-I have so much new stuff going on I dont even know what day it is.
  12. Get the Bass Resource members to sign up and pick a contender- guess the winning weight or whoever comes closest and he wins some prizes like some gift packs from some board sponsors-Dozer -Triton Mike-Rattlehead-JJ-Rob Faddis are ya in on this one ??? Just a thought figuring you are doing nothing but freezing your butt off out there.Only one entry per member-i'm sure you will get some response.
  13. We were at one Bassmasters Classic in Pittsburg-It was a Union Hall Venue-We had our product in boxes- 12 boxes-on the loading dock-these guys walk up to me and said we will get that- They put it on a cart and moved it 70 feet to our booth-I hand the guy a $20 dollar tip-he hands me a bill for $400 and some odd dollars. I said whats this-he said this is a union hall and we have to move everything- I ripped it up in front of him and laughed.-I didn't pay it.The guy across from me had his stuff moved in and gave him a bill of 1100 dollars. He said the same thing-. At ICAST we wanted a banner hung over our booth- The union guys came over and said $750 to put it up and $750 to take it down-I said eat me. So i'm not getting on the union guys but the venues and in certain places they dont let you know about the hidden costs. Just a note. Whew -I need a cigarette and i dont even smoke.
  14. This will be my 7th BassMasters Classic Show. The last 2 years I had a wedding on one and a show already booked on the other. The one before that we were at was in Alabama. Don't let anyone kid ya either. These Bass Masters classic Shows are hit and miss. The last few were good but like the one were were at at Lake Wiley- we and other vendors lost their @sses-there was no one at the show. -. The Bass Masters Classic Show is the most expensive show in the circuit- its more of a tourist show than a retail show. Cmon $1500 + bucks for 3 days-ICAST is cheaper-now get a 20 foot booth and your're at 3100 bucks.By the time you fly 5 people -hotels cars -food drink- shipping booths-product- its a fortune. Everyone's looking for free product and we give out plenty- the hotels rape ya-the venues rape ya-the union guys rape ya-ya walk home with a limp and a STD. Is it worth doing yes for promotional purposes . The guys at Bassmaster do promote the shows.Its up to the visitors to attend.I have one classic contender we are sponsoring and I'm buddies with a lot of the others- its good to see everyone-like i said anyone who is anyone is there.Ive got new product launches to show the attendees.We are busy at every show we do-its all scheduling. We have 14 shows to do this year starting next week into March.Its a long time on the road. Pick and choose your battles I always say. Some are worth doing some arent.
  15. Evo 2 head without skirt Our new company slogan"-Megastrike -WE SELL COOL"
  16. Berk, The New Megastrike smells pretty fishy.I have a new ingredient in there from South America that is very innovative as a food. We can actually put it in a salt water tank and the coral open up and feed.Yes that's right and I tell absolutely no one what it is.It was given to me by a gentleman that raises high end species of fish. That and the amino acids seem to be a catalyst for feeding.AGAIN the bass aren't coming across the lake because you have MegaStrike on it so guys calm down I know whats coming. Let them inhale that bait and you tell me how long they hold on to it.One day I've got to get this tape I have converted to DVD of some of the demos we have done in tanks at sport expos-pretty cool viewing.As for the Evo Jig. The Evolution Jig is a total renovation from the traditional jigs that have been on the market for the last 40 years. After a few years of really testing it-the bait shines in open water more football head type applications.-rocks -roadbeds-docks- stumps-stump fields. I redesigned the Evolution Jig and made it what I and other believe to be the top of the line jig. The EVO 2. Smaller in profile(went to lead) better penetration and retrieve in heavy cover-Heavy duty flipping hook-heavier fluorocarbon weed guard-powder coated-and stands up.Oh yea I forgot $2.00 cheaper a pack-Tin is $9.48 a pound not feasible to work with any longer. So it depends on your application on which jig to use.Decide for yourself.
  17. OUCHHHHHHHHH!!!! Speed -you going to the classic?????
  18. Lets rephrase that -great price on a great bait
  19. Its a smallie- the color changes according to its environment ,surroundings or habitat . It also changes color based on moods -water temp and stress levels.
  20. Dozers'largest fish ever????
  21. So my crew and I are down in Alabama a few years ago working at the Bass Masters Classic Show. . The place is packed-people everywhere-having a very productive show. Saturday afternoon four of my staff and I are at our booth and I look up and see this guy checking out the product on the table. He looks at me and I look at him-he was a long haired hippie type. I sad Holy $hFG what the heck are you doing here-He said what the F*&^ are you doing here. My guys are saying who the heck is this guy. This happened to be a buddy of mine I haven't seen in 12-14 years. He lived in my home town and we all knew each other and friends ect. Well after the man hug he says" yea Mark said ya got into the tackle business-then I asked him what he was doing there . He said he was the piano tech for Billy Joel for the last 10 years and they were on tour down there. I said holy crap- he asked when we were going home and he would like me and my guys to to to the concert. I said we are leaving Sunday night after the classic. He said bummer you wont be able to make the concert. .We hung for a while talking and stuff and he gave me his cell number and said keep in touch. Meanwhile Sunday comes and there is a huge ice storm in NJ -all flights are cancelled - I look at my helper Hiawatha and said let me give Jerry a call. I call him and said DUDES Meet me at 630 at the Birmingham Arena- 630 comes and he takes us all back stage- unfreakin believable-i got to tap a few keys on the piano-I cant play it but it was cool. We hung there meeting everyone then right before the show starts he brings me and my guys to 3 rd row center. What a cool way to end a classic show-2 classic shows in one weekend. Very good time . Thanks for the ear. Thank you again Jerry -It was a chance of a life time.
  22. If you are coming stop by our booth-Big O make sure we see each other.-Got some questions for ya.
  23. If i had a boat available there I would jump on the opportunity to watch the contenders.First guy I'd watch is IKE. Next KVD- next Dozer- woops my mistake
  24. I told you Dozer loved me
  25. That guy you gave it to called me and said there was a bobber attched to it.
