No Carpenters, Pink or Kelly Clarkson? You're a communist. I can see bizz rocking out to Backstreet Boys... He kind of looks like he was in a boy band at one point.

The artists in my recently played list in iTunes: Prince Mostly metal. But I dabble in other music too. ;D I just lost all respect for you. Want some grapes?

Still really hurting, I woke up in the middle of the night last night because of the pain. I don't know if I'm still hurting from the bite, infection, or where they cut me open (such a awkward spot lol). Still nasty though, have to go back next week. I need to get better for the NEPVA.

4bizz and I were discussing this last night. As he pointed out The issue is a hook-set. I use a Gammy split shot/drop-shot hook 1/0 that I just reel up on and don't jerk or anything (My smallie landing rate has really gone up a lot too). Now try just reeling up on a fish that has eaten a jig, you won't get too many fish in the boat. A fully exposed lightwire hook on a tube would work much better imo.

That really strikes me as funny since you said in the other thread that you have no issue back seating a co-angler until after you have your limit. I hope you remember hoping for a lucky draw, next time you have a co-angler with you. No I just wanted a guy that was on fish. Not one of the guys that is fishing an area resembling the Sahara Desert. And nice job catching me on that, I just ate my own words a bit. :-[ ;D

I really like Loomis'drop-shot rod (6'10" spinning) and it's pretty much all I have been using. But I really don't want to drop 250 on another. The Carrot and Croix rod's were a little too stiff for my liking. Has anyone used the Loomis and say the Crucial or another brand drop-shot rod. I'm looking for a back-up that is close to the Loomis but don't feel like dropping that much money.

As much as I love the Sox, they have a brutal road ahead and unless they have a horse-show lodged up there it isn't happening. But who knows. I really think the Cubbies are going to do it this year.

I think there is nothing more fun hen seeing a decent sized fish on the scope in deep water (40+). Then seeing your line on the screen, seeing the fish dive for it, then zzzzzzzzzz. But fishing bridge pilings with it is my favorite thing to do. If there is a bridge on a lake, chances are you will see me near it at one point in the day.

Your way off Bizzle, I mean come on. The two worstbands in history are Boston and Van Halen.

If I remember correctly, I think we have their number in the post season. Don't sweat it.

I'll have to see when it comes in, have not gotten mine yet.

Karma is all I can say.

That, coming from a fly-fisherman?

No when you get a good concentration of fish on a breakline, point, or hump you can ish it horizontal and get them.

Ya, it's part of the Rhine River system.

I think i saw that on the bathroom door of a gentleman's club once. Ya, call Mrs. Peters.

I have this undying hatred for you.

Only needed 45 on 4 days though, doesnt sound too good. ;D The again I'm spoiled..

Banana's in the boat No net on the deck until the first hook-up

With the drive and registration (Thursday) I would be gone from Weds to Sunday night/Monday morning. I have never driven that far and would want another day to travel don't want to fall asleep or anything. And I have to take time out this week because I got a spider bite that got infected and had to get cut open. I'm stuck in bed and can hardly walk. So I just don't think there is any way to pull it off.

Have to around here This just came to mind.... http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1220406521

Tin, if you are talking about the annual Lake Champlain International Bass OPEN that took place on August 31 out of Mallet's Bay on Champlain, the winning weight was 24.72-lbs. This was all largemouth, and the lunker LMB 6.54-lbs. The second place team weighed in all smallies 21.77-lbs, with a lunker smallie of 4.50 pounds. Also, this tournament is a SIX fish bag, not five. Serach Google for "LCI Bass Open" to see the full results. I can't post a hyper-link here yet. No I was on there in the last week of July.

Yup. Works great around here, have to rig it absolutley perfect though. My only issue is pickeral and pike love it too. I have noticed I'm catching bigger fish in a couple of lakes off the docks and grass on this than I have in the past on a jig.

All I needed to do is finish in the Top 40. Had a great year and even though I missed a tourney on the Hudson River I finished 15 on the co-angler side. So I qualified, really really want to go, but can't because of school. Talked to 2 of my teachers yesterday and they won't excuse me. And all of my classes give you a one letter grade lower if you miss more than 3 classes. d**n education system >

Love a double-egg beater. The one's made my Hart are my favorite.
