To everyone saying, "Even though he cheated, he still helped raise alot of money so hes not a bad guy". He raised money. Alot of money. I don't think anyone is hating on him for that. Everyone is more upset that everything he was about is a lie. The reason livestrong made So much money is because he was the face of the organization. A face that beat cancer and overcame so many obstacles during his rise to the top of becoming the best cyclist in the universe all without performance enhancing drugs.Without that story livestrong wouldn't be as widely known or had raised as much money as it did because lance Armstrong would be just another cyclist. Because without the drugs he wouldn't have achieved the great amount of success that he did and put Livestrong on the map. No one is mad at what he did, just mad at the way he did it.

Bingo! If memory serves me correctly, Oprahs average show draws 330,000. Lances interview? over 4 million. Money talks!!

I use the L amp for crappie fishing in creeks. For a 25$ rod I love it!!

Just as confident with my bps graphite/ PQ as I am with my crucial/ citica. To each their own. I would also be wiling to bet more people would invest in a reel over rod if funds were limited when buying a combo. As long as your catching, I doubt the fish care what its with. Tight lines!

I have 3 BPS Graphite rods that I love. I feel jigs just fine with them and never have a problem with backbone. I will buy more when I need another budget rod. For what its worth I really dont put much stock into rod sensitivity. I know I am WAY in the minority on this but its just my personal opinion. I feel like lures and presentation play a much more important role than a 50$ rod vs a 150$ rod. Reels are another story. I feel you should buy the best you can. Thats another answer for another topic though. Buy either and you will be satisfied. Personally I would go with the BPS.

I personally think he was just embarrassed of having a girlfriend he had never seen. Maybe he didnt want to feel criticized by his peers for being in love with a woman who he has never even seen with his own 2 eyes. I do agree though that if this is the case, he should have owned up to it already because it is only going to get worse the longer this junk goes on.

Oh and BTW, the job market here is excellent! Research DFW a little, you never know!

If Texas isnt out of question, check it out. There are plenty of places to check into. DFW has anything you need/ want in a hometown. Good thing is you are no more than an hour away from anything whether it be on the outskirts of Dallas or Fort Worth. HEB is consistently among the tops in the USA in schools if you plan on having children one day. I can also GUARANTEE YOU that you will NOT find better looking women than in Texas. Thought that might help since your single haha. You are an easy 1 1/2 hours from lake Fork. There is also decent fishing closer by depending on where in DFW you choose. Not sure if its true but I have a couple of friends from NY who say the difference in peoples attitude towards eachother here in Texas compared to NY is day and night. One of my buddies actually moved back for 2 years and then came back home to stay for good because he hated it up in Elmira so much. Everyone here is very friendly and will make you feel at home. No way I would ever leave Texas!!!

I havent been nor will I be out fishin until spring due to a broken finger. Really doesnt bother me since I have recently grown to hate cold weather. I just placed an order at TW to stock up for the spring. Other than terminal tackle and line, I really only ordered 2 things. 15 1/4- 1/2 oz Red Eye Shad and 8 MegaStrike Strikeback spinnerbaits. This will be my first go with MS spinnerbaits but I figure if they are even half as good as the Cavitrons, They will catch fish. Obviously I have more lures rigged up but these get the most play up until I'm looking deep with big worms and Jigs in June. What are your most productive spring time presentations?

4/0 Gammy offset EWG with a pegged weight from 1/4-3/4 oz depending on conditions. Pit Boss is one of my all time favorite lures!

Even though they dropped it, it still makes me think twice. Starting that whole mess in the first place shows where their true intentions really are. This really disappoints me. I think I might order from TW for my annual income tax pre season purchase.

12 lbs yo zuri all day errrday.

I love rage craws of course. My best producer as of this winter is the strike king finesse football jig in whiskey craw with a baby rage craw. Has been dynamite so far.

My thoughts exactly. Zoom does offer a super hog. Look em up, maybe they will work for you. Otherwise I would suggest using a weight, or a heavier one.

I'm going big o all day. I would love to get on some of those falcon SLOBS! Kvd would be up there too. My biggest weakness is deep cranking. I think he might be able to teach me a thing or 2. Gerald swindle as well. He would be a blast to fish with!

I'm pretty sure the pic he is talking about was caught with a kvd 2.5. Must have been a typo?

Kvd 1.5. I have more confidence in this bait than any lure ever invented.

My number 1 beaver style is a pit boss. They are ribbed on the bottom similar to the d bomb. A grew others that I feel should be mentioned are the kvd rodent and rage tail menace. The menace is not a traditional beaver style but it is compact and great for flipping/pitching/punching/jig trailer. if you want just a little more action, I would give it a look.

As long ad the lenses are polarized, anything you like will work great. I wear oakleys personally and find them to be WELL worth the 140 I paid. I also have a pair of berkleys from wal mart I paid 20 for that do the job as well. I wear those more than the oakleys because I'm afraid of losing or breaking them lol.

Least year is the only year I have bed fished. I did well with a rage craw on a shakey head. Stands the claws up in the fighting position.

For slower falls I too switch to a larger trailer. Usually works for me.

Rage recon in falcon lake craw. Worms are proven in any body of water so if I had to use one for the rest of my life, that would be my plastic of choice.

Well, The Thursday before Christmas I dislocated my pinky finger playing basketball. It really didnt hurt all that bad, just a little weird to see my bone looking like it wanted to poke through my skin. I might have said F a few times and that was about it. I hopped in my car and drove to the hospital because I wasnt sure what exactly was wrong at the time. Long story short, the doc looked at the Xrays and said no Tendons were damaged. He gave me a digital block, which by the way hurt 43 times worse than actually dislocating it. After my finger was numb he reduced it and wrote me a script for some pain meds and anti inflammatory. The doc never gave me a time frame. Just gave me a doctor to follow up with. The D/C nurse though said she would guess roughly 6 weeks though. I never went to see the doc the next day because I figured if there were no Torn Tendons and it wasnt broke, whats the point of missing work and paying for another Doc to tell me the same thing the ER nurse already told me? All has been well other than bumping it on things a couple times a day and having it hurt for a minute or 2. Fast forward to yesterday. I was walking by the couch carrying a box outside to the curb and my pinky, which is in a splint sticking straight out and Im not used to that, clipped the side of the couch and bent away from my ring finger. It instantly felt like I had dislocated it again. Alot of pressure and a dull pain. I stood there for a second and started feeling on my finger to see if the bone felt out of place or was visibly deformed. After a few minutes the intense pain went away but then I started getting purple-ish lines around my knuckle where I was feeling and lightly squeezing when I was checking it. It is still swollen but not hurting really anymore. I need to be more careful though I know. How long does it take for something like this to heal enough where I can take the splint off and it be functional. I took the splint off to see it and I cant even bend it at all. I would have thought with it only being dislocated I would be able to see SOME improvement in 2 weeks time. Maybe Im just rushing it because it is interfering with work and fishing.

Wranglers Relaxed Straight. Roomy enough yet not too baggy and they last a while. Before I lost 30 lbs the "Loose Straight" was what I wore. Back before I gained all the weight in the first place, I wore Levis. I loved them too. I had 3 pairs that lasted me a year or so. Went from a 36 to a 40 nearly 42. Tried finding levis that fit and they were extremely uncomfortable. Levis are not for fat people!

X2. I do the exact same thing. It is by far the best system that I have ever seen or used. I'm pretty sure those boxes were described as line storage boxes but they work for a lot of different things because they are so spacious. if I'm not mistaken I think I can fit around 25 bags of plastic in just 1 container. then I put that Plano box along with four others inside a tackle bag that I bought from Academy.
