I like the guys that seem to have all the right equipment then use a bobber so big a shark could not pull it down.

KVD is a great if not the greatest angler, but this AOY was a joke. KVD was not the best over the whole season Skeet was. i figured it out under the old point system. KVD was just better for the last tournament. I just feel Skeet got beaten out of the AOY by ESPN more than by KVD.

I agree, I thing they took a page out of the NASCAR how to screw up a championship handbook.

I think it sucks, but I was wondering what you think of the new "postseason" BASS has for the elite series.

I am looking to start a club in Cumberland county Tn (crossville) and if your interested please contact me.

try G2 custom apparel. the website is www.geminisportmarketing.com/custom-jerseys/ they have some cool stuff

I just moved to cumberland county TN and there are no local clubs. I am looking to start one. Please send me a message with your contact info if you are interested. Thanks

I am a retired cop from NYC and my first day on the job my capt. told me "cops are like stripers in a strip club. One third are hot, one third you could take or leave and one third nee to gat another job, and you need to decide which type you want to be."

I moved from NY to TN just over 3 years ago and I like TN's year round season compared to NY's season that runs from the 3rd Saturday in June to September 30th. But let me say that the fishing was MUCH better in NY than in TN and I wonder if it is due to the closed season which prevents you from fishing the spawn.

hay ranger73 I am currently looking for a club in your neck of the woods but cant find any. If you find one let me know or if you are interested and have a few friends maybe we could start one.

I am able to keep cold water fish because I have a cooling unit on the tank. I also set the whole thing up for way under a thousand. And if you buy a fish from a hatchery you do not normally have to worry about state laws.

OK. i have bass, walleye, cats, bream, trout etc in a tank at home and I have no problems and it is legal in all states reguardless what people think here. Here is what you do. You need to contact a hatchery or a place that stocks ponds. There you can buy any fish of any size regardless of the state law. just as if you were going to stock a private pond. They can also tell you the mix of fish you need and the size tank for what you want to hold (size number etc.). Next go to a GOOD pet supply store or a store that specializes in aquariums tell them what you are doing and they will set you up with the right tank and most importantly a filtration system. This is the most important thing. Fish produce ammonia and for example 5lbs of bass in 15gal of water will produce enough ammonia to be lethal in 4 hours regardless of well you oxygenate the water. If you do not cut corners you will have no problems with bad smells or dead loss. Let me know if you need anything else.

I think it depends on why you are joining a club. Are you in it for the tournament competition, to learn or both. What ever your intent you have to make sure that the club has the same agenda. One club i quit all they cared about was tournaments and were ultra secretive about fishing info. Also make sure the rules fit you. Some clubs have some screwed up rules. Most important I think is to see if you mesh with the current members. Good Luck.

Thanks to you all. The search ended sunday at about 3:30 when he was found. He was not wearing a life vest or dead man switch. Pleae guys wear your vests.
