Way to go Vinny that is a great Bass for Minnesota!

X2 or you can do like I did and buy each of them. Truly all are fine and it boils down to what you want. Just stay with the mid to high end and you will be satisfied.

I would use it. If it was stored properly like you did and treated with KVD it should be OK. Unless you are fishing a big tournament, then I would re-spool. :

Looks like you sedated them. Put on some chaps.

A Mag brake will make a whirling type noise with a lot of spool speed but not a rattle. I wonder if something may be loose in the Mag brake?

NICE!

For Michigan that is a true trophy, WOW! Congrats! They do not get much bigger and are few and far between.

Thank God everyone is OK.

your advice has to be the one that had the most inpact on me and opened my eyes as soon as i read it so thank you for that and i want to thank everyone else too,cause she has been nothing but good to me in every aspect of life and to but up with my crap it takes alot,i am staying and we are going to work it out,im sure everything will be ok,and for some of you guys,im not a dead beat dad that just want to run away from my family and in what i wrot i dont see how you got that but i came here cuz i knew ther had to be someone on here that had gone though the same thing so i want to that everyone You have made a good decision, give the family a hug for us. I hope this helped as it took some courage to lie yourself out like this. Believe me you have made a good decision. I lost my kids and first wife when I was your age. I started a new life but suffer with empitiness. I had no fault in what happened to me ( she made a decision much like the one you were about to make) so I felt I needed to add my 2 cents as you have a chance. Good Luck and God Bless. SEE my signature below, words to live by.

Seeing how I like to have fun when I fish, I would have to say Big O. I never fished with him but met him twice. I am sure he can put up with my antics on a boat.

Wow imagine what them girls would have weighted during spawn. Looking at their bellies they had to have been full of eggs. Great catch!

Mepps #5 Spinner. Black Blade Red Dots. I have caught all species with this. Something about that hair.

Well it is not everyday someone is recognized this way. Given the state of the economy a raise means a lot. Be proud without a doubt you have earned it.

My friend I tried to stay away from this but I just have to give some advice. You have 3 kids with this women. At no time do you mention that she treats you poorly. After 3 kids it is obvious to me that no mistake was made. I think you need to man up and make this women a proper wife and mother. These kids are a gift. If you spend time as a family man there is no way you should be bored. Embrace this gift young man and all your problems will be solved. If this offends then I am sorry. Believe me you do not want to feel the pain of the emptiness provided by a bad choice.

WOW!

Not being able to attend and sample for my self, I only hope your not just being polite Mike. I do hope you all enjoyed it though. Brian it made me a bit irregular but tasted great!

Maybe them Bama girls took you off your mark a bit. Boy I would have had trouble getting on the water after visiting with them.

Great job keep up the good work!

Boy I hate when that happens. Good one Gary.

Thanks Dwight, that means a lot coming from you. There is something about Reservoirs, I seem to be in tune with this type of system.

Welcome Mark, we share the same sir name.

Get to work! :

They should make more like it. Good to see a story about a young man making good. I am sure there are more stories like this in professional sports and they should be shared. One of the best movies made in the past year!

I am sorry but you are pretty near an adult. Hang out with more mature people. Being 20 years old and him being a minor at 16 years old if you would have decked him you would be in jail waiting to talk to a judge. Believe me she would have not stayed by your side. It is obvious these are kids being kids looking for a thrill. You exercised yourself in the right manner. I had wished that when I was young I would have done the same. It would have caused me much less grief, KUDOS to you , in this day and age it is very difficult to stay out of harms way, some kids do not play like kids

You may not catch numers on plastics but your size will surely increase, keep it up you may be surprised.
