I think I remember reading that you DO NOT want to use JJ's on powerbait. I could be mistaken though.

As of right now? Not nearly as often as I would like. I would say that I am averaging about one combo a year.

Didn't get to watch the fight but just heard about it. Wow. I guess it had to happen sometime. One of the other forums I frequent is absolutely blowing up right now.

Welcome to Bass Resource and that is a nice fish!!!

Hello. Welcome to Bass Resource!

Howdy!!! Welcome to Bass Resource!!!

Welcome aboard!!!

Hey. Welcome to Bass Resource.

Welcome.

Ain't you settled the score with this thing yet? What are you waiting on?

That is a crazy way to catch that thing. When I first saw the picture of that thing in your other thread I thought, "Wow that thing looks like a mutated algae eater." It's a crazy looking fish for sure.

The two major reasons I picked the Curado was the price and that it casts further than the Patriarchs that I have. Both are fine reels and I don't think you could actually go wrong with either. You are definitely not getting a piece of crap either way.

Good job, man. Looks like a good one to me.

Yep. Depending on where you are I guess. I think this thread has proven that a point is a point is a point is a point is a point.

I don't know. I have never encountered those types of points. We have little water around these parts. I would call them "awesome".

Awesome fish. It seems like it has been a while since I have seen you on here.

I will take a shot of the diagram. It may look a little confusing because the lake is rather narrow and some of the tributaries are the same width as the main lake. The ones circled in red are points directly on the main lake body. The points in white are located in a creek so they are called secondary points. The secondary points are located off of the main lake in a tributary known as Little Blaine Creek. Even though they are technically called secondary points, they fish no differently than those on the main lake.

Nice fish. A jig sure will produce after you start getting it figured out.

This whole thing is just bad all around. I don't think we have any idea how much of an impact this will eventually have.

I would really enjoy fishing with a pro on my home waters. Screw fishing against them.

I find myself fishing Zoom more than any other plastic. They just have so many options.

I have no clue what that bottom fish is. Nice catches though.

They drastically reduce the reflection of light coming off the water. http://www.polarization.com/water/water.html An expensive pair of polarized glasses are well worth the money. Your eyesight is invaluable and you should not skimp on eye protection. I have been using cheap glasses for the last few years and while they do offer some protection, they do not compare to quality glasses.

I would like to see that reel here. I always look forward to ICAST.
