Hookemdown.

:o I can't even imagine the fight! Amazing catch.

Wow, I wonder what the play was ;D

Also remember to go check out all of the bottom features of the lake when the level drops, take pictures, even mark unknown structure and cover on a gps if you have one.

Welcome! Take RW's advice and read the articles that he told you about, they will help you get started. Also, stay hooked up on this forum, this is the best bunch of guys with great information on the web. Tight Lines!

Hmmmmmm....

We've got digital cable (the box doesn't have any buttons) so without the changer, it's impossible. Gman, I've already done that SEVERAL times, turned the batteries the wrong way, even put in dead ones. My dads getting a little clever, so I think I'll try this one on him tomorrow. What real man wants to put down his beer, set aside the chips, and GET UP to go change the channel. I don't think by dad would be able to.

Nice Fish...So how'd she taste?

DISCLAIMER: I am not liable if you get slapped by your wife and/or grounded by your dad. Step 1. Find TV controller Step 2. Change channel to CSPAN1 or CSPAN2 (your choice) Step 3. Place TV controller in your tackle box Step 4. Go Fishing

Is this coming from a man who's been "retired" all of his life?

I actually think that I've actually saved money from reading posts on BassResource.com. I never buy anything that isn't recommended by someone here on the site. But then I never would have wanted My new shimano reel, gloomis rod, a few dozen pointers....... But one things for sure, I feel that I can never thank you guys enough for all of your help. And congrats tipptruck

I've always been told to wear dull colored clothing while bank fishing, so it might affect the bass But then again, LBH doesn't seem to have a problem in his bright red powerhouse either

Great work as usual! Superb looking Deep diver in the middle! I need to get off my but and turn out a few more lures. I've only made two this year. :'(

That sounds like a plan to me

What? I've always tried to keep them OUT of the boat

Well, you can always do a little lawn service. Me and a buddy have done that the past three years. We take care of mowing, trim hedges, water plants of older people...that kind of thing. Pays pretty good, but it does get hot. JMHO

Well actually I'm 3 days too late. I checked my profile about five minutes ago and noticed that i've already been here an entire year! When I first started on this site I was just a young punk who knew next to nothing about fishing. Now a year later (and still a young punk) I can actually teach my friend a thing or two about fishing. It's amazing how far I've progressed. So to you all here at the forums and especially to Glenn. I say a big THANK YOU!

WELCOME to the forums

Good Luck and keep safe...and most importantly [move]THANK YOU![/move]

From the looks of the picture, I think that reel is actually a Shimano :

I should have read that chainsaw manual first... :'(

Isn't that were the extra large casting deck comes in?

I actually sung the two songs, then read the next line in disgust :-[.

cp.... you still there.... MODS CALL AN AMBULANCE! Oh thank God, he's ok. This might help you get back on your feet.
