Thanks for that additional info ‘cause she now looks even bigger or she makes you look small :). Again, well done and congratulations

Congratulations @dgkasper58 On your new PB! Way to show the kids how to get er done! BTW, how much did that big ole girl go?

Thanks @jbmaine for sharing the account and photos of your new boat’s maiden voyage. I gotta say, those last two pics perfectly illustrate what a retired guy should look like! Congrats and good fishing, JB from Cali

Hello from Northern California @Sky Peace, welcome to Bass Resource and the Forums!

Hello from Northern California @JLewis134, welcome to Bass Resource and the Forums!

Hello Brandon, welcome to Bass Resource and the Forums!

I’d have to agree with you when it comes to the playoffs. The biggest bucket in Cavs history was made by a guy who is now on the Celtics roster...

Anytime, and you are correct, largemouth,smallmouth, spotted, etc are all black bass

I had to check my calendar to see if last Friday when @Quarry Man posted this was April 1st....

Hello Jason, congratulations on your move to Tucson. I can’t answer your first question, but the answer to your second question is “yes”, largemouth bass and all fresh water bass of North America members of the black bass family.

Good luck and happy boating on your shake down cruise @jbmaine, maybe you’ll have an opportunity to do some serious fishing. BTW, wasn’t it the “flying” fickle finger of fate...ah, never mind

Hello Andre, first I’d like to say welcome to Bass Resource and the Forums! To answer your question, you might check out the Modesto AmBASSadors, who are a very well established club there in Motown. However, I’m not sure whether or not they are an affiliated club. Hope this helps, JB

Congratulations on your new PB! And that gut looks like she swallowed a softball

For the longest time I’ve been trying to get my ducks in a row, but I’m finding it isn’t as easy as everyone thinks. It seems like they have a mind of their own, but we’ll keep working on it....

Go Dubs! Let the games (playoffs) begin! As for changing the playoff format, why? IMO, it makes for interesting debate, but doesn’t solve the anything. Changing the format would take away the regional pride and animosity for another area which is evident in all sports. It adds some spice which as a fan I can appreciate and enjoy. The pendulum is constantly in motion and I think we can all agree it is now on the side of the Western Conference. LeBron's ability to change a team, GSW’s recent success has forced the teams in both conferences to improve and we fans have better basketball. Thanks @flyf1sher for the original post to open the Playoff debate, gonna be fun...

Today the winds died down somewhat and I was able to get out to do some fishing with my brother in law. There was still a stiff northerly breeze when we dropped in at the Tract, water temps in the low 60’s, tide had been going out for a couple hours to start the morning. We got to our first spot, and I pitch my Senko up into a shallow pocket in the grass. I start to pick up some slack in the line and all of a sudden my rod starts to load up. I set the hook and the battle begins. She shows me her flank and I now known it’s a good fish as she plowed into the grass. I was able to turn her towards deep water and after a few runs was able down to welcome a beautiful 8.7lb hawg aboard. We had a pretty good day on the water, unfortunately there was no encore to besting the first fish of the day... Good Fishing all, JB

Congratulations on the new boat! However, the funds will continue to flow....

Hey @Kevin Watts and @Timothy Cox, welcome to Bass Resource and the Forums!

Nice find Gundog! I was blown away by the 6% sales tax rate ...

And on spinning gear! Well done Blacktail 8541!

VERY Nice!

Let’s go Oakland! Hope springs eternal on Opening Day. Once again we’ve all got baseball and can look forward to a day at the ballpark! Beat LA!

My little one and me celebrating our birthdays a few weeks back. It was 20+ years ago when she arrived at the hospital as my birthday present. I am blessed in that she and her sister will still go fishing and to a ball game with their dad...

Coffee first thing in the morning and on the way to the ramp. Once on the water and fishing; orange juice, Powerade/Gatorade, Diet Coke and water. The flask in the boat’s glovebox has Scotch, to celebrate a good day once the boat is trailered. And I really enjoy my beer ice cold while I’m grilling a thick ribeye....

Nice photos of some outstanding fish Dillion! Stay on ‘em and looking forward to seeing your next post and pics!
