bass or bass ?

How true!

I take 8 rods on my boat. 3 bait cast, 3 spinning, and 2 fly cast. All different weight/action in each class. And I use them all, not just there for eye candy.

I've never seen any like that. Who makes them?

I'm happy catching any fish that puts up a good fight. I wouldn't be disappointed with your catch.

Super Bowl; Steelers / Packers. WOW! This will be a good 'un!

Chicago will definitely get more than they want next week. Rodgers is incredible!

Sorry Ravens fans. I know (as a Cardinals fan) how it hurts to just fall apart. Better luck next year. Now ROLL Steelers!

I have an aquarium with 2 largemouths in it and a plecostomus to keep the glass clean.

Ravens have lost their last 6 games against the Steelers. Every game when Ben was the starter. There are 3 teams that can't lose enough games to satisfy me; Cowboys, Patriots, Ravens. GO STEELERS!

I agree with your predictions, however, I would prefer to see the Jets knock off New England (hate 'em)!

Good game, but I think the Colts/Jets game was even better; right down to the last second!

Apparently he was striking out against government in general. Anyone in government would serve as a target. His facebook site ramblings are very confusing. There have been several differing reports concerning his capture relative to whether he was shot, shot at and missed, or simply tackled by someone in the crowd. My original post was based on the information reported at the time.

Feathers. Nothing beats the action of maribou in the water.

U.S. Representative from Arizona, Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head along with up to a dozen others today in Tucson. A federal judge, John Lowell, was killed along with at least 3 others. The assassin was shot by armed citizens in the crowd and apprehended. Please keep the victims and their families in your prayers and thoughts.

All my reels are right hand retrieve. I have converted my spinning and fly reels to right hand retrieve just to maintain consistency with my bait cast reels.

If BPS has a location in your state, you're going to have to pay sales tax. Don't like it? Move to a state with no sales tax or order from another retailer. And if Cabela's is in your state, you're going to have to pay sales tax from them as well. It isn't just BPS. Any business with with "brick and mortar" store in your state, you'll have to pay sales tax on online orders.

I would just be happy to have the time to get on the water once a month. Ain't gonna happen, but that's my wish!

That's a nice fish. Heck of a fight on bass tackle 'eh?

You can find many of the N.A.F.C. and B.A.S.S. titles as a package deal on e-bay for as little as $20 for 4 or more books. E-bay is a great place to look for fishing books at a reduced price.

GO PENGUINS!

Top of the line Everstart Maxx from Wal Mart. @ $65. I have 2 of them. Love 'em!

Boy, I sure wish that was available 22 years ago!!!

And get the hook out with what? Your toes? I'm refering to holding the fish for a photo. Unhook it quickly while holding it vertically by the lip for smaller fish. For larger ones, keep a plastic trash bag close at hand to lay the fish on (to protect it's slime coat) while unhooking it, then pick it up with two hands for the photo before release.

The L.L.Bean "Fly fishing for Bass Handbook". 2nd edition, by Dave Whitlock. If you fly fish for bass, you MUST own this book.

Parts of the area north east of the Phoenix city limits will see a dusting of snow tomorrow. It's been @ 9 years since I had any in my yard. Temps in the 20's overnight tomorrow.
