Depends on the weather usually. It gets freakin hot down here sometimes. But I try to stay out for a minimum of 4 hours, sometimes double that if the fishing is good.

I wanted to go out today. It's beautiful outside except for the 30 mile an hour winds we've got in my area right now. It's nice to know the fish are active again though.

So recently I've seen a few threads that have had peoples gear getting ready for the season. Today was ridiculously windy, so I had a chance to go through all of my junk. Baitcasters are BPS PQ's - 6.4:1 and 4.7:1 Spinning are BPS PQ's - 4.8:1 Yay for baits Packed up and ready for action

Yeah I did. Like he said, luckily the barb on that hook was pretty small.

I've never caught 100 bass in a day, I have caught a bunch. I've caught a few large ones... I have caught over 100 dolphin in a day. I've caught several pushing 50 pounds... Give me the numbers any day of the week.

Marathon of the show on VS Network all night. Sweet. I love this show.

They do move off into the deeper waters in this area. I haven't seen many bluegill lately (although I haven't really looked). The lake I'm on has some very large gills in it, like larger than my hand sized. I've seen the water getting "dimpled" a lot from smaller fish feeding. The lakes are quickly becoming active again now that the weather has stabilized some. I'm hoping to god I get the chance to do a little fishing tomorrow morning (doubt it). Who knows what'll happen. I've got a bunch of new baits to play around with thanks to Roadwarrior.

1750 + 28 = 1778

God yes. I'd love to have that sitting in my garage.

I've gotta say, thats d**n strange. My daughters and I absolutely slay the bass on my lake whenever I make the trip to get shiners. It's hard to not catch a fish. 8-10 inches seems a bit large to me, but if you're after seriously huge fish the old adage of bigger bait, bigger fish holds true. I personally like the little 6 inch or so fish. Numbers of caught fish are a lot more important to young kids than a leviathan or two.

Live shiners are the way to go down here in South Fla. If you can't catch something with a shiner, you're doing something wrong or theres no fish in the area.

Great, fishing is smoking and I'm smothered with stuff at work getting ready for Food and Wine. Boooooooo.

Haha im surprised u didnt vote for dean rojas Mr. I love me some topwater frogging Never thrown a Spro frog in my life I've got a couple in my box, I just never throw them for some reason. I just enjoy watching Ike's antics when he lands a fish. I mean the dude breakdanced on the front deck of a bass boat for gods sake. I think he might poo himself if he actually wins.

I don't think that record was correctly weighed/verified.... Whether or not you agree with it being weighed correctly or not, it still is the record (tied). It was still eaten for dinner, etc etc.

Ike. But KVD or Skeet Reese would be who I'd bet on if I were a betting man.

So thats what a Civic looks like with a nose job... Sorry to hear it man. Nothing worse than wrecking your ride. (At least I think thats an Civic. First thought IS300, but the rear doesn't look quite right to me.)

Oh shaddap. Watching Chumlee get messed with is pretty d**n funny. But I'll probably place an order tonight or tomorrow. Whats the best way to order, phone or the website?

You know, I'm really going to have to break down and buy some of this stuff. I keep hearing how great it is from everybody. That pebble story from Bobby may have sealed it for me. How long is the shelf life on Megastrike, I don't get to fish a lot anymore, but buying one tube then the shipping makes it a little more pricey. Although I'll probably pick up some of the shake-02 heads at the same time.

That's what I am hoping for. You know whats bad. I have no patience. I bought a new PQ yesterday at BPS instead of waiting another month...

Dunno. No TV crews were out there when I took off, but the cops made sure they got all of my personal info along with the regular statement. So it's possible...

I was out with the my daughters buying some clothes and saw a huge accident on Dykes road down by me. A van hit two other cars, jumped a median, then launched into a lake. Needless to say I jumped into some freezing *** water, pulled her out, and swam back to shore. The worst part....she begged me and the guy that helped me to get her stuff out of her car for her as it's sinking to the bottom. She did manage to grab her purse and her phone, typical woman....

One of these days I need to make the time to go out to Lox and check it out. Never fished it before.

Nice fish. I was actually looking for some of those flukes earlier today. Hopefully they get on the shelves down here soon.

Let me start by saying I've never hooked myself thankfully. I've been hooked a few times by my daughters, nothing major thankfully. The one thing that stands out in my mind was one day trolling offshore. My boat and a friends boat a few miles away. We were working a long weedline and working several large schools of dolphin while making our way back towards each other. As we were picking up our lines we get a call on the radio saying they needed help badly. So we drag the rest of our gear in and haul butt over to the other boat where we see my friends dad with a 8/0 or 9/0 hook lodged into his chin. Apparently they got into a small blue marlin that was crusing along the weeds and as they got him near the transom the fish spooked and threw the lure. Hit him right in the face. Had to drive back roughly 30 miles to the docks, then another half hour 45 minutes to the hospital to get the shank cut. Then they had to go in surgically to remove the rest of the hook. They took a few hours because they were worried about nerve damage to the face, etc etc. Needless to say that ruined a really good day fishing.
