This is correct.

As long as you have culled to 5 in your livewell before your next cast you are legal.

Last week at Falcon--carolina rig w/5"senko

Count me in!!

I really like it. Sounds almost corny to say it, but it is exciting and suspenseful--though not tingley!

I agree. If they at least offer, and they are sincere, then to me that is usually enough; but sometimes the offer seems grudging, or at least a bit hopeful it will be turned down. Plus, failure to offer to get the boat ready to fish or disappearing as soon as it is pulled out and parked at the parking area and/or leaving it full of trash is especially irritating-especially when not fishing in a tournament and just fishing for fun.

My total unbiased, objective view is that you all (who dislike them) are wrong about all three of those guys-Skeet, Edwin and Ike! LOL! I have actually spent a fill day in the boat with Edwin and Skeet and they could not have been nicer. But the perception on TV can often become the reality and I certainly understand the view some may have of them..

1 ounce may not be enough weight for the real thick stuff--1.5 to 2.0 (tungsten) might be needed. Long flippin stick and 65# braid. It's where the bigguns live.

Yes, I remember. Are you going to be able to come to the Road trip at Pickwick this year?

gripnrip, Great photos! Man was it cold! I was born and raised in the Tulsa area but moved away in 1986 --I also was thrilled when they announced Grand Lake as the classic site. I have been back to Tulsa quite a bit since '86-still have family there-but have only fished Tenkiller a couple of times with a friend who lives in Broken Arrow. I was really surprised at the quality and quantity of smallies in Tenkiller--they were not stocked there when I lived in Oklahoma. We also used to fish Eucha, Spavinaw, and we would take road trip to Broken Bow every year. Here are a few pics I took-more on my gallery.

Take the chandilier down from your dining room and try throwing it in your back yard--it will be great practice.

If Rhino is in the boat with me then No--he would try to push me into the water just to see if I floated. If Kate Upton is in the boat--do I need to actually say it--YES.

You think KVD might ever have marital problems?

I'm with you, Rhino! 34yrs for me this year.

Day 3 -Bassmaster Classic 2013 Grand Lake, Oklahoma Finally about 10:30pm last night I found out my pro for Day 3--Edwin Evers! He stars out in 20th place. The second day in a row I am paired wit a native Oklahoman. Yesterday I was paired with Tommy Biffle--he made the finals by one ounce and starts today in 25th place. Since I was born and raised in Tulsa (moved away in 1986) I was glad to be paired with some fellow Oklahomans. Edwin caught only one keeper. The general talk has been that the lack od wind in the morning was big factor in smaller weights. My first Classic and it was great. Will definetly attend future classics. My next Marshal gig is the Elite Series Tournament at Lake Falcon in Late March. Got my motel res in Zapata and will arrive a few days early to fish Falcon!
