Agreed.....but what kind of jig were you using for it to be torn up by one catfish? That shouldn't happen. Only thing I can think of is a cheap-o jig with rubber band type skirt tie and it just got the skirt? Jeff

My wife brought up that I don't do anything healthy so I decided to look up how many calories an hour you burn while fishing. Sitting on a boat and fishing burns 216 calories an hour and I don't sit all the time and I'm pretty sure bass fishing is more strenuous than say bream/crappie fishing. So on the low end of 215 calories an hour on a 6 hour fishing trip you would burn 1290 calories at a minimum. I think fishing is the healthiest thing I do so I petitioned her that I do more. What do y'all think? Jeff.

Country....that is all my truck will pick up I think....then again, never tried anything else! jeff

I myself am a left handed shooter and have run into this problem many times. 20 gauge is even harder to find. I own 3 lefty shotguns, and one ambidextrous gun. Remington 1100 g3 12 gauge (LH) browning 425 gold sporter (LH) Blaser f3 (LH) Ithica featherlite 12 botttom feed and eject There are several options as far as 20 ga in an over/under. If a pump is an option Ithaca makes the 20 in both featherlite and ultralight, but I will remind you that a pump gun kicks much harder, especially a light one. 20 ga auto's are slim to none with the exception of finding a used Remington 1187 which they used to make in LH, but fetch a high dollar because of their rarity. Many, Many shooters who are left eye dominant have found that the ejection of a shell from a right hand chamber does not bother them. my suggestion is to have him try a 20 gauge beretta auto and see if it bothers him. They are very easy to shim with left hand shims for the stock and with almost neutral palm swell are very comfortable to shoot as a lefty. I duck hunt with a 12 gauge version of what I explained! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! Jeff

ummmm....I have no comment to say on that one!!! St Croix Avid 7' mh/f Shimano Core 50mg Yo-Zuri hybrid just my favorite rig, and 90% of the time has a T-rig on it! Plus my wife bought it for me, so it's my fav! Jeff

not open yet.....

WOW!

Welcome! Great fish! Where are you from and where did you catch her? And on what? Jeff

It is said that Chuck Norris' tears could cure cancer.....unfortunately Chuck Norris has never cried!!

I have only used 2 of the ones you mentioned, the vid9whih i own) and a friends bucoo. Out of those 2 I like the avid best! Jeff

jigs, soft plastics, topwater : 7:1 spinnerbaits shallow cranks and lipless: 6.3:1 Deep cranks sub 8': 5.1:1 The curado e50 might be your best bet for spinnerbaits and lipless....a little smaller profile, but very similar to the e7 and you still have a curado! Only drawback is spool size, but lets be honest, who needs more than 100 yrds of line bass fishing! Jeff

Big-O needs a shave! LOL! Nice catch...what did she weigh? Jeff

Awesome story and congrats on the winS! Jeff

Great fish! Congrats on the new PB! I would also like to know where you were fishing...... Jeff

7.x. go with the fastest reel you have. It is necessary to get ALL of the slack out of the line before setting that thick hook. Jeff

Yes good deal, and I like the rods alot.....I own 3 6'6'' m/f, 7'0'' mh/f, and 7'0'' h/f

Beautiful pups! My wife and I walk our dog once a day! Jeff

Thats a big one for sure....nice catches! Jeff

X100.... I am also a member there and am currently fishing out of my second build. Don't worry, it IS very expensive/addicting and this one wont be your last! Good Luck! Jeff

Nice Jack! On light spinning tackle? Check out this one I caught drifting behind a shrimp boat in El Salvador... great fight, and the guys down there eat em!

Happy Birthday OLD MAN!!!! Lets go fishing!! Jeff

I have a can of garlic with me EVERYTIME I'm on the boat......just dont tell the others Jeff

Best hangover cure ever... 2 pieces of bread, 3 advil and a bottle of water before laying down! Works like a charm! Jeff

Anyone who has ever fished with me, knows I am a worm fisherman at heart! I have one tied on 120% of the time. Because most of the time, I have 2 rods with them on! Jeff
