Jerry McKinnis has got to GO!!!! That guy is BORING!!!! It seems to me that he thinks very highly of himself too and I can't stand people like that. Half the time when I get up watch Bass Saturday I fall back asleep when his show is on. Look at Jimmy Houston's show. Basically the same set up. Just two guys fishing. You won't learn much from Jimmy (zero from Jerry), but you are entertained. McKinnis just does not have a TV personality IMO.

They tag some crappies and walleye also I think here in the state of Kansas. If you catch one with a tag you are supposed to remove it and send it in to the Parks and Wildlife department with a detailed description of it's size, location, bait, etc. In return they will send you a t-shirt, coozy, bait, or something. There are a few however that can make you some $$$$. I think they color code the tags each year and if you catch ones with a certain color you can get upwards of $500. I wouldn't be to mad if I accidentally caught that crappie while bass fishing.

I would love to see it as well. Talk about a time waster. I would sit there and watch it all day. ;D

What about lake Champlain. I think it was Rick Clunn that said it was the best bass lake in the country and I think it's a favorite among the touring pros.

I read this book when I fisrt started getting more serious about bass fishing. It's a great read, entertaining, and most of all informative. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0929384113/worldcat-20/102-4883867-4604942?creative=327641&camp=14573&link_code=as1

Could you email me a schedule. I might be interested. Good to see you back. Where have you been? dustinjohnson22@hotmail.com Thanks

Milfoil? Golden Algae?

Didn't he not know his father. I could be wrong, but I thought there was a part in the book where he said his mom told him that he was better off not knowing him.

I thought it was more entertaining than informative. All the tips as far as fishing goes was pretty basic stuff. Nothing you wouldn't learn from reading the beginners articles on this site. It did however show where he comes from and I can understand why he is the way he is. It also showed that big time tourney fishing is not a life for all.

Thanks for the help guys. I ended up using some epoxy that my dad had left over from putting golf clubs together. It looks like in the future I will have to use the hot glue. Thanks for your help and input.

I thought super glue wasn't waterproof? I guess it has held up?

When replacing the tip top guide is there any specific type of epoxy you need to use? Can I just get any epoxy at the hardware store? Thanks

Don't you think some of it might just be a true "fish" story? Kind of like the older it gets the better it was. For instance my dad has a picture of him and a bass he caught when he was a teenager. I can remember the first time he showed me the pic it was a little over 5 lbs. Now 10 year later he says "It was a hair over 7 llbs.". ;D ;D Stories grow with age. I am sure there is some truth to it though on certain lakes.

I'd say about 75 a year.

I've been trying to put together a fishing log. I am trying to make it just the way I want it. The bait monkey has also been fairly busy. Some how he learned how to speak Japanese and got me a Shimano Twinpower straight from Japan. I'll admitt that I am not a real big spinning reel fan, but this thing is sweet. I've also been reading a lot of articles on this site's library.

Just a hat that I sadly had to part ways with this winter. The band on the inside was starting to fall out.

That's not true. I have heard that Priest Holmes is an avid bass fisherman. Trent Green's wife also got him a 2 man bass boat for his B-day last year. Like he couldn't afford something a little nicer.

I wis I could have gone tonight. I would have really like to hear/see KVD. Sounds like it was great. I am kind of dissappointed if the Herm Edwards news is correct. I think Al Saunders paid his dues and even turned down head coaching jobs the past few years to hopefully one day be the Chiefs head coach.

As long as it's safe, I'm out there whenever I get a chance. Although I make a bigger effort to get out there when "all the planets are lined up". Especially night fishing. I am going to try my best to be out there every full moon night.

Those lips are pretty, but the two fish I caught were prettier. ;D Bright Red. It really jumped out at you. I am going again this weekend. Hopefully I can catch a few and post some pics. As I recall, both the top and the bottom were red as well.

I'd be more concerened about the temp above the water. I have a power plant lake here that still has temps near 60's, but no way would I sit out there with weather in the teens. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

You should have saw what I was wearing. I think they were impressed.

I caught 2 bass this afternoon and both of them had extremely red lips. Almost looked liked they had lip stick. I believe this is a sign of what they are eating, but I am not sure what. Or are these bass trying to doll themselves up for the spawn? ;D

<----- 10 lbs. 8 oz. Caught on March 25, 2005 at Lake Fork.
