  1. domestic goose ...... oh man, what a fight ! water turkey, heron, freshwater clam, turtles, toads, frogs, a cowboy hat, rests of gill nets, grocery plastic bags, a couple of chlorine bottles a ladies panties ....... hipo size plus the usual stuff like leaves, sticks and so on.
  2. Lightness is not given by the higher IM rating it 's given by the thickness of the wall and the ammount of resins used to bond the graphite fibers together. Sensitivity is a highly subjective term, theoretically speaking, the denser the material the better it will transmit vibration, I say theoretically cuz in reality the perception of vibration transmission depends exclusively on your ability or the lack of it to detect it. Just as there are people that can stand more pain there are people gifted with a greater perception of tactile experiences. I swear I can 't tell THAT much of a difference between for ex an IMX and a GLX or the alleged superior sensitivity of the GLX is something I can 't detect.
  3. Too much time.

    Yikes !!!

    The only thing I hate about warm climates is that you have all kind of poisonous critters, ok, you learn to live with them but that doesn 't stop me from getting the creeps when I find a scorpion every now and then ..... just like now when I was about to wash some aluminum dishes I use at the clinic for the dogs in boarding or in hospital. There it was, between one dish and the other. >
  5. They don 't have the color I need ( as usual : ) it 's a spare I 'm in need for another one I have that 's all chewed up and barely resembles what I had originally purchased ( well, that 's what they are for ) ; the shipping cost to any country in NA is the same ( Canada, US, Mexico ).
  6. Get the bigger engine and agressive tires. My buddy Pedro has a 18 ft V aluminum powered by a 50 HP Johnson, he had it modified with aluminum decking with under storage which literally turned the boat into a 16 ft deck, the mods did add a lot of weight, he can tow it with his 4 cil Ford Ranger manual tranny, everything is fine until we have to climb a hill or pull out the boat from a steep launching site or ramp. My friend Alfonso 's 6 cyl Cherokee ( auto ) does a lot more better job than the Ranger, needless to say that for my 8 cyl Ram Charger towing and pulling the boat out of a ramp is a piece of cake. Opposed to what many may think the 6 cyl is NOT as fuel consuming as the 8 cyl, incredibly, we spent about 10 dollars more in gas the last trip with the Cherokee than what we spend when we tow with the Ranger ( smaller engine --> more work --> more fuel consumption ).
  7. The Cara won 't be extra fast.
  8. Got my last BM attack package on Friday, reel covers I needed plus some stuff that I really don 't need but ordered just to fill in, after all, either 60 or 120 I 'm still going to pay the 30 dollars Intnl shipping charge and now it struck me, I also needed a Monster Jack swimbait and ...... duh !!!, I completely forgot about it when I placed the order :. This danged Alzheimer 's sure kicks in sometimes, so here we go again I need a 60 dollar swimbait and I still have to pick up something else to fill in the order. :-/
  9. It doesn 't have to look like anything a bass could eat.
  10. The LMS is a copy of the Javallon.
  11. You ain 't never gonna see me driving a station wagon no matter how luxurious or how many HP it has, no way Jos é ! I don 't even like driving my mom 's Mini Van, I feel like a lady going to the market when I 'm in it.
  12. Most in my familiy are from tall to quite tall ( men all over 6 '2", women over 5 '8" ), I 'm the the only midget. My tallest nieces are 6 '2" ( ) , lil Raul is 4 almost 5, he 's a 3 '7" tall which is quite tall for such a young child. He 's gonna be quite a big guy in the future. Olga ( my daughter ) appears to be short but my wife was the same way at the same age, her uncles still call her "chaparrita" and the chaparrita is 5 '10" now.
  13. My cousin has one for my nephews, apparently they have a lot of fun but my cousin and I have more fun with the PS2, we 're potato couches when it comes to video games, if you have to move more than 4 fingers then it 's too much of a work out.
  14. The funny thing is that when he was young he used to drive a Mini Cooper, seeing him getting into and out of it sure was a interesting experience.
  15. They just can 't resist the ol reliable, can they ?
  16. My uncles, the "shorty" is 6 '4" and must weight 250 with ease, the tallest is 7 ' and must be 300 lbs. easily, no need to say that I feel kinda undernourished when I 'm with them. ;D

    Whew !!!!

    You know what day is today ? Dec 7 th, but it has nothing to do with the anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor ( God bless our troops ! ), it 's a more personal thing. Woke up, prepared Lil Raul 's lunch, woke up the kid and dressed him up, took him to school, my ball & chain was dead asleep and if I woke up first I see no reason to wake her up ( oh yeah, I 'm a good husband ), took a bath, dressed up and went to the bank to pay one of my CC bills, arrived at my mom 's house where I have the clinic, chated with my mom, opened the clinic, checked the agenda .....hmmmm not a lot of work today ( plenty of time to surf on the net ), mom wanted me to go and purchase some groceries, bathed a couple of dogs, groomed another, just another ordinary nothing special routine day. Just another ordinary nothing special routine day ? Yeah, right ! : See ? I just forgot it was anything but a just another ordinary nothing special day ....... Dec 7th is she who must be obeyed 's Bithday !!! Man, that was close ! Glad I just remembered otherwise ........... :-[
  18. The Glass Shad Rap also suspends but still, like I said before they not always supend, it depends on the water temperature.
  19. Why: Moderate or slow action.- the rod bends under pressure acting like a shock absorber Fast/extra fast.- the rod bends little under pressure allowing you to set the hook With a bait with treble hooks you don 't set the hook, you let the fish impale on the hook on it 's own.
  20. Suspending baits are very tricky because they suspend at a particular water temperature otherwise they sink ( cold ) or rise ( warm ).
  21. I have some fluoro already. Again looking for MONO suggestions. ;D Fluorocarbon is monofilament, NYLON is what you are asking for. MONO does not = Nylon.
  22. www.plat.co.jp
  23. Big Game 10 lb test as always. I like XL only problem is that where I fish the most XL doesn 't cut it, I fish this:
  24. I have no reason to lie, but the catch here is, I 'm saying how I am doing, that doesn 't mean that it will work the same way for you. Two of my buddies and I went to Zimapan two weeks ago, we were in the same boat, if you asked them and most of the people who were there that weekend how was the bite all of them will tell you the bite was very very slow. You ask me I 'd say the bite was really good as it always is in that lake for me. Being in the same boat and you outfishing by a lot your boat partners says a lot on how subjective the answer can be.
