This is exactly why I purchased 5 of these reels before Christmas.

Thank you for being unselfish like I was at your age. Good luck!

I learned this the hard way a long time ago. "Don't spend money that you don't already have." I was young and dumb. Not that I'm old now, I just chose the wrong path. You have to start building your credit somehow. Just be careful. The only way I would use this card is when BPS has their 6 pay payment plan. When you know that BP charges the payment, send in your check immediately for the same amount. Just be careful. I am in no way a financial person so take my advice with CAUTION!

I was thinking the same thing. I've spent all my cash for now. I will purchase the Gammies before my tourny in March. When I get some cash flow I'll order the Moaner's and see which one I like the best.

Man! I went Sunday. Although I could have taken a bunch of pics with the pros and fishing icons that were there I took them for a good buddy of mine. I took pics of the launch and a ton of the weigh in. I be posting them soon on a thread.

He had to have been in shock. I had a floor seat and took a few great pics as he and the wife passed. He looked like a deer in headlights.

Personally I could care less about the Oscars. If the Classic wasn't held in my hometown, I'd be watching it online with NASCAR on the tube. When I found out Johnson won, I deleted the recording.

Getting rid of Turco helped your cause!

The second paragraph. http://www.bassmaster.com/blog/i-gave-it-my-best I would offer encouragement. Ike's motto. Never give up. Countless times this past season I didn't have a keeper until the last part of the day. I just kept plugging along. Then boom! A few keepers. But what it really sounds like is he was on his spots and they started feeding.

^^^^x2 I received a tip from "the man" to use a Rage Tail Eeliminator on a 4/0 or 5/0 EWG superline hook. Dip about 3/4 of the tail in JJ's Magic chartreuse.

Hold your line. When fishing plasitcs and jigs cradle your reel and hold your line at the same time. Or hold your line with your free hand/fingers. I also line watch. It jumps set the hook.

The first elimination round was the highest 4 weights went on to the next round. The second round it was the first 3 to 24 pounds no matter what round they had that weight. The last round was the highest weight at the end of the rounds.

I was thinking of getting in line at 2 tomorrow. Too late you think?

No. Liability that if you damage someone else's boat or injure another person. You can also check your area for a club that is electric only. Like in Oklahoma there is such a club called "Belly Boat Club. You can fish in anything that doesn't have a motor. The only reason I'm not a member of that club is it is on the opposite side of the state!

Ok. One more question. Are we allowed flash photography at the weigh in? I have a Cannon SLR I would like to bring to get some great shots tomorrow. Thanks!

Tomorrow will be killer! A big front is supposed to bring in a bunch of snow Monday! We may see a 25 pound bag tomorrow!

Tomorrow a 4 a.m. Start for us. Watch the take off at wolf creek. Then a big breakfast at Tally's. On to the Expo then the weigh in. Maybe I'll see ya there.

I enjoyed meeting everyone too. Although I didn't get to talk to the opposite end of the table I enjoyed the conversation I had while keeping my little one corralled.

IMO I only use straight tail worms. I seem to do better on those than anything. It may just be a confidence thing. A far as how I work it, I just slowly drag it or deadstick the bait. I read Don Iovino's finesse book. Talk about eye opening!

I purchased some to give a try this year. I myself have no confidence in drop shotting so I will dedicate some time this ear to do so! Felix, Why the #1 vs. the 1/0? Action?

Hey Dinky, I forgot to ask you at dinner. What type of camera are you using? Great shots!

I need to start practicing some new knots. I plan on using braid a bunch this year. This looks like a good one.

Ok I was totally embarrassed with myself. I went to the expo and went all Bass Mafia up in there! I purchased some of their boxes. Time to get to organizing!

LOL
