I think the mods should "pin" the thread.

Awesome! Hopefully people will participate.

Wow! Heckuva job! I have always thought about painting my own baits. What are your suggestions on getting started?

I am wondering if anyone would be interested in sharing books that you have with me or other members? I have books I am sure some "new to bass fishing peeps" would like. I would pay for shipping to your address. When you are done just pass on the books to someone else. I have learned a ton from books and magazines. Hopefully this would help some people who don't have a bunch of money to get information they otherwise wouldn't be able to get. It's just a thought. Darin I have books and magazines. Just let me know!

And I thought they were "looking like fools with there pants on the ground" This explains it better!

I love purple hues as well! Also black/blue.

Hey I'm not a fan of his outbursts but I do love his passion. And I appreciate his love for our sport!

I'm waiting very impatiently for mine!

Mine doesn't like to hunt or fish. That's ok. I'll just take the kiddos and give her a nice quiet house!

Don't give them any of your Scrounger's!

The $240 was allotted for recreational use. I have a good 401k and other savings. But rather than spending I could throw it in savings but that wouldn't be as much fun!

Ohhhh nooooo way. If I went with that option I would want to do the warming up thank you!

I have the program. I have done it before. I fell off the wagon when I went to school full time and work full time. I blimped back up! lol

Im starting tomorrow. Im tired of being a whale! Lol

Im in for either or both! Just PM me how to join your leagues.

I'm picking Shaw to win. He's on a roll. Although I'd like Hackney or Kreit to win.

The bait monkey says "no" to the power block weights!

I do 2 things in the spring. I slow roll a Biffle head with a craw type trailer. Reeling where it stays in contact withe bottom. I also use a 3/4 oz football jig in the same manner. As far as colors. Pick your poison!

IMO there have been fish that should have been measured that weren't. Seems like being close doesn't only count in horse shoes and hand grenades in MLF.

From what I see and have heard insanity is more cardio. I haven't tried it soooo I can't knock it. I like lifting weights. Heavy weights! But I'm sick of the mirror fairy's. I have to watch tinkerbell at home. I don't want to see it at the gym. So P90X for me. I like the weight training. I have a buddy that's a strength and conditioning coach. He told me guys need to lift weights along with cardio to get the full weight loss potential. I think it's preference whichprogram you do.

I was trying to keep brand names out of the question. Reason being I'malready battling the voices inside my noggin. I will tell you this tho. They will be used for cranking. I will purchase 2 rods. So in essence I'll save 80 to 100 bucks if I choose not to buy the split grip.

I'm fixing to hop back on the "Bring It!" wagon.

Are split grip rods really worth the extra money? Besides making the rod lighter what are the other advantages?

It's killer on prespawn bass. Find where they are staging. Secondary points. Deep water next to spawning flats.......oh yeah and HOLD ON!

I don't set foot in my local BPS UNLESS I have at least $110 to spend. The 10 bucks is for the taxes!
