  1. Why I love to fish? Could it perhap be the sound of the engine purring at 5am in the morning while your ideling out and getting ready for a long run down the lake at sunrise? Could it be the rush you get from catching a fish that you work hard at trying to catch? Could it be the satisfaction of beating out 120 guys for first place? Could it be the outdoor beauty that America has to offer that attracts you? Could it be the most conveinced get-a-way? Perhap it's all of it. But I truly love getting in that boat and riding out into the lake trying to catch fish, relax, and enjoy quality time with the ol' man. Even if we dont catch anything we are always laughing on the boat by talking about random things that happens in soceity. Fishing with my ol' man are times well spent.
  2. Borat was funny until that one little part in hotel room. :-? I did love the part where he walked into a hotel and went "whats up vanilla face?" "I need a room for 2 pimps and no ho's."

    COD4

    I played it for like 2 hours at a friend's house and it was pretty freaking insane! I'm rent it next time we have a long weekend coming up. . I'd like to buy it, but I'm buying a new reel for my new rod. ;D I have xbox 360 btw. So if anyone has halo 3 just PMed me your gamertag and I wouldn't mind blowing people up with you.
  4. Just curious on how rods are made. Where do graphite come from? How is it put together? etc. I'm wanting to fish for a living when I get older, so I guess i'm trying to soak up all the knowledge about my equipment as possible. You cant fish without knowing where your equipment came from. I assume reels are just bunch bearings and mechanize things put together in an alumininum frame. right? P.S. I'm not starting a debate on which companys some how gets the best blank. I'm just simiply asking where it comes from and how it's made.
  5. Dont mean to sound like a butthole, but why are you trying to take it apart? I have two sx and dont have the urges to take it apart. If it aint broke dont mess with it. ;D
  6. I played COD:4 at a friend's house when he rented it. It was pretty darn sweet. But I picked halo 3 since I have it. It so freaking awesome! So many different game types and it never boring. Unless the matchmaker keeps giving you the same map over and over. >
  7. I'm in AP economic right now in high school and now I'm hooked and curious on how the economy work. I agree to spend more money on fishing gears in order to keep the US out of recession. I personally think we are going through a slow down cycle. Where we just simplely ran out of money. We'll rise again. Goverment needs to straigthen up their acts and the people needs to start spending money rationally rather then emotionaly.
  8. I guess that what happen when you sit around the base looking for something to do. Ready to bring the boys home?
  9. He sold it to me for 89.99. If I ordered one compelety customized it would've been even more expensive. Like If I picked the guides, colors, etc. It would've been like 120. But since he just made this rod with his own creation. So it basically a rod he made him self and put up for sale. But I call it a custom rod, because he made it by hand rather then a manufactor. I cant wait to use this bad boy. I'm put a jig on it.
  10. What gets my nugget roasted is last night while clearing out the lot at k-mart I was bringing in all the carts in putting them up in their proper place. Well a guy was parked next to the ramp I have to push the carts up the ramp and it is a fire lane which is illegal to park. He just sat there waiting for his wife to come out. Everytime I pushed the carts up the ramp he just stares down making sure I dont hit his truck. I'm like get the @#% out the way! Then another guy pulls in going 80 MPH and parked on other side of the ramp and gets out of his truck lock his truck goes into the store. BTW this was taken place at 10 min till closing time. They blocked out my ramp eventually and I barely missed their truck. One guy looked at me and I said "what?" and he just turns around. Then i go back into store like I'm ready to whoop some arse and the guy that owns the fancy truck was looking at me and I shook my head in disapproval at him. P.S. Next time this happen one of my carts will hit the bumper of a their fancy vehicle. They'll learn their lesson the hard way. You dont park in front of the ramp nor in a fire lane by a store while I'm clearing out the lot. Nor you parked in the fire lane at any given time during store hours.
  11. One at Walter-State expo center. I think today is last day for it.
  12. I could upload some more tommrow. Rest of the rod looks normal. But the guides looks little different from most rods. I didnt get the one with colors all around the graphite. He had some available like that, but I didnt want it.
  13. I went to the fishing expo that's happening this weekend and I end up walking out with a brand new rod and few misc. of baits. It's a custom made rod. Spec: 7'2 Heavy. 1/2-1 1/4 oz weight. 17-25# line. Reinforced guides. Split grip. I'll probably buy a Daiwa Tierra or a Daiwa tournament procaster the blue would look nice with it. ;D
  14. I'm buy cod4 one of these days. Right now I'm happy with halo 3, but I'm rent cod4 soon!!
  15. Old ones had problems, but the newer ones havn't had much complaints. my friend got the latest one for 4-5 month with no problem. I just sent you a PM!
  16. Largemouth-I want to catch two 6 pounders or bigger. Smallmouth-5+ Lifetime-double digit for both species.
  17. When I reved it up it kind of sounded different. So I'll defitnley spray some intake cleaner in and clean out the exhaust. I watch all of my sensors today and not one of them went above normal. They stay dead on the middle when I first got in my car the sensor was on cold as I drove to work it never went above the middle. So I guess it the wires or the intake or something. My dad is off wendesday so I guess he'll go get it check out.
  18. I'm buying one real soon. I'll hit you up when I get it.
  19. I'll asked dad about these suggestion. I swear he is really knowledgeable of these things. Only reason why I threw oil out of the equation was because my oil sensor keep reading normal. I havn't notice any overheating. My friend said his dad's truck used to have this problem and it was because of coil wire going bad or something. Jake, Your problem sounded like mine. The service engine likes does blink and it rumbles like I'm in a semi truck. This cant happen to me. But I've never notice my engine overrheating or getting near that mark. When I go to work tonight I'll watch the sensors carefully. When I rev it up it sounds normal, but when it idles it sounds horrible and rough.
  20. I got a Ford Explorer. Few months ago I was going change oil my self, now I inherited this truck from my brother. I forgot which oil this truck takes (at the time I was dumb enough not to read the notice under the hood) so I called my brother and I was like "bro, what oil goes in the explorer 5w-30? or a 10w type oil?" He replied 10w 30. I was like alright whatever. So I drained out the oil add the new 10w oil to it. Dad pulls into the driveway about this time and was like "boy, thats the wrong oil." I said "eric told me this was right oil." Then he goes "it tells you right here which oil it takes." But neverless dad goes "well, it wintertime so you dont have to worry about the motor overrheating, I've done it before long time ago and had no problems." Neverless I was convinced. Months gone by, my motor never overrheated or blew up. Now recently I notice when I'm at a red light and my truck is ideling, it's ideling like a big semi truck. It ideling really rough. Any idea? coil wire? maybe just need a tune up? or perhap the oil is starting to shake up my engine? Dad said it cant be the oil because my oil sensor is dead on normal. Dad just said you need a tune up no big deal. I just thought I'd ask if you guys ever had this happen to your vehicle. It just ideling really rough. when I accelerate it kind of accelarting normal, but when it's ideling it ideling really rough and of course the check engine light blinks from time to time. Sorry for long post with few bad punctuations.
  21. I just recieved my crankin' stick! cant wait to try it out.
  22. I'll trust your opinion on this.
  23. FH, I'll be at guntersville in april. I got few buzzbait I'm arming up. . I even change skirt color and drilled a hole or two in some of 'em. I'm ready for guntersville. I guess I'll stick with the MH. I wont be using frog that much, but my dad going to be wanting to throw them things all day long.
  24. I asked dad about it and he replied "it aint the rod it the fisherman controlling it." I mean bottom of airrus co-matrix pretty strong, but the tip is really flexiable. So I was just a tad bit concern I might not be able get a monster out of the milfoil. I guess if I play it right I'll be fine.
  25. I've been gearing up for lake guntersville in april and I just now relize I have no H rod. . Do you think my 7mh airrus co-matrix can get the job done in the milfoil? I'm shop around for a 7'6 H maybe just a 7'H. I mean the extreme is on sale right now, but I dont have money right now because I just ordered a combo and didnt relize I needed a flipping stick more. Maybe I should just get a cheap 40.00 BPS that'll get me through for a year or two then upgrade. I mean I plan go to college so it hard to stretch the budget.
