SPEEDBEAD.

it's not like they're rubbing food on their almost naked bodies... unless you ask of course! Still, on tv, it seemed like some of their employees were not necessarily the type of girls that I would like serving anything meant to be ingested.... Dan, I believe they are building a "Cowboys Espresso" down the street if that is your flavor. :-* ;D

Hey fool. Let me know if you want to go.

Well, I went and bought the 70lb Maxxum. Now I have to extend the deck on the Tracker jon a little bit. Thanks for the advice and re-assurances fellas. BTW.....$455. How can you say no to that? ;D

Yep, depending on who you believe. LOL, I would love to see any current NCAA football player go through a practice (let alone a season) with Bear Bryant or one of the other "old school" coaches.

: Do you ever stop? Kiss the rings, Burley. Bow down. ;D

I hear ya on the April thing man. LOL Kent, I'm sure you would.... ;D

LOL @ retail I think I am gonna go with the SJR843 IMX. Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

Looking at my options in GLX, I only see 6'6" models. I would prefer a 7' or longer. How do you like the IMX rod for this?

Whoops, my mistake. Wrong section Mods, please move for me? Gracias

I am looking for an all around spinning rod. Most of the time, this rod would be for throwing senko type baits. Ideally, I would like to be able to throw shakey heads and heavier drop shots with it as well. Any ideas between the two manufacturers listed above? How about rod models in those two brands? Thanks fellas

6lb 4oz caught fishing a Mattlures Hardgill off the edges of bluegill spawning beds.

Right now, I have a pair of Tropic Stars with the interchangeable lenses. They fit nicely, but I wouldnt mind something with a little bigger frame or larger lenses. I have tried on a limited number of Costas due to no one around me dealing them. The specs on the Tropic Stars are: Lens size: 55, bridge 19, temple 120, 8 base The only problem is that I am apparently sunglass spec illiterate as I have no clue what those numbers mean. I will be looking at the copper 580 lenses. Can you guys recommend any of the styles you think might fit my face?

Hard baits: Mattlures Hardgill, 3:16 Baby Wake and Jr, 9" Slammer (Dark Trout) Soft baits: 6" Hud (swimming), Mattlures Ultimate BG and baby bass (pitching)

Never pull out a pack of smokes around SB. After two days on the boat you'll be completely out. In my defense, that was a very stressful two days. Between the sunburn, lack of sleep and schooling you and Dan fishing the jig, I was pretty burned out... ;D I havent had one for two weeks and two days. It really started to make me feel like crap, so I just up and quit. No biggie.

Have done both. They are both equally bad for the individual. The one thing I will mention: No one has ever developed cancer from second-hand spitting.

, NICE!!!! Dude, you have no idea. Ootens creations are the sheet. I got to see a couple of them last year on the Roadtrip and they are TIGHT lookin'. Those micro guides are ridiculous. The thing looks like a blank with a reel seat on it. Like a fine woman, they look better naked. ;D

Hey ya little shat, good to see you still breathing. Keep me updated....

1. I will be dressed in drag....as you. 2. Nothing to add there... ;D 3. Your mom. ;D

Came home yesterday to find a box waiting for me.... Open it up and I see two of my favorite things in the entire fishing world: JIGS AND FLAPPIN' HOGS!!! Blaine, thank you so much. I cant wait to pitch these things on Pickwick with you guys next year. On an embarrassing side note, I am still waiting for one item to ship to you. I believe it is the one you will get the biggest kick out of too.... :-[ Hopefully it comes today. I can have Lauren 2 day ship it if comes with today's mail. Fingers crossed.

I predict there will be another WV Debutante Ball and the big red-haired fellow will find out why they call Tommy "Beast". :-*

Well put. On the flip-side of that: Dont believe that every person in a collared shirt and dress pants is an upstanding member of society (just watch the video) and has a Harvard education. Looks can be very, very deceiving. BTW, I am quick for my size. ;D
