T-Rig, the first pic you have there is a "native brook trout" The Pennsylvania Fish Commission stocks the creek that feeds this little lake. This is what they call a "breeder" brook trout. Typically, they will use these bigger trout for eggs and fingerling production and then release them as they get too old to be of use to them. They actually get that color from being in a hatchery and they will darken the longer they are in the wild. I estimate this one was a holdover from the previous year. Thanks fellas Wayne

This picture is from earlier this year. BK42 and I were out learning how to fish the jig in one of our local spots, and this guy decided my 1/2oz black jig looked like lunch.

Mmmm, yes.....the Jager-bomb. I know it quite well, my friend. As does BK42 I believe.... We are well versed in all things Red Bull......VIVA LA WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is not an English teacher..... :-X Anywho, get well soon Robert. We want to see pics of 25lb+ peacocks when you get back!!!!

UFC 79, Dec 29th. Hughes vs Serra and as an undercard match.... "Iceman" vs "The Axe Murderer" This is gonna be one helll of a PPV

As my screen name implies, I am a big fan of the Terminator Speedbead T-1's. I still have the original spinnerbait I used when I started bass fishing, only had to change the skirt and replace a blade or two. Still runs true and straight, bass after bass. Wayne BTW, yes, the original will be seeing action at the Big G

Black (or just "dark") and anything that produces a lot of sound/vibration. Should be looking at big colorado bladed spinnerbaits, buzzbaits and possibly big worms w/ rattle (jigs too). Other lures will catch fish in conditions like you mention, but the baits above will usually produce. Wayne

Hmm....seen that somewhere before

X50923483245 I hate those things with a passion.

Attaboy mike!!!!!!!! Thats the spirit!!!!!!!!!!!

Some really great advice that I read here regarding the palomar knot is to put the end of the line through the eye and then put it back through the eye to create your loop. This way you don't have to force the folded line through a small eye. I never used the palomar before that because I hated trying to get the loop started. After reading that simple piece of advice the palomar is MUCH easier now. Good call on the knot. That is the only way I can ever tie a palomar. I have never gotten the loop to go through. Also, if you are using fluoro, pushing the loop through the eye could cause it to kink and weaken. Wayne

I'm with ya Ronnie!!! I am saving up my BPS gift certificates right now for a trip to the Harrisburg store. Muddy also made mention of a Cabela's trip at some time, so I am sure there will be some more purchases made.... D**N Monkey!!!!!!

Haha, nice work.

I am guessing TF's parents would have some serious issues with him traveling cross country with strangers to fish for a week. Otherwise I would pick him up in the BassBus, he's on my way. Ronnie Well, I dunno....He IS from West Virginia after all..... LOL

I would be down for that idea. I am in the process of getting my first house which means I may actually have some room for fishing projects. Yeah!!!!!!!!!

I see 'em fishtank

Dont feel bad....I had to do the math three times in my head AFTER using the calculator. I think thats the one that screws me up the most. ;D

No excuses....you cant slip away for even a few days? Take a red-eye flight, fish for a day or two and then jet back to Cali.... Sounds like a plan to me!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sure this has either been posted before or some of you have seen it, but it makes me chuckle every time I read it. The last one is great. Attorneys These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts, and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place.
