SPEEDBEAD.

Water off a duck's back muddy....keep it in mind and you'll be ok. Glad to see you got what you were saving for. Look at it this way, your new reel beats the crap out of LBH's casting stuff LOL Stay warm up north Wayne

Man...It's times like these that you miss living with your parents!!!

Now that is impressive. Any of you married guys have some pointers for me (on marriage or of the Lucky Craft variety), I am more than willing to accept LOL

Thanks again guys, much appreciated. Zim, will do. Whenever it happens, I will be sure to get your addy. The cool thing about her is the fact that she encourages me to go fishing and hunting as a stress reliever. She understands how important it is to me and knows how irritable I can get after not being outdoors for extended periods of time. I dont know if there are enough words to explain how much she means to me. For those of you considering these same actions....by all means, go ahead. The thought of marriage was daunting at first, but when you know the girl you ask is committing to be your life partner, it has a surprisingly calming effect on you. Wayne

I just made my first order from *** the other day....trust me, 50 bucks is not hard to spend there. YOU CAN DO IT!!!! Wayne

Thanks for the kind words fellas, much appreciated. Wayne

Well folks, its official..... As of yesterday around 3pm, I am engaged to the only woman I have ever loved. Fortunately for me, she said YES!!!! Afterwards, I did remind her that I have a fishing trip to attend next spring with some people I have never met When she said "that won't be a problem, you can do whatever you want," it only made it more apparent that I picked a good one. Wayne

You know that his character is not going to just end like that. That was definitely a shocker.... Who would have thought that Dutch would be the savior for now?

AHHH.... I WALKED INTO THIS FORUM AND GOT SOME TESTOSTERONE ON MY NEW SHOES!!!!!! ITS FLOWING ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!!

I have heard the 3x stuff is tough to keep on a jighead, have you tried one with a corkscrew in the jig head? It will probably be difficult to get started, but should stay there.

Thanks for the reassurance. I definitely think I made the right move. When I get more serious about getting into a permanent house, I am leaving on good terms so I can keep that door open in the future to return. uh oh...... You got it.... Wayne

As for one of your requests..... SLAP Your welcome

Fish Chris' website shows how to rig another hook into the back a Hud, I am not sure if the bluegill would be long enough to warrant a stinger. Of course, I have ZERO experience with a swimbait so its JHMO. Wayne

Well, you cant grow spaghetti and meatballs.... But sure, come on in!! ;D

HAHA, thats funny stuff right there. I think Kavenaugh is gonna get beat down by Vic. He's an interesting angle.....the Strike Team's newest member should be Kavenaugh. That would be the best way to kill him, seems like everyone else that joins the team ends up dead in the end. Wayne

Well, last night I gave my two weeks notice to my second employer...Lowe's. The money I was making just didnt justify the amount of time I lost in the last 15 months. When I did my taxes, I figured that I worked more than 3100 hours last year. I got a few things paid off, bought some things that I needed and something for the g/f that I can cover in a later post For those of you out there still working a f/t and p/t job, my hat is off to you. For those of you considering it, I recommend against it unless it is out of necessity. Looks like there is some serious fishing to be done in the immediate future!!! Wayne

Forrest whittaker's character is in some serious trouble. I think Acevedo is due up on the chopping block as well. Someone is dying before too long, for sure. Wayne

I guess we shall see. One can only hope that this train wreck continues!!!!

Shane is a central character in this whole thing, it will be a while before he is off the show. Does anyone else think this is going to be the last season?

Spend some of that moldy money and buy a $#%^& shotgun. I think we had this discussion quite a while ago, and you still have that old thing. LOL ;D

I may be a little late, but I think I would like to join also.... MOOKTASTIC!!!!!

How about the $5k food bill that one boat rang up.....ridiculous!!! Those guys are freakin nuts. I am glad someone is out there catching those tasty little critters, it just wont ever be me!!! Wayne

That was crazy when Shane dumped the gas on himself....that dude's got some serious mental issues.

You have yet to experience the "special place" of the smallmouth bass. Do not mention the name of the "special place" as we dont want the secret out.... A weekend trip sounds good, maybe "special place" one day and out on the boat the next. BTW, if you see any in the stores over there....Look for the little Pop-R's in Firetiger color. They are a discontinued color in the small version. Secret weapon at the "special place." The regular size ones will work, but the little ones are better. Just let me know. Wayne
