  1. I would get rid of my Garmins for 360, that does impress me. The Live technology I have no desire for. I did see a new video just now on YouTube and the thing I was impressed with was the Landscape view! Too bad that part of the video was about 5 seconds long. ?
  2. I’ve seen some new videos of it posted but they’ve been from Facebook and I don’t have Facebook. People seem to be more impressed with the newer videos.
  3. We have a small grocery store in our town as well where the employees who wear dress pants, white shirts, wear ties, bag your groceries, and ask if you’d like your groceries loaded in your car. Where you can watch the butcher through the window cut your meat, and there are only two checkout lanes. I love the small town living. Maybe I’ll see if they can weigh my next big bass...if I can find the big ones. ?

  4. I’ve often thought about that myself. I believe grocery stores have certified scales as well. I could only imagine the looks walking into a post office or grocery store holding a bass or carrying a dripping wet weigh in bag with a flopping fish through the store. I believe @A-Jay has reached out to a local certified scale and put a game plan in place. I wonder if he got a sideways look?
  5. I posted a link to a press release saying that Lowrance uses the Garmin technology and did say that it does not mention Humminbird, and said @Dirtyeggrollcould very well be right that they’re using the technology from the company he mentioned. I’d say for right now Garmin is better when is comes to the Live sonar. I’m not saying that because I’m a Garmin guy, I’ve said forever that Humminbird is better when it comes to MEGA imaging, though I think Garmin has closed that gap with their GT56 transducer release a few months back. I say Garmin is better in the Live imaging because typically when you release promo videos you release the absolute best you can come up with under the absolute best conditions possible and it doesn’t look any better than Garmin. If Humminbird is better then they failed with their initial video.
  6. We went on a safari today, a new attraction in our area. There were all kinds of critters you can feed as you drive your vehicle through the area. This one was overly friendly. Needless to say once the rain stops I’ll be cleaning the inside of the truck out.
  7. I know they have an hour or so drive from the lake to the weigh in and are getting a police escort, so that could be one reason they aren’t making up the lost time.
  8. Pure Michigan, right after a pop up storm.
  9. Do you remember the Lowrance v Garmin lawsuit a few years back? https://bassanglermag.com/garmin-and-lowrance-resolve-patent-issue/ Second paragraph. Makes no mention of Humminbird so you could very well be right.
  10. Just put on my forth coat of seasoning on it, so hopefully it’ll be good to go now. They’re getting scarce. We went to five different stores before we found on, ended up getting what I thought was a dang good deal. My dad has a big one and he makes great food on it, so I’m looking forward to trying it out. Todd Trovin is a YouTuber for Blackstone and he does a cross country tour at various Walmart’s and Lowe’s and he’ll be at our local Walmart next week doing demonstrations. I’m going to try and make it and see if I can get some ideas.

  12. From my reading Garmin holds the patent for live technology, so anything that comes from Humminbird and Lowrance is ‘rented’ technology from Garmin and you know Garmin isn’t going to be out done with their old technology so that’s why this isn’t knock your socks off, and doesn’t look as good a Livescope.
  13. New addition to the family. Cant wait to cook on it. @slonezp
  14. My stepmom has a 2021 and loves it. We bought her Enclave, she said it doesn’t ride like our Buick, that’s her only thing so far. That Buick is like riding on a cloud!
  15. Western dressing
  16. All the hype, and all they have is Garmin technology from 5-6 years ago.
  17. Strike King S-11 are good. Huk sunglasses royally SUCK! I’m back to Kastking sunglasses. I had a pair a couple years ago that fit my pumpkin head quite well. They started making them again (the Iditarod). I have long eyelashes that women would kill for and these lenses are far enough away that my lashes aren’t rubbing the lenses and creating smudges. They’re light and comfortable. I wear them all day with little issue. I ended up buying two pair. At $25 you really can’t go wrong.
  18. It’s not a big secret, just most don’t want to back their boat 300’ down a two track and the back their boat with the trolling motor another 100’ or so to get turned around. It’s work and a pain but it’s worth it and has produced mine and my wife’s PB both over 5lbs.
  19. Have you put your deposit down?
  20. Nice catch. Congrats on the PB!
  21. Weed eater How about my fellow northern folk.... snow blower or snow thrower? I call it a snow blower Snow machine or a snowmobile? Snowmobile here in Michigan, but in Alaska and I believe Canada they call it a snow machine.
  22. It’s currently snowing here in Michigan because of this god forsaken tree! I dread this time of the year because it covers almost every lake I fish around here.
  23. That view couldn’t be more perfect! Congrats on the move.
  24. Interesting, we found a ton of them in the muck along our lakeshore while looking for tadpoles.
  25. I used to drink Natty Light, I got tired of the toilet paper Christmas cards thanking me for their business. ?
