  1. So far, there has only been ONE essay submitted. I have spoken to a couple members who recommend the contest be extended 2 more weeks. We have also decided to announce the contest on the forums Facebook site. I hope the change in rules is fair to the only person who submitted an essay, but where is the fun in winning by default. If the rule changes are unfair to the only entrant, then I will make it up to him, but the the contest will continue.
  2. Wow! Count your blessings dude ;D.
  3. There's only a few days left of the contest so put the final touches on your essays and get'em submitted.
  4. It's a Shad and they DO reside in freshwater.
  5. Dick's had a Grand Opening in Boynton Beach last weekend also.
  6. Agree with Micro.

  8. Awesome.
  9. I dipped Skoal for 15 years and have quit on 2-3 different occasions, the last being for 6 months. (each time I quit was cold turkey) I experienced extreme headaches after the second day that lasted for 2-3 days. I also had severe mood swings during the 1st week. I would say the 1st-2nd week were the most difficult 2 weeks to get through. I constantly ate hard candy and chewing gum. I'd wake up in the morning, go straight to the candy jar right out of bed, get a jawbreaker and then stumble to the shower. I also darned near chewed a hole in my cheek from biting it because I missed not having anything there. A couple months went buy before I could easily turn down a chew from my friends. The problem for me, aside from the addiction, was that I enjoyed chewing. I missed having a chew while fishing, watching t.v, taking a poo or doing anything. After six months, I figured I'd buy a bag of Redman instead of Skoal. I thought I could chew on a small leaf of tobacco while fishing and not get hooked. WRONG. I've been chewing Redman now for a couple years straight.
  10. You only get paid if you win. Take each players yearly salary and divide it by the number of games in a season. Say for example, that equates to 25k a game. If you win then you get the whole 25k. If you lose then you only get 1/3 or 1/4 of the 25k. Whatever money is left over at the end of the season goes to charity. I bet we'd see some kick ars football then. We'd see real blood and players playing like a pro. No more smacking your opponent on the butt during the game, as if they're on the same team.
  11. Unless you're with a large group, no. Buy the drinks individually. I don't think I've ever been in a club that doesn't let you buy a bottle. It's just good business. They sell you a 35 dollar bottle of Grey Goose for a couple hundred bucks. It's almost free money for them. If you plan on buying a bottle, you're looking at upwards of 300 bucks per in some places. The clubs in Vegas aren't all that great anyway. Vegas can be a lot of fun. If you want to gamble, go at it. For the love of all things holy, be smart though. Limit yourself to X amount of dollars for the trip. No matter how hard you try, the odds of you winning whatever you lost back are slim. Like Glenn mentioned, theres tons of entertainment options. Some free, some....pricey. Just pick what you want to do and can afford to do and go for it. Last time I was there I did a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon that was pretty sweet. Ended up having a picnic lunch down on the bottom of the Canyon where the chopper landed. I sent my dad on that trip for a Christmas gift. He LOVED it.
  12. That's a new Revo you're eating.
  13. Bum Bum... Bum Bum... (in super cool movie anouncer voice) The rivalry begins... Bum bum... Bum bum... When you post the essays for voting are the essays going to be anonymous? Yes, they will be posted anonymously. That way there won't be any favoritism so don't tell anyone what you've written about.
  14. Good one
  15. I heard the Chicken Ranch is a must see/visit.
  16. That's ok, wipe your tears. The yearly Christmas exchange is almost here.
  17. Why aren't you fishing? I'm sure you would do a heck of a job at talking the fish into biting. HAHAHA ;D...
  18. There is no limit on the number of words. (Except for you BASSclary, your essay shall not exceed 1,000,000 words. I know that will be hard to do but I'm sure you can handle it ;D) .Just remember, the more you write means the better your spelling and grammar will have to be. But, on the flip side, your essay may lack content if you don't write enough. P.S. Please, please do not let this contest interfere with your regular studies.
  19. Head here to S. Florida. Lake Okeechobee should be on fire for bass and speck (Crappie) during March. Roland Martin's fish camp, Clewiston, Florida, has great accommodations and a guide service. There are also others to chose from.
  20. I have accumulated an assortment of tackle which I do not use or have duplicates of. A majority of the tackle is brand new, while some is slightly used. The tackle consists of soft plastics, hard baits, spinner baits and terminal tackle made by Lucky Craft, Zoom, Culprit, Rapala, Strike King and a few other brands. I would like to pass this tackle on to a BassResource member who is 15 years of age or younger, free of charge. Though age verification will be mainly on the HONOR system, winners may be requested to produce a scanned copy of their valid, school identification card. All you need to do to qualify is submit an essay to me via a PM. Only one essay per member will be allowed. The subject of the essay will be about fishing AND what you like about or have learned from being a member of BassResoure. Your essay will be scored on content, spelling and proper grammar and shall be written in English. Your essay must be written by you and not someone else. The moderators will select the top ten (10) essays from those entered. BassResource members will then be able to vote for their favorite essay out of the top ten. The two winners will be selected by whoever receives the most votes. Members can only vote once. The deadline for entries will be November 1, 2010 at midnight (Eastern Time). Remember, this contest is going to be based mainly on the Honor System so please don't try and cheat some youngster out of winning. Good luck and you may begin with your essay. P.S. Submit your essay to me via a PM. You may NOT modify your essay once it has been submitted. The moderators will post the top 10 essays for member voting after November 1, 2010. There is no limit on the amount of words. You can write your essay as long or short as you want. Only one essay per member is allowed. Do NOT change your screen name and try submitting more than one essay. So far, there has only been ONE essay submitted. I have spoken to a couple members who recommend the contest be extended 2 more weeks. We have also decided to announce the contest on the forums Facebook site. I hope the change in rules is fair to the only person who submitted an essay, but where is the fun in winning by default. If the rule changes are unfair to the only entrant, then I will make it up to him, but the the contest will continue.
