Big-O Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 After the hookset, Ms STOUT moved the front of my 22ft Skeeter about 15ft in her direction... thought she was a Blue Cat I was impressed with her power for sure! She bit a T rigged Plum color Rage Recon in 16ft water. Still using the Hvy action 7'11" St Croix Rage Rod and Vicious Pro Elite Fluoro. It's all holding together really well and my Favorite weight for depths over 10 is a 3/4oz tungsten, unpegged. Also this past month, I was truly honored to be inducted into the Masters Hall of Fame by many of my longtime friends and peers in the Karate industry. As you can expect, I was moved by this as well with my entire family at the ceremony with me. While on stage, one of my friends asked me how I felt NOW, and I replied "Well there's MUCH less pain Nowadays than there was when I was Younger"! I really appreciate all of you friends here at BassResource, and not just for your support of my products... moreover for the friendship and comradery we share here. I'm sorry that I've not been around as much as I used to, spending quite a bit of time with a few of my elderly friends and family recently which has been a real blessing for me too! ICAST next week, but all of you already know about the BUG Maybe Strike King will surprise me with some NEW colors too If any of you are able to make it, Stop by and see me at the SK booth... I'll be there with BELLS ON 10 Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted July 9, 2014 Global Moderator Posted July 9, 2014 Donkey, mule, toad, pig, horse, cow, walmart girl, etc. all terms apply. Fence Panda, probably my personal favorite goofy term for a big bass. 3 Quote
