I think the ban is ridiculous personally. It's just like any other lure, it will have a time and place where it will be the best thing to throw. It pretty much debuted last fall and was banned on the Elite Series prior to them kicking off with the classic in February. They should have AT LEAST gave ...

I've had a little success with rigging yum money minnows on belly weighted swimbait hooks. You can skin hook them that way. I was using 1/8th oz SB hooks and I don't think it was enough weight to keep them running straight. Still a lot to be learned about the A Rig. But one thing is for sure, I don'...

Even though i was disappointed in losing those two fish, I was pretty happy with my overall game plan and decisions making. I do think the Elite Pro have a lot of pressure to do well also. This and lake Murray are his home lakes and he usually fishes them well. He was also paired up with one of the ...

All caught on Tenkara tackle? What is that buggah? I know not a devil or a tilapia but definitely a type of cichlid. Nice looking fish. http://s7.postimage.org/xnisdjxgp/DSCF0432.jpg If I remember correctly one of the aquarium experts on here said that is a color variation of a red devil. The first...

Finished up a two day tournament today. It was a heart breaker! Our day one total was 9lbs and some change which put us in 17 of I think 46 boats. We should have had 18.5lbs! I had a bass that was at least 7lbs break my line after a long fight that included three jumps, a few surges at the boat and ...

Caught this one a few weeks ago practicing for a tourney. http://s9.postimage.org/ovjxbo0cr/576547_291958730899141_100002550495584_626106_1533260337_n.jpg Wish I could have saved it for the tourney! Lost the 3rd largest bass I've ever had hooked today :( It was a solid 7lbs, broke my line at the boa...

Haven't tried any of the ardent reels. They seemed way over priced as well. These Lews are actually the first non team daiwa or shimano reels I've owned...was just thinking that that is not true. Have one old Abu ambassador and one revo s...dabbled with the Abu products and didn't really like them. ...

Spinnerbaits can be killer when the stars align at Wilson! Some of my best largemouth days at Wilson have been on a spinnerbait. They also caught better quality fish, helped me acure a 3 bass limit of 7.5lbs to win the Husband/Wife fish off last year :) which reminds me....when the wife gets back fr...

My original plan throughout the week was to fish a fluke or a cifine shad. That is what most of my fish and all my best fish came on during practice. But the tourney day i didnt get bit much on it. Even switched to a fkuke jr hoping that might help but it didnt. I'm guessing that the lack of wind wa...

I aslo noticed some slight quality control misses on my duckett. Mainly just a tad sloppy with some of the epoxy for the line guides. The also dripped some on the hook kepper. It doesnt affect the performance in anyway but i guess i look at it like this... if im paying $150 for a rod these little ov...

We all know you really wanted a new motor in the first place :) One thing I do know about new motors is it's not good for them to be idling all the time when you first get em. Not quite sure how you'd get around that without taking it in the ocean though. Maybe go up past morgans and open it up on t...

BBaires722, Have you ever fished with the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA)? Same concept as what your're doing here. I might suggest looking them up and maybe even contacting them. They are affiliated with BASS and put on tournaments all over the US. It's a pretty neat deal! I fished with a paral...

That boat looks amazing! Do you do this type of stuff for a living? The flake looks nice! I damaged my boat trailer a couple of months ago. Was fishing a BFL tournament and ended up getting stuck on the side of my house on my way to the tourney(I overlooked the rain from the week and parked the boat...

So close to the tripple crown!

Sewage mixing with water is usually never good
