re: IM Looks like Pickens will qualify at Georgia

If was 78 degrees yesterday and 45 today. Yesterday was tantalizing to say the least and wish it never happened.

I been drinking lighter than normal and going back to the gym.

Won’t be long before I’m half nude in PCB

Alright, you've twisted my arm enough. I'll test out some of the new baits, but only as a favor to you

I have 275,00 on the way. I may have plenty to give away if they dont sell

I have spent some money this spring. If things dont work out, I may just take my toys and go home.

And this my friend, is why Im sitting in the dark, drinking some girly cocktail and hiding

Can someone explain fishing to me?

I want to preface this by saying I like the idea of it. Love nature, I’m a bigger fan of streams versus standing bodies of water. Fly fishing looks cool. I just want a no bullshite answer on why you guys love it.

No disrespect but thats like saying why do you like music?

So many like it for the competition, so many like it for the challenge, so many for the connection with nature. For me, it was everything. I grew up hunting more than fishing but started doing big lakes when I got around 16 or so. The first time I ever rode in a power boat, I knew i would have one soon. My dad always took me in jon boats so I eventually got to get out with a friend who had a 15 foot Cimmaron boat with a 88 HP. I knew then, I would have one.

After I got married, which was very early, I bought a used 17 foot boat with 150 Evinrude. Never looked back. I think boating helped me get into competitive fishing. Now, I just use fishing to get me to my retirement.

I have always loved being on the water more than on the land so it just fit. Fishing is a very different activity. You will never, EVER, figure it out. That is why I keep going back I guess.


That and chicks did the tan lines

Also love this. You talked a lot about boats. For you, is that a big component too?

I’m not approaching this from a sceptic’s point of view. From a practical point of view there’s no question to me that there’s something to be had from it. I just want to better understand what some of those somethings are. The only fishing I’ve ever done is at the beach. I’d hook up some squid or shrimp (preferred squid, it was way more durable) and I’d catch random shite in the bayou. Also baited crab traps and sometimes that’d produce something.

Do you guys catch and release?

How do you like living in Denver? I’ve different things about how people are rude due to the amount of hipsters and hippies that are flooding in.

Wifey and I are looking at Denver or Vegas. Currently in Scottsdale.

I don't fish as much as I used to (or want to) because of locale and too many damn kids.

That being said, I'll keep what we will eat. Within reason.

Catch and release, yes.


Fishing dominates. For me, it’s not about the competition, but more about having fun, solving the problem, and being with the guys. I’m in a bass club. It’s like play golf on the weekends with your buddies except it’s fishing.

Lanier,

You got a link to the new stuff? Do any custom colors?

UGH. Geez.

I guess you’re not my light beer bro. Do your calisthenics old man. The fish will wait on you.

My comments were because I need that so bad. I am jelly. I am trying to get my old fat arse in gear but I am working about 15 hours a day and that is giving me a great excuse not to do anything. Need it so bad.
