Don't forget the Freakin' HAT!!! ... Bill looks kinda cute in that thing yanno!!!

Next time you change vehicles Cliff, just remember... 3/4 ton 4x4, and you can pull anything you want!!!

Me too! Yup!

I've always found that is someone gives you a map or marks spots on a map for you... always try the opposite end or shore of the lake and you'll usually find their honey holes!

Now Beans is tellin' fish stories!!!

Excellent report, pics, and fish!!! Take your tourney logo with you sometime, Team Slammers could use a couple entries like that!!!

Very nice report and pics!!! ... looks like the whole family had a great time!!! Your children may be more eager to wear their PFD's if you'd wear one too.

Sitting out the prefish would be the best bet for the high profile name IMO!... but paying an entry fee and only fishing the the days of the tournament would take a certain amount of humility... a quality that is most lacking in most Pro Bass Tourney fishers! I applaud Mr. Mercer, Mr. Delarose and all the other high profile names that have chose to sit this one one out for whatever their reasons are! ... that shows me a fair amount of ethics, morals, and humility on their part!!! This tourney would've been prefished with or without the QMNR's nod... I know, all the Bass Tourney fishers and their groupies on this site will say "Nay!... we/our idols are rightous and pure", yeah right!... until someone waves a hefty paycheck and tourney trail points under their nose!!! You might ask yourself, "how would someone prefish this tourney OOS"?... it's easy, leave the tourney duds at the motel room, maybe even use a different boat (one without all those suck- decals) ... so a CO catches you throwing a spinnerbait at a weedline, then it's "No sir!... we're not Bass fishing we're Pike fishing!!!... see!, we have a nice one in the livewell!!!"... or maybe a CO sees you dragging a tube or a swimbait over a long point in 20 FOW?... "No Sir!!!... we're not Smallie fishing, we're Walleye fishing!!!"... holds up a nice keeper out of the livewell. After this tourney is over Sunday evening, everything will be swept under the rug as far as the tourney trail is considered... after all, this is just local Quebec politics and doesn't really amount to a hill of beans on the Pro tourney/money trail!!! The winner will take home a hefty paycheck and points taboot!!!

Boris!!!

Walking into a tackle shop is kind of like walkinjg into a GoGo bar... if you like what you see, grab it and don't worry about how much it costs!!!

If you can't make it by working with some harsh people in the construction trade.. you may want to consider becoming a hairdresser, manicurist, or can you say "would you like fries with that?" You don't become a Master Commercial Construction Carpenter by being wimpy, you will work for some asses and some good people... you will learn from both!

Yeah... I also was underwhelmed at his equipment (let's hope his wife doesn't feel the same as we do eh?) I think the last time I only had 3 rods and reels is when I was like 12 or something...

Yer such a pain in the ass Pokey! ... but you almost got this one right. Go to work!... keep looking while you're working for this guy in case you need another job. Sometimes the hardest people to work for are the best people to work for!... as you get older you'll see what I mean.

Live Shiners are like candy to large Catfish and Smallmouth Buffalo... I could post some pics of the ones I've caught on live Shiners if you'd like.

Mirror Carp have no/or just a few scales, the rest is leathery shin... correct me if I'm wrong Carpers! Excellent report and pics Victor!!! Some of those fish are absolutely obese!!!

John F, You would have to wear 2 pair of Depends before I could start to tell you about my equipment!

They all look like questions to me... I guess it's just a coincidence that the high profile names have dropped out of this tourney... Good Luck to all y'all next year!!!

If you're going to use goop to seal rivets, this is the best goop IMO. http://paint-and-supplies.hardwarestore.co...oxy-108772.aspx Quick to set and will setup underwater.

You say that like it's a bad thing Marc...

Excellent report, pics, and ,Poike Bossman!!! Don't tell the girls that the fireworks are to keep/scare the Bears away eh!!!... and that sulphur smoke keeps the bugs down too eh!!!

Work eh?... doesn't winning a tourney require a lot of "work"?... and isn't there a substantial paycheck at the end for the one that "works" the hardest??? Are you sure there aren't "other issues" at stake here? I'm sure your lessers will be more than happy to pick up your paycheck!!!

I wonder why???

Yup! Great report and pics Holdie!!! That Spike looks like a real Trooper when it comes to fishin'!!! When was the last time I told you just how damn ugly you are? ... just kiddin' Bubba!!!... I think you're actually kinda cute!

Had he taken her advice, and other men found out, he would definitley be considered less manly among those men!!!

First of all, he was a man!... and we men don't take advice from women on such manly sports as fishing and hunting! He was throwing a manly bait and wanted to catch a manly fish!!! ... he was probably also embarrassed that a mere woman was kickin' his in such a manly sport !!!
