Great read and nice pics ....you gotta love when your kids bring home some snakes to show you....NOT!!!

When and where are you gonna start using your Gulp Jacques??

Let us know how it works SmallieF!!!....I've got mold issue to on the carpet of my pontoon boat...AND, friggen moss is starting to grow along the outside rail on the carpet... Steve

Bleach????.....won't this stuff ruin the colour of the carpet??

What a crap disturber sorry Glen, I couldn't resist.... Good report and nice looking fish!!

Those are some dandy lookin MOMMAs ....thanks for sharing those pics!!!

BillM ....it's a great box....it's Model# 7915...Le Baron sells them for $52.94...it can hold up to 40 12" baits.... Rattletrap2 ...you're observations are good as this box has seen many hours of sunshine...(maybe not this year though as it seems to be cloudy and rainy everyday ).....I have a feeling that the plastic became brittle from sun damage, but hey, I sent the pics to Plano, and they didn't even question the condition or fading of the box....

You took the words right out of my mouth Raf!!!....my sentiments exactly!!

I was out hunting Muskies the other day when all of a sudden a huge storm came through the area and caught me off gaurd....The winds were so strong that it whipped open the top of my Plano Big Bait tackle box and actually snapped it off right above the hinges....I contacted Plano customer service in Illinois via e-mail with a few pictures just to see what they would say and was told not to worry, a replacement cover will be sent out for delivery tomorrow. ....no questions asked other than "what's your address and daytime contact ph# sir??" Now that's what I call service and backing your product up!! .....I also have a Plano Guide Series hard box and Soft Side box....needless to say, that I will continue to buy Plano products in the future! Here's some pics of the damage...

Nice eye for sure...!!

I keep thinking about you jumping over that snake....if he would have struck directly above you while you were jumpin' over him, the first point of contact with your body would have been your gems .....OUCH!!!!!!!...I'm gettin' the shivers just thinking bout that!!

Nice first report and welcome! Hope to see many more reports and pics

loved all the pics!!....nice rainbow for a pond

My 3 are in....still at 8th!!!

Good one Steve and good luck in the Championship round!!

What a super report Mike!!....sounds and looks like you and Cliff (and your Dad) had a really good time despite the weather!!....I just heard on the news that the last time we had so much rain was 28yrs ago!!.....thanks for sharing your trip with us!!!! Steve

Nice healthy lookin' Pike...congrats your son looks very happy!!

Nice Bass guys

awesome day on the water Doctrt!!!....damn, now i wish I would have stayed out yesterday afternoon here on the river but we got POUNDED by heavy winds, lightning, rain.... Good job lads!!!

Thanks guys...I did some research and I'm scrapping that thought of 3rd party warranty rip-off companies...I'm gonna think positive I've got a Ford....what can go wrong??

great report thanks for the good read!

Welcome aboard Peter ....you'll love it here!!...one big happy family..we really like lots of pics and reports... Steve

John, I'm reading the fine print now...initial cost of the "Expanded Warranty" for 12 months is $389.75 with a one time deductible of $100.00....here's a quick breakdown of covered components... Transmission Every moving part inside the transmission execpt rubber belts is covered, period. This includes the following: clutches, bands, pumps, internal shafts, thrust washers and bearings, governor, torque converter, accumulator assemblies, servo, transmission mounts, shift linkage, all gears, synchrohub assemblies, input shaft. All internally lubricated parts. (Does not cover manual clutch asembly) Engine Every moving part inside the engine, except rubber belts is covered, period.This includes the following: pistons and rings, rods and bearings, camshaft and bearings, valves, pushrods and lifters,engine head(s), block and cylinders, if damaged as a result of failure of covered components; oil pan, flywheel, valve covers, engine mounts, intake and exhayst manifolds, oil pump, distributor shaft, distributir gear, ditributir bushing, timing gear chains. I dunno...I'm not that worried about the engine giving me grief...it's more the drive train and transmission because of the use of 4x4 my truck gets getting into back lakes as well as towing the boat around.....

I received a package in the mail a few weeks back from a company called Canadian Warranty Corporation based out of Winnipeg...It starts off with an offer id# and then states: "If you own a 2001 - 2004 FORD, MERCURY, OR PONTIAC and if your factory warrany is now or soon will be expiring, your vechicle may still be eligible for continuing coverage under an UNLIMITED MILEAGE warranty For more details contact the toll free #" Has anyone ever used 3rd party extended warranty protection or heard of this company???....I had a few problems with my F-150 which was covered under the original Ford warranty (pinion bearing, ball joints, tie rods, steering shaft bearings), and it's left some scars with me as I keep wondering if I bought a lemon and what's next to go now that the warranty has expired........ Any comments would be appreciated Thanks, Steve

Nice report Jacques...
