Danny is a great guy. He is an outstanding ambassador of our sport on so many different levels. He was just up here at Clear Lake volunteering his time with the high school fishing team tournament. The guy has a heart of gold and enjoys helping others. I will give him a call and have him check out ...

Danny is a great guy...have not seen him in years glad to hear he is still poking around the delta !!!!

Anyone know if there will be a live feed so working folks can watch this event

From what I remember, the levees were breeching because of the Chinese Mitten crab undermining the levees. When the larger ships heading to Stockton and Sacramento emptied their bilges the infestations began. Did they eradicate them from the delta? This could be the reason for restriction as the un...

Foul language warning: https://www.facebook.com/100011441711667/videos/199273116038425/?mibextid=kdkkhi The guy that rolled up doing all the yelling is Tucker Smith's buddy.

I was thinking the same thing Dan.... wonder what kind of nets they use and what the kill rate will be..We seen at the last big tournament up there the big ones are ready to go shallow. If I read that right the Indians are doing this???? I hope DFW holds someone accountable to proper release of ALL ...

Just an observation I’ve noticed with social media websites over the years. The site monitors usually do not allow too much bashing among their paying advertisers/sponsors Along with the fact that there is no proof posted ...

I guess we need a cheap hand held metal detector at the weigh ins. Stupid is as Stupid does. I know I gave money to Mike Hart and only wish I'd been at the U.S. Open to watch him lock himself in his truck. If they know a metal detector is waiting it would knock off the lead thing. The fish fillets ...

I think you are totally correct, But from what I remember you were only disqualified if you were actually ticketed for the violation! Unless the orgs rules stipulate that you can be or will be disqualified by the tournament director or organizer the ranger or warden can ticket and prosecute you; It...

I noticed WWT has a 12 inch size limit...Watching the weigh in today a guy weighted a short (under 12 inches) not only does he have a short tournament fish his possession, (he was docked a lb) but he has a undersized illegal fish by state law in his possession, which is a ticket, or should be and a ...

Dee showed me a flipping tip.If you want a little more distance grab the line between first and second guide from the reel instead of at the reel.

Long ago someone was marketing them and selling them.... I thought it was one of the regular old days Nor-Cal bass guys. I use to buy them at C&C marine till I starting buying Predator grubs and making my own.

Wow, reading through those links was a great trip down memory lane! I guess it is actually coming up on 27 years or more. So many names I had not thought about for a while. And some I am still in touch with on a regular basis. I went from an avid semi-rookie, to a pro-Am fisherman, to losing intere...

Who remembers " Dom the Hawg Hunter" ? This guy was quite the character to say the least! I sold my old 201 Champion to him on a payment plan. Mistake on my part for sure! Finally had MY BOAT repoed from him during a tournament at Clear Lake. LMFAO, that was 22 years ago and when thinking...

Ok Guys .Tell me how the State and County officials can make it rain? Lake is the lowest its been in over 40 years.Just need a heavy rain year. Only filled once in 5 years.

He started in his Skeeter but had an issue with the jackplate halfway thru the tourney, he called us to see if he could change boats and we said yes, we met him on the water to check his boat.

congrats to all and the winners...Ish and Ryan.

Pretty cool a guy can fish a 30 dollar per man 50/60 boat turkey shoot kind of a team tournament and win 5 grand skeeter money... I thought he was riding in a Sabre...when I watched the weigh in, but maybe that don't count in this deal...... great job !

Ed I would have someone look at the motor and mounts, jackplate etc and make sure that there is no cracking or damage around the bow eye where is may have been jammed. A glass shop may need to take a look at the glass on the boat. The transom is pretty tough but just depends on how hard she hit it....

I heard that the same day they were to run the first day (Saturday) that there was a sail boat reagatta, another bass tournament (17/90) and that the parking lot was full. Guys starting putting their trucks and trailers on the road and were told they would be ticketed if left there. This is just wh...
