Who does Jimmy's hair??

[badbass25]

Entire panel: For those of us that want to take it to the top level and are just starting out what do you recomend? Learn a body of water inside and out; or join a club and learn a little about about a few bodys of water. And when did you know to move up a notch? and what are the levels of progression? from the bottom (just fishing) to the top (going pro). try to include non-boaters (am) and maybe team tournaments.

[Riplip]

Do you ever get to fish just for fun anymore, or is a pro's time so valuable on the water that every outing is planned for a puropse?

[Grant]

As top professional anglers have you ever looked into your strike rates compared to a non pro? Are you successful by getting as many strikes a day as non pro but the fish are better quality or are you going through more fish in a day to account for your success?

[Steve Reed]

To everyone: What is it that makes anglers like yourselves able to succeed more often than a "normal angler".

[350V RGR]

To all: From what you have seen, what's the most angler friendly and/or popular set-up.

Truck campers or Class C's?

Thanks, Will Mathers

Question for Gary Dobyns = You seem to know Lake Shasta extremely well = How do you prepare to fish that lake when the water level dropping/rising and what lures would you use?

Question for Dave Rush = I have seen a few segments of the Angler's West Television on Cable TV where you were featured on Lake Oroville = How do you prepare to fish that lake when the water level is dropping/rising and what lures would you use?

[GW]

mono or florocarbon and why.

[jcruz]

A) Describe the absolute perfect conditions (time of year/day, weather, tides, etc.) to catch a big limit on your favorite body of water?
B) You can only throw one bait - what is it?

[basshunter4u]

Question for the entire roundtable: If you had a choice at a 7 figure a year carreer and not fish, would you keep your current status as bass fishing as a profession? This will be an easy decision for me. All the money in the world couldnt change my decision to be a trophy hunter

Kent, Thank you for the pass on Sunday I enjoyed the round table. Next weekend I plan to bring my 10 year old son to the round table in Sac.

[Bryant]

How much fishing gear do you buy compared to what you get from your sponsors?

[ken]

to the whole panel. If you have a bad prefish, what do you do on tournament day?

[ACRon]

If you could only fish one bait for a year. What bait would it be?

[K-DOGG]

To all: If bassfishing was banned tomorrow, what other hobby would fill your fishing void?

[Jim Conlow Sr.]

Hi Kent
I would like to have each of the Pros tell what the first 5 things that they do on their first day of perfishing to establish a pattern.

Thanks

[ACRon]

To all...What anglers would you want to be in your fantasy roundtable and what question would you like to ask them.

[NaCl]

When fishing small sloughs...Verona Slough for example...what reaction baits would you suggest for a good limit of pheasant? And, how many pheasant does the new Triton X2 livewell hold? HaHa!

.....NaCl

[MaddMaggs]

Entire Panel:

If you could be a "fly on the deck" with anyone who would it be and why?

[JT-Madera]

What is your favorite body of water and time of year to fish it and why????

JT

[BassWranglers916]

For the entire panel:

With all the talk about tournaments on the internet recently, semi-pro teams vs. pro teams, watered down fields of 20-30 boats, lack of pariticpation in pro-ams, Delta/Oroville/Clear Lake regions vs. a travelers region, etc., etc. What changes would you implement to generate higher turnouts at team and regional pro-ams?

[BigBossMan]

How often have you stepped outside your comfort/confidence zone to accommodate the fishing conditions?

[Gator]

Question for all -

You only have one day to pre-fish a lake that you have never been on before. Where do you start and how do you approach your day?

[Jeff Jewell]

With all the different lines to use, mono, braid, floro, etc. which lines do use for different techniques??

[Colebass]

That Dobyns and Reese shot a Ranger boat commercial together. The rumor goes, Reese died his hair tips pink and Dobyns had on a pink thong! Tell me it ain't so......

Both these guys are bigger than me, why can't I just leae it alone?

[JimmyReese]

Rumor is WRONG!


its the other way around!......and when you say hair, yes that is singular not plural.......

[Dewayne]

Jimmy died his hair pink for fun, sponsors had nothing to do with it.

[basshunter4u]

I heard a rumor and I think this is legit, I heard Gary and Jimmy were both going to be at ISE SACs roundtable. Prety cool huh. Thats the kind of rumor I like to start. See you guys in Sac

[Colebass]

And Gary will have his rods on display, like he has the last two days. The response has been enormous!
