Sounds like a well planned event. I am in!

JL

Jiggin! Was Big Jeff still working there?

JL

Wow! This seems to be a bad disease that is coming to a theater near you soon! Outdoor Pro Shop looks like the same! Sad!

JL

Any update?

JL

Please don't tell me the "Hawghunter" is back?

JL

Great job on the finish! Also keep the stories coming! Congrats again!

JL

Well then I guess my " in store Gift Certificate " is useless now? Hopefully this closing is only temporary?

JL

Does anyone know if Monster Tackle/ Outdoor Pro Shop is still in business? Stopped by several times on weekends and they were closed. Thank you!

JL

Honestly! I am kinda surprised this is the first I have heard of this story, but it's sad if true!

JL

Good to hear you are doing and feeling great!

JL

Offer to pay a boaters entry fee!

JL

Just keep thinking of all the jig fish you're going to stick after all this is over! Take care Jiggin and keep your positive attitude and you will be fine! Please keep us posted on your recovery!

JL

Thank you! Appreciate the info!

Wowser! Jiggin! We need to to put that record on your bucket list to BREAK!! Did you find out what it was caught on??

That thing sounds good!

JL

I was understanding you had to qualify for this tour?

JL

Those are the 2 pics I saw the other day! Jiggin! Did you find out what he caught it on? I also believe he released it too!

Tom,

I am pretty sure it's legit! I can't find it right now, but it was a nice fish!

10lb + big fish !

JL

Jiggin!! I saw where an absolute toad of a bass was recently caught at Hensley Lake! 17lber!! I think it was caught off the bank, too? Was thinking of you when I read about it! Hope all is well!

JL

Day 2 cancelled due to weather!

JL

At 88 and still love to fish Daughter Sandi wants to install a boarding ladder on her Nitro Bass boat just in case I would fall overboard. Anybody know somebody who does a good job installing them. Be great if they were in the Lakeport Talk to the owner of Clear Lake Outdoors in Lakeport. Dave! He ...

JL

Thank you as well Tom! Great information given here on this topic! This is what this forum used to be like. Good to see people helping each other!

JL

Drakestar! Thank you for the education. Much appreciated !

JL

Gary is a great fisherman and guy! I had the pleasure to draw him at Clear Lake in a Pro AM! Way to go Gary! What a beast
of a bass! Wow!!!

JL

Sorry to hear about losing a rod! What are you getting to replace it?

JL

Jiggin!! How was the fishing today?

JL

Great news! Have fun and please post of pictures of your trip! I have never been to Eastman!

JL

Keep on keeping on Jiggin! Stick with the program and those Doctors will have you back on Eastman before you know it!! Take care!!!

JL

Yesterday morning at 8:15 I talked to a guy from 1800 bass boat and was told I’d get a call from Ken or Stan. I’m still waiting for a call I’m wondering if they want my business? Monte! They are good guys at 1 800 bass boat! They have treated me right for over 20 years! Also they are bass fishermen!

I looked on the Phenix website. I didn't find a 706L? I saw a Medium. Maybe I was at the wrong site?
Johnson’s Bait & Tackle in Yuba City had some. Tackle Warehouse has none in stock.
Johnson’s has the 700L in stock. It is the 7’-0” model.

Thank you Tony!

a dropshot rod but has the tip action that is excellent for mid strolling.
Price point is right at $300

JL, I just stared experimenting with this technique (old dog new tricks thing :D ) and like Kelly, with out FFS and am very surprised. Currently using an older (when Gary owned the company) G Loomis DSR820S rod paired with a Diawa 1500 SS and 6# flouro. Also had to learn how to tie a loop knot. :lo...

JL

If you have a drop shot rod you like...that will do the job...Mine cost more than 300 but since I already owned them I gave them a try. I had a 25 pound bag the first week of December and I don't have FFS but have not had any issues without being able to actually see fish...You just have to have a ...

JL

Any suggestions on a mid strolling spinning rod? Would like to keep it under $300! Thanks!

JL

Thanks!

JL

Any updates on the partner pairings????

JL

Thank you!

JL

Was wondering if you post the partner pairings like MLF and WON BASS do on your website? I couldn't find any and was curious if you are going to post the pairings in the future? Thank you!

JL

JL

Yes you did! Another kind deed of yours to help a bass fisherman!

Now your on my Pro staff

JL

YES! Those are AWESOME! Thanks again!!! Much appreciated!!!!

JL

Hey Jiggin!

Received your package today!!! All I can say is WOW!!! Your generosity and kindness is unbelievable. Good things happen to GOOD PEOPLE! Thank you so MUCH!!! Your baits are an absolute work of ART! Hopefully after your feeling better, we can get a chance to fish together? Take care!

JL

Not sure about the boat brand! But SHE can fish in my boat ANYTIME!!!

JL

I agree with Monte! Aluminum prop can be repaired pretty easily by a prop guy!

JL

Get it done as soon as you can! I heard it can be tough! Never give up! You will be fishing before you know it!!

JL

Sorry your rack was hit! But! There are still decent people out there! Unfortunately with all the cameras around now, it's pretty hard to get away with stuff like that, especially in a Hospital parking lot! Hope your feeling OK after your treatment? Take care!

JL

I have fished many tournaments as a co angler as well. There is never a one fits all method of a great day on the water. But it definitely starts with good communication between the Pro and the Co angler the night before. Getting the meet up area and time is critical. A Pro or Co looking for his par...

JL

Thanks Jiggin! Your the Man! Hope your surgery goes well for you! Prayers!
