Re: FLW College National Championship (Need Help)
Congrats on qualifying. I've never done anything similar, as my folks told me to pound sand when I said I wanted to stop going to school and try and make a living fishing as an 18 year old. That being said--the best way to raise money is to stop looking for a handout, and getting to work. Get a job,...

Re: Buying bass boat out of Ca. to bring into Ca.?
I bought my boat in Alabama, and because they don't require you to register boats there, it was a pain in the rear. 3 trips to DMV, different answers, sending me on different wild goose chases. Finally had a friend who works with the DMV handle it all, and she had to spend some time with it. They ha...

Re: Help A Kid out: Need a Bullshooter 190.
Sounds like the kid needs to mow another lawn or two and stop looking for handouts. "Poor kid" can't afford a 100 plus dollar swimbait, how terrible. Pardon me for my lack of sympathy.
