Here's what's going on with G. Loomis right now... First...Gary Loomis is retired, yes, however, G. Loomis was purchased by Shimano in 2006/2007 2006? Really? Don't tell that to anybody that covets the CL820XFA! :lol: circa 2001 or so, those were some killer sticks from WA, that was a line of quali...

They survived a train ride in a bucket across the country in the 1870's and went at it like rabbits to produce a viable commercial fishery in the bay area by the late 1880's- definitely a hardy breed of fish! http://content.cdlib.org/xtf/view?docId=kt1199n48r&doc.view=frames&chunk.id=d0e70&a...

I doubt its true since stripers don't reproduce well in closed lakes which means this would require future plants. The cost of the future plants and the degradation to the bass fishing makes it seem unlikely. They tried it at Santa Margarita and after decades their is less then a handful that still...

Chris N

what would be the purpose of paying money to stock stripers in Cachuma?? REALLY??? Don't you think a trout plant for that money would be better for everybody? There couldn't be that many villages missing their idiot for a group to get together and plan that...

Chris N

I think that stinger to the eye had to hurt the crawdad... OUCH

Chris N

I saw Manas work the squished rat magic, it was a train wreck...

"The Powerhead, designed by fellow BASSMASTER Classic champion Gerald Swindle, comes in the more traditional jig sizes of 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 ounce sizes to accommodate larger plastic bait offerings." when did the G Man win the classic? just wondering, I would be stoked if he did win it-

Chris N

I read on the internet that cat hulls improve gas mileage...

Chris N

Since I was a little grom reading WON and then getting spanked at Irvine when 8 million pounds of trout were stocked every 5 minutes, I've been a little skeptical of the "marketing" the pay to fish lakes do... call me a cynic :D Look at the 10-4 a guy caught at the FLW today at the Delta, ...

Chris N

what is this "hockey" you guys are talking about? Never heard of it...

Chris N

Thanks for the photo help!

Chris N

Anybody weigh the fish? The first one didn't look like a 17? I could be wrong, obviously... :shock: just looking at the size of the guys fingers and the lack of a basketball belly- looks like a nice fish held out at arms length, of course I've never caught one close to 17-10, but I've caught some th...

Chris N

Nice, and big fish on Day 1- Cam can catch 'em.

Chris N

Mike Hart won it- congrats-

Chris N

Brian.. never ever get bait from newport.. worst receivers around. go to Dana. Normally sd has the best bait but im hearing the bait is garbage down there too right now. heard that too- we got fairly good stuff in MB early this week, not sure about SD- pretty fair mix of good choves and dines bait ...

Chris N

shoots, now I remember why I was slipping the bait guys dead presidents all during the winter and spring...

get out there, this is the best summer in quite a few years

The 3.8:1 Curado is painful, you can throw the 5:1 gears in it and you're much better off- you can always slow down the retrieve, but trying to get a bait back to the boat with the 3.8 is a nightmare- great reel, just ditch the 3.8:1 gears and you're in great shape.

Yankee hater for life, but the Angels are doing their best to bring down the Boston Tea Baggers for you girls, finish the job already- Halos v Yanks this weekend should be a better series Just a Halos fan running out of brooms, one more reason to hate the Red Sux :evil: Pudge minus roids in NY?

WSB style? I didn't know LMB had an otolith, do all fish have em?

cool info- I thought it was a croaker thing- read a little, I guess they all do-

Chris N

nice work on the bluefin!!

Chris N

I heard it on 1090 AM listening to the Pads game today- pretty cool

Chris N

at least three crappy close outs away-

Chris N

Cool to see Byron back in the game- most people haven't caught ten 8 pounders in their life, heck of a tournament

What if a guy brought in 30 pounds on day 1, 2 & 4 but blanked on day 3? Can't really compare that to a 3 day event...

Chris N

I'd love to know what Martens is throwing- probably a Mepps Black Fury or some other epic bait that gets forgotten until he resurrects it and we all start throwing it- he's probably light years past the head spin and the scrounger...

Chris N

some of the really small lakes haven't fallen into big slumps after the first couple of year classes of big fish, like most lakes seem to do- LMV for example- less pressure on the lake or better conditions kept at a constant? Who knows, but seems like DVL is going to blow up in a few years with gian...

Nice work with a solid fourth place finish!

Personal trailer towing accomplishment(s): Towing 80,000 lb Low boy, 10' wide, through Emerald Bay, never touched a Beemer or Mercedes. Nice, hope you took the time to hit up the fat corbs on the beach in E-Bay, pretty epic, they pull some string! I'll do my best not to wreck anybody's rig at Casit...

Chris N

Heck, those bed fish pick up and spit the bait faster than many folks can react even while watching it happen. I figure most of the fish you get that time of year (such as when fishing stained or ripply water) were most likely not on a bed and it kept the bait long enough after you felt the bite fo...

That's the biggest midshipman I've ever seen, didn't know they were good to eat, although I think that's what Ronald McDonald makes his Fillet O Fish out of. I know the checkers and turd rollers find the usual smaller models pretty tasty- the X-Mas lights on the belly are cool-

Chris N

epic- been waiting to see a picture of that pig

Chris N

George Perry listened to that right before he went out and stuck the 22-04.

Chris N

nice work Manas & Kevin. congrats!

Renowski Super Shad?

Not sure about bass talk, but between Stern and Jason Ellis, you can't beat Sirius! Hoping they get the merger done, the only thing I want to hear from XM is MLB.
Bob's your uncle-

My friend Cameron Smith won that tournament :D 5 fish for 8 pounds is tough. It sure made me feel better about our 11 pounds for the ABA at Pyramid on Saturday :) Dan, nice work at Pyramid! When I left San V Saturday around 4:30, Cam's rig was the last one left in the lot, figured he'd be the one t...

Saw Ike a couple years back at the Bass A Thon, he was a great speaker, made me dislike him much less then what I've seen on TV, but I'd rather see Boyd, nice!!

Chris N

Sweet, nice to get a new product that doesn't look like Robo! Good job on those baits.

Chris N

This is a tit for tat argument. I never said the browns would be THE top shelf preditor, what I said is they are a top preditor and WILL eat smaller bass, trout, bluegill, and everything else they can catch. They do attack swimbaits here and when they do, that bait is trashed. Just wait 'till you h...

Chris N

they were talking about stocking lake trout and walleye in there as well, I think- I still look forward to big browns in there, I'd be stoked. Stripers will compete for forage way more and reproduce faster then browns- You'd be lucky to see a couple nice browns a year caught-

Chris N

I would guess the stripers would be a much bigger issue than the browns- the fingerlings that survived would be a huge bonus if they got big in there- bitchin' fish.

Chris N

classic, those LMV cats can mess with you at night, fishing one night I threw a 9" Slammer right to the bank on the north beach and it got flushed down the toilet right away- all excited about a pig until it started the blue shark roll- my friend wasn't stoked on the catfish slime I got all ove...
