When mine was blinking I took it out and had it tested the battery was dead. Bought a new battery hooked it up and I was good to go.

Sorry to say but your battery may be dead. Have it tested.

Took my daughter out to do some fishing since basketball is over and she never wanted to leave the lake. At about 4:00 I said it was about time to head in and she said she didn't want to and wanted to stay longer. She called mom and said we won't be home till about seven and mom said that was fine. ...

Took a buddy to DVL for a couple of days to do some fishing. Weather Monday was bad but the fishing was good. Tuesday the weather was better and the fishing was still good.

I still have the old shimano beastmaster I believe it is 6'MH in great condition. It sits on my rod rack.

big_gorilla

$140 shipped. $130 local pick up.

I will post some pics tomorrow.

big_gorilla

I have a 6'9"ML Daiwa spinning rod in great condition.

$150 shipped. $140 for local pickup in so cal.

big_gorilla

Agreed the list is a JOKE!!!

It's more about who he knows not what he knows.

big_gorilla

I can't seem to post the pics.

Give me an email address if you want to see them. Just pm me

big_gorilla

I have two never used in the original package. One trout and one bass pattern.

big_gorilla

The reason I quit fishing tournaments is I hated going to just one lake. I think that format sucks. All these orgs just try to have too many circuits rathing focusing on better turn outs.

I loved going to multiple lakes it made it a lot more interesting.

big_gorilla

I have a few of those spoons. They work other places too. I have too many now.

I would just follow Elf around.

big_gorilla

Where can I get a good set of tires for my truck in Orange County?

I'm sure this has been asked before.

big_gorilla

Brian Linehan???? Are you kidding me? You couldn't find anyone else?

Just kidding Brain. Congrats and good luck.

Hopefully I will be fishing tournaments again next year. That is unless I'm taking Hailee all over OC to play basketball.

big_gorilla

Keith is right cheating is not a crime. If you guys read the whole story in the beginning the State and Wildlife officials said he didn't break any laws. The official they spoke to said cheating in a bass tournament is not against the law. So there is nothing they can do. WON bass has done pretty mu...

big_gorilla

To this day I still think Ron was the best TD I ever fished for. No offense to any others. Everybody used to complain that he talked a lot and yes it was true but he put everyone on the same level. It was by the rules or you were gone. There was no grey area with him. I agree with Ash give yourself ...

big_gorilla

If you were late Ron C. would make you launch last and you were in the first flight to weigh in.

big_gorilla

If Skeet had won AOY no one on here would be complaining. Unfortunately its not how you start it's how you fnish. I'm a Skeet fan too but you can't take anything away from KVD he was no where to be seen in the beginning but came storming back in the end. I'm not sure I like the new format either but...

big_gorilla

Rick, The company I work for is just like yours and any other company we are just trying to ride this wave in the hopes it gets better sooner than later. I understand prices go up but with the rise in prices it means less people to afford them. The way to go these days is used. You can get a good us...

big_gorilla

What this means is the price of boats is going to go even higher. With the price of boats and the economy its no wonder why boat sales are down.

big_gorilla

Brian answer this question for me.

Since we no longer have a prefish cutoff then would it be safe to assume that the week of the tournament could be considered prefish?

big_gorilla

The idea looks good the only issue I see you having is the salt rusting your hooks. Are the tabs made with Z rust?

big_gorilla

Hey Buddy long time no talk. I hope you get your pass to fish tomorrow night. The bite has been good.

big_gorilla

Marty I hope that's not all the hooks you carry. LOL Ash, call me crazy but all of my boxes come out of my boat when I get home. It helps me stay organized. I have small box in my main compartment that collects baits and hooks through out the day and when I get home home I clean things up and put th...

big_gorilla

Rod you have too much time on your hands. LOL

Sounds cool though.

big_gorilla

Yeah we should all chip in and buy him a razor. LOL

big_gorilla

Brian you still have to be able to catch fish on them. We know about your problems with catching fish. LOL

Nice baits!

big_gorilla

Here ya go.

big_gorilla

The new version of the F2 style baits will not be out till late summer. They debuted some of the new baits at the Bassmasters Classic. I asked the YUM factory guy at the Fred Hall show and that's what I was told. There is a small write up in Tackle Tour in the blogs. They show two of the baits but I...

big_gorilla

No wonder I didn't see you selling anything.

big_gorilla

I have to agree with Becker and the other guys.

Maxima is the only line I have used for the last 8 years. Tried PLine way to much memory Big Game is just ok.

Stay with the Max and you will be happy.

big_gorilla

Eric,

Your in our prayers!

Keep us up to date John.

Thanks

big_gorilla

I heard the bite was tough.

Thanks

big_gorilla

Any word on the Havasu results today?

big_gorilla

Jimmy has nothing on Zona. That guys can flat out mack with a fish. Gotta love his show.

big_gorilla

Crazy isn't it that he does think on occasion. Sorry B

big_gorilla

Kevin keep those things for your kid someday she will need them. I've played with them and I'm not impressed with them. I'm with Chris I don't think they compare to the Steez rods in sensitivity. Bobby used to fish his GLX and he give it up for a Steez rod and you know how hard it is to get that guy...

big_gorilla

I'm not saying it was right. I'm sure a lot of guys have done it. But it being nationally televised I didn't think they would do it.

We've all done it the only exception I have is on sight fish. I made my partner toss back a fish that was foul hooked that would have probably weighed six pounds.

big_gorilla

JR unfortunately your wrong. Like Tunaman said the fish has to be hooked on the inside of the mouth. I was surprised during the televised FLW tournament that one of the guys caught a fish that was hooked on the side of the body and he grabbed it and put it in the livewell. FLW I assumed didn't press...

big_gorilla

Custom vs production rods? I've heard they make great rods though I have never held one.

I will still keep my Steez.

Good thing we all have choices. I'm curious to see the new Z-Bone when it comes out.

big_gorilla

I have to agree with Chris the Steez blow away any Dobyn's rod when it comes to weight and sensitivity.

If your comparing weight I believe even the Phenix rods are lighter than the Dobyn's rods.

You should probably do a little more research. ha ha

big_gorilla

Like Chief said 20 lb. Max. I have never lost a fish on it and I know the Chief likes to throw the big stuff.

big_gorilla

Ray,

No worries. Like I said I'm just coming out to have some fun.

I will wait to see what you guys have to announce.

I know kids can catch them I have a soon to be 10 year old girl that loves to fish and can catch them on her own.

I look forward to seeing you.

big_gorilla

Ray, I would have loved to fish the pro/ams but the cost was just way too much for a one day tourny. I think the first year Top Stick has was the best year. Since then you had guys quit fishing cuz they thought the circuit lost it's luster. I hope you guys have a great year but with all the orgs mak...

big_gorilla

Brian, I'm just giving them a hard time cuz it was supposed to be up and running a few months ago. I'm gonna fish the Top Stick Joe's but still waiting to see more details on the website. I need to get out and fish more. Unfortunately the Pro Ams keep diminishing and it's a shame. Besides like DL sa...

big_gorilla

The website has been under construction for a long time.

May be someday JB will get things working. LOL

So is it a charity tournament or just some of the proceeds go to the United Way?

big_gorilla

I have been using a 3/4 oz. Gann's jigs and have had good success with them. I switch from several different trailers. Chigger craws, twim tail grubs and craw papi's.

You can go wrong with the ugly color. I'm waiting to see what colors they come out with.

big_gorilla

Congrats to you both.

Now that you have a girl you will realize what broke really means. lol

Don't worry about sleep it will come later. Much later!

big_gorilla

I don't think it matters at long as it is a 6" oxblood Robo worm.

I fish both light and dark colors to see which one is working that day. Let the fish tell you. Sounds simple doesn't it. I almost always start off with a dark worms early then may be a lighter one as the sun comes up.

big_gorilla

Glad to hear the good news.

I hope you and your family have a wonder Thanksgiving.

God bless!

big_gorilla

She will probably come with me on Sunday. Her and mom are going to see a stage play on Saturday.

Congrats! Kids are a lot of fun.
