It is sad indeed. I guess many of the Japanese and folks from other parts of the world (it isn't only the Japanese who practice in killing dolphins and whales) simply have different views when it comes to killing of social animals. When I see whale wars, I wish the U.S. Navy would simply sink one of...

Thanks for the info.

I have many different reels and to this day, the Metanium is the best reel I have ever fished with.

Now that I am on the market to stock up on reels again, how would you rate the Metanium compared to its American counterpart?

Sinjin Kim

I sincerely hope the cooler weather brings back the bite. The last few days out at the Lagoon has been very tough. Full moon, high temps and no wind created extremely tough conditions. Only a few fish here and there on plastics. The great topwater bite completely died off, as well as the jig bite. T...

Bravo Zulu to you fine gentlemen! That is an incredible story with a very fitting moral... wear your PFD! AND maintain them properly so they work when it is most important... when your life is on the line!

Sinjin Kim

Great story. Not only does Bill serve as a great ambassador to the sport of bass fishing, he risks his life to help others as a fire fighter. Bravo Zulu!

Very saddening. May she rest in peace.

When it is extremely cold (Kosovo burrrrr....!), I've done well wearing a long underwear, fleece pants/sweater under military extreme foul weather gear.

That was a good one!

Congrats Brian. I am sure you will do a fine job just as you always have.

I really look forward to fishing Irvine! Very nice mix.

Sinjin Kim

You know deep down inside Skeet is thinking, "Those stupid mothsdfse s359#&#%&(#&#(%$!!!!" lol

All about being PC in front of the media.

Sinjin Kim

Less "All-In" entry fee (plus it covers lakes fees and food in the stomach) and much better pay outs. Hope the other circuits begin to step up to the plate.

BTW, although I have never won a 100% event, I sure miss the organization. Awesome payout structure!

Sinjin Kim

That is one thing wrong with the judicial system of America. The punishments are too lenient. Coming out of a plane in other countries, I've seen signs in the airports that stated drug offenders were punishable by death! lol That sure as hell will make criminals think twice. Not the case with our co...

Sinjin Kim

From the few events I've fished, I was stunned to hear boats on plane zipping across the lake with all their lights off! Talk about insanity and risking the lives of themselves and others. Could you imagine a couple guys trying to enjoy what they love doing and getting blind-sided by a maniac planin...

Sinjin Kim

With the type of season Skeet has had, it would be a shame if he lets it slip away. But then again, who better else to lose the AOY title than KVD?

Sinjin Kim

Didn't Berkley have a million dollar bounty on the world record bass (if caught with one of their products)?

Sinjin Kim

What is your budget on the combo? I personally have all the Lamiglas dropshot rod series (XPS 702 X, XPS 702, & EXS 661) and very happy with all but one of them; the SR 743 (very top heavy and completely out of balance). As for reel, can't go wrong with a Stradic 1000 (new or old versions). I us...

When I was in the service, I remember everyone doing their best to live up to the core values: Honor, Courage and Commitment. In Hart's case: Shady, Spineless and Disgraceful. How some on here would give even an ounce of remorse to this cheat is what is truly sad. I don't speculate he has cheated in...

I am in a bit of a rush but I just got a call and was asked to write this. The co-angler was a pro from S. Korea. From the story that I've gathered, the co-angler was asked to grab the trolling motor while the boater was doing something in the back (culling I am expecting). That is all that the co-a...

Sinjin Kim

I'll get the rope, who has a big enough tree in their front yard?

Sinjin Kim

I may be filling in for another angler who can't fish the event.

Do I need to pay the membership fee?

Exactly my thought.

Dave, I saw this clip on a friend's Facebook wall. I suppose it may have been a hoax, but why someone would go through so much trouble is beyond my comprehension. Also, stripers die rather quickly (even in a livewell) and a striper of that size would be tough to bring down to the Lagoon from the upp...

Hi Bantam,

When can we expect the Curado 50 to hit the market?

Sinjin Kim

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phJnnqL9 ... r_embedded

How in the world did this fish get in there or grow to that size? I was under the impression stripers couldn't survive in the lagoon.

Sinjin Kim

Sounds like a blast!

Sinjin Kim

Cooch has more fishing experience than most of us on the board. I've used many of his suggestions and it has helped me perform better on the water and it gives that extra boost of confidence which always helps. with the exception of ONE! Round Abu Garcia 6500 reels are NOT the best reels ever made. ...

Considering it is half the price of most fluorocarbon lines, I thought I give it a shot but wanted to get some opinions first before going out and p...

Seaguar Inviz-X has never failed me. I've used 6-20# tests and have always used the San Diego Jam knot. The line's diameter is super fine, limp, casts extremely well and low in memory. I've used Trilene 100% FC and although the line is strong, the line is SUPER THICK! I've been recently using Seagua...

So I've heard from several folks that the Lagoon will not be stocked this coming winter and possibly winters to follow. Is there any truth to this?

Sinjin Kim

My thoughts and prayers goes out to you and your family Lee.

Sinjin Kim

That is awesome! Congrats!

When I left the lake I felt like someone smeared peanutbutter all over my body , then rolled me in dirt!! Confused Embarassed LMAO! Thanks for the laugh Pete! You guys are so used to catching donkeys at DVL. You have to fish 2# test and little crappie jigs to catch bass at Elsinore, lol. But then a...

Great fisherman and a really good year. I always wonder why the always refer to him as "Damiki pro Bryan Thrift" . They don't call Skeet "Lucky Craft pro Skeet Reese" or "Strike King pro Kevin VanDam" Because it is FLW. They are all about promoting their sponsors name....

Tackle Warehouse by far the best prices and best service. I often purchase over a $500 (excluding rods and reels) in tackle and with the array of items I order, I not once have had a single issue with my order and it was SHIPPED for FREE and received it the following day every time! Tackle Warehouse...

Spotfin croakers prefer bait over artificials. Mussel, clams, ghost shrimp would be ideal baits although some have been known to be caught on sand crabs. Lugworms should work well too. Like other croaker species, they tend to hang out in the deeper end of the surf zone although they sometime will mo...

Sinjin Kim

I haven't fished the San Diego surf much, but the SoCal surf scene is pretty much the same if you know what you are looking for. Here are some articles I wrote for my site. If you want to catch halibut from the surf on bass gear, definitely check it out. http://www.surffishinginsider.com/category/ar...

Daiwa reels are pretty but they have the absolute worst drags. I've mentioned this issue to many of the reps years ago but still no changes. 8.8# of drag pressure (jerky, not smooth) is the max on most of the low profiled reels and in order to achieve that amount of pressure, you have to really cran...

Sinjin Kim

Seems like a super strong knot but way too complicated and time consuming. For light line (6-8#) I have never had a breakage with a uni to uni knot and for anything heavier, I personally have complete confidence with a modified albright. Both are easy to tie and quick.

Sinjin Kim

From my limited experience in bed fishing, when I wasn't able catch the fish on smaller baits (especially when the fish shows no interest), I used a Huddleston rigged with a trap hook right at the tail and almost every time, the uninterested fish would slam the larger profiled bait. I suppose the th...

Can someone give me some details as to the blanks that are used? Do they make their own blanks or are they private labeling blanks made by a manufacturer? Thanks

Can't remember exactly how deep but it was definitely 40+ deep at DVL. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n212/halijedi/DVL001.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n212/halijedi/DVL002.jpg A C-Rig green pumpkin Brush Hog or a tube with a 3/4oz. http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/descpageBTMEJIGHEAD-BG...

I will strongly take that into consideration and have my V.P. run a case/market study on FLW Stren. As for NG and Tour, I am not leaning that way, but since the entry fees for FLW Stren is within reason, I may consider paying entry fees for Stren series.

Thanks.

Sinjin Kim

After speaking with several Elite Series pros, I know that it doesn't always cost 100s of thousand to sponsor and Elite Series pro and this figure is limited to highly visible anglers such as KVD, Skeet and a few others. The entry fees for Elite Series, FLW NG and FLW Tours are very similar and from...
