  1. I watched the first part of it. I'll find time to watch all of it soon. What I have seen of it so far was good.
  2. KOKO LRF. I appreciate what you do. This is one of your busiest times of the year. It wasn't really a day. I left the house at about 330 PM and was home right aroud 7 PM. So just a quick trip I grilled some steaks that my wife had marinated and we had baked sweet potatoes on the side. I finished off the last of the Chocolate Bread Pudding I made last Sunday. Good eats. Another good trip with another "stranger" that became a friend thru OA. He did hog all the smallies though so I may have to rethink this.
  3. Grizwilson and his wife are down for a few days. Griz and I have been trying to fish together for about a year. Schedule conflicts, bad weather, illness, and changing plans all worked against us, but finally we got to fish together on the White today. Griz fished with his wife this morning, but he was nice enough to join me for a couple of hours this afternoon. We started a little after four and quit a little after six. We caught them early and often and left them biting. We had 12 doubles. I ended up with 40. I lost both the bigger trout I had hooked. Griz went all Liitle Red Fisherman on me and caught a really nice smallie (about 16 inches). Griz had caught them on a Zig Jig before but really seemed to put it all together when we fished together. We was catching them really good the second half of our trip Good fisherman and a good guy. I hope he's able to make the Jigfest deal. Thanks Griz!
  4. Darbonne has a LOT of wood left in it. You can only run the main creek channel everything has to be a slow idle. It's really spread out. I never fished it a whole lot because I preferred Caney. I did have several really good crappie trips during the cold weather part of the year.
  5. Several guys have expressed interest in a swimbait rod or alabama rig rod. Give it a little while.

    Now that Romo is staying upright, he has a good run game and multiple good receivers, He is suddenly a pretty good QB. I hate the comboys, but it doesn't blind me to reality.

    It's all connected though. Brady isn't the QB he once was, but give him an O line that can block, a btter running back corps, and better receivers, a defense that gives him short fields and an extra possession per game, and he'd be MONEY again Brady IS NOT the problem in NE> I'm happy to see them struggle, but I'm not going to take Brady to task for something that he's not the root cause of.

    OK , I went and looked at current starting QB's. In the AFC, there are 5 QB's that I would start before A.Snmith; Manning, Luck, Rivers, Brady, and the Date Rapist. In the NFC, there are 8 QB's that I would start before I would start him; Brees, Rodgers, Wilson, Cutler, Romo, Ryan, Stafford, and Folds.

    I think Alex Smith is better than half the QB's in the league. I don't think he is Top 5 and maybe not Top 10, but he's Top 15.
  10. NO WAY they are making it above the Bull Shoals dam UNLESS they are illegally introduced.
  11. Nope. I had some other species of sucker hooked, but it came off. I had a log pearch interested, but then it spooked. I had a Rainbow Darter hooked a month or so ago and I had some varity of shiner hooked that had a white vertical band on its tail centered between to black areas. I would have had to look him up. I actively fished for a Quillback the other day and I'm not sure BUT I think he flipped me off inbetween totally ignoring me. I spent a couple hours during a full time creek trip fishing for suckers and I was totally ignored. Zeroed on suckers. I did cauct 73 smallies and Ozark Bass though.
  12. One bat every 40 years is NOT a good enough fly for me. Let me know when you get something that gets you a bat a trip. Thanks.
  13. I've got a 20 guage youth model H&R that kicks more than a 12 guage Auto for sure.
  14. I would think so. It worked out very nicely last time.
  15. I'll be sleeping at the crib soooooooo. I'm not voting. I'm hoping to fish everyday that guys are up (or down) for it.

    Please find where I stated that I wanted Reid and Smith gone. I've never felt that way and talking to Chief fans that I know I did my best to convince them to give him a little time. The Chiefs have a Good coach and a Good team, let's see if they can get a little luck.

    It's nice that they are able to have a change up back to spell Jamaal Charles from time to time. Davis has been great. If Bowe continue to grow into the offense look out. Jimmy Graham is a TE that clamis he should be considered a Wide Receiver. Bowe is a WR than plays more like a TE, but that's OK too. Those multiple TE sets are a matchup nightmare for the other team's defense. Go Chiefs!
  18. I live here so I usually let the out of town folks have it, but The White River is a big river with fish from the BSL dam to Mtn View. There will be more ppl than normal, but I think you'll have the room you need.
  19. Holy Crap. I didn't know that many motorcycles existed. It definitely impacted traffic. I knew to stay away on a FB saturday in Piggy City, but I learned to stay away on this weekend too. We were third car on scene after guy ate a rock wall west of Eureka Springs. EMS arrived quickly. I don't think they were too terribly injured. Crazy amount of bikes and amazingly enough not all the women on back of the motorcycles were fat.
  20. The young ladies that help me at the Customer Service desk were great. I overheard one guy going off on a young man at the Customer Service Desk. The customer misread the mailer he got. It said spend >$100 in the Bargin Cave and get an additional $30 off. He spend > $100 in the main store and was mad he didn't get $30 off. He stormed off in a huff saying he'd never be back.
  21. Made a trip over there today. I had purchased some items online, that I wanted to return and/or exchange. The customer service reps were great. I was able to get credit for my returns and exchange a reel that I bought the wrong size online. I had a pair of Guidewear bibs that failed on me and I was able to get partial store credit. I did not have a receipt, but it was Cabela's brand stuff. I thought they were more than fair. The store is beautiful. Well stocked and well organized. I certainly did not have the store to myself, but it wasn't the Zoo that the Springfield BPS always seems to be. I really was happy with the service and the store. I look forward to going again.
  22. I talked with the former AGFC Trout Specialist and his opinion was that dumping the cutties in the White was marginally better than dumping them in the parking lot. I love catching them and have caught a few decent ones, but they in general do poorly. I love me some Brookies, but mostly they are expensive Brown trout food. The White River is fishing great. Lots of Fat and Happy Rainbows. Lots and Lots. And lots.

    Hogs Blow It..

    I really wish the Razorbacks would have beaten Tamu. They certainly should have. Darn.
  24. . I don't agree. Some jackass with a gun shoots a young dog that is on "his" land without regard to any other aspect of the digs behavior is at fault. That guy is out of control and needs a visit from law enforcement.
  25. That's pretty over the top. Sometimes pets find a way to get loose and wander a bit. It sown't mean that the owner doesn't care if they roam and doesn't mean the owner is being negligent. Shooting someone's pet because it encroached on your territory isn't right. You might start a really ugly situation because of your intolerance.
