Iclass

Agree there's lots of misinterpretation...but the bigger hypocritical issue to me is that in another thread guys were praising the right to wave the American flag...yet the same guys are pissing on the freedoms of another members rights.

I don't understand the debate. The man did nothing wrong, only thing wrong with the pic was he wasn't wearing a jersey to get the pisser and moaner more aggravated. I grew up in SE Ark where old timers keep EVERYTHING they catch and those waters still produce. Wanna see pressure? Go to Pickwick, Kentucky, Guntersville lakes. Wanna cry about the resource? Quit wasting time/energy on a message board, get in touch with people that can do something about stocking bass...they ain't here. If enough people complain, and there is really a problem, stockings will take place. As far as being a person with high morals/ethics for not sight fishing during a tourney? Please...if you're fishing water less than 15 feet deep, you're taking fish off beds. It baffles me the "I'm better than you" attitude portrayed by certain people. I can promise I ain't better than anyone but I guarantee you ain't better than me because I choose to exercise my legal and GOD given right to eat a fish!

Pretty sure he said they've increased participation every year... And also pretty sure the winning fish was caught around holiday island couple years back, if that ain't lake wide not sure what is

Lol... Provided 5 members with tackle and a fishing trip.... Mark just gave a 19 year kid a brand new boat....

Wow a guy responds to being attacked and he's insensitive? Oh yeah I forgot this is a forum to speak your mind as long as you agree with certain members...Geez The OBBT staff must have worn jerseys, that makes them jerks/insensitive/ego maniacs

Thanks, that's awesome!

Based on last years field what was the percentage of return to the field?

I have seen bass with hooks coming out the vent...not sure if the hook would've passed naturally but they pulled out very easy. The bigger concern to me is the plastic worms etc that people toss overboard. The fish and other animals eat these and the plastic expands. This causes a full feeling for the fish/animals and they'll starve for lack of feeding. If you've never seen a plastic worm left in the water it doesn't take too long for it to swell. That accounts for many more fish deaths than gut hooking in my opinion.

They got that too, 8-12# back ordered til April 27

Tackle warehouse has every # test in stock of Gamma edge...

That's the jersey everybody should wear!!

The free coffee is next to the jerseys.

Thanks, didn't want a ticket from MDC. I got 5 more months left!!

only way I'd be happier with mine is if it was wrapped and I had a jersey!

2007. 20 ft Iclass. I'm very biased but it is the smoothest riding bass boat I've been in. If I was to buy again, I'd look hard at a bass cat, skeeter quit making the Iclass, replaced by the FX series which isn't as smooth from what I hear.

My skeeter is the smoothest ride I've ever been in. Got wet once, lake had 3 foot rollers...don't think many folk out that day made it back dry

Does it expire then even if it was bought in Ark? Mine says expires one year from date of purchase

So are cow farts...

Older I get, more I feel the need for partner in winter just for my peace of mind

Anybody see the infomercial? wow

Didn't they have a double decker of sorts boat trailer back in the early 90s? Pretty sure I ran into them while gassing up several years ago, awesome guys! Seemed like they were more excited someone knew them than I was getting to meet them, talked for so long I was late to school

Then why care who uses what

I'd think it's more of an equalizer, not so much the other way. Would it level the field for the unskilled to go buy anything and compete against guys that fish TR regular? It's a big fish tourney for a trophy...Geez

How do you keep the elaztech from melting the box?

Well Champ, I usually have my eyes open when I read. Your stance on these "goobers" has been widely documented on this board, if it's not that much of a problem for you let it go...your point is taken. Maybe your predetermined opinion of those guys wearing a jersey affects you to where any action they do rubs you wrong before they even do anything. It's must be nice to know who is and who isn't sponsored just by looking at a guy. I haven't fished at the highest level, but have been fortunate to be in a boat, with many pros and semi pros. Most of the guys are above respectful, even Tommy Biffle and Edwin Evers, who have been blasted on this site. I try not to base my opinion on one encounter with a person as every one has bad days and/or makes mistakes. I pray those I've offended would give me benefit of the doubt as well. I have a jersey that was given to me by the dealer I bought my boat from, I've never worn it because it's not comfortable to me. They actually sent me a shirt and hoodie for my birthday for a couple years, that I gladly wear to promote them. But I would hope that if I ever had the chance to meet you, I'd get the benefit of the doubt that I'm not much of a goober if I happen to be wearing a jersey. I guess the time I spent in SE Ark made me realize not to judge a book by it's cover, most often the pages inside reveal what a person is really like.
