  1. I think keeping them under a covered area is probably key, I wheel mine out of the garage and back in when im done and have never had an issue
  2. my mom got a little bumper pull camper and she has to book her trips 6 months out. To me that kinda takes away from just being random and not having a plan. Ive always thought if i can tow my house i would want to do whatever wherever at the drop of a hat
  3. IT doesnt really have the head of a cottonmouth but it was just so much longer than most the common water snakes i see. The Lizard in its mouth had to be a foot long
  4. Not much of a fishing report, took two 8 year olds and didnt catch them very well at all but i did see this assuming its a cottonmouth eating a hellbender??? Im not really privy on my reptiles
  5. If anyone is in the Ozark area the Christian county discount freight store has The Pit Boss Sportsman 500 for around $300. Well worth it. I usually go to the Farm and Home store in Ozark for pellets. They sell Bear Mountain pellets which i like a lot and they are reasonably priced
  6. Ive had 3 different Pit Boss. The first one was a 700 classic and it was great ended up giving it to my parents. Then i got a Laredo 1000 and it was just way to big, it took forever to get hot and went through a lot of pellets. I sold it and no have a smaller Sportsman 500 which is my favorite because of the size, I can still put 4 racks of ribs on it so it is plenty for me. Ive never had any issues with any of mine and i use grill at least 3 times a week
  7. IT sounds like a good gig to me, I drive for work just as much as any of those pros drive, i still come home and fish more than 9 tournaments a year. Like wrench said most these guys already have money and hardly any of them rely on tournament winnings
  8. Did that include carpeting in the rod lockers?
  9. James River under Lake Springfield. The big ones are on the other side of the dam
  10. Huh? have you actually used lithium for trolling? I use wet sell for starting, 3 graphs, and livescope and those are great, cant run anything else due to the charging system on my engine. But if you think lithium's are not good for trolling your either a troll or dont have a boat. I can run 3.79mph with my garmin on 24V. voltage isnt goint to slow you down with a lithium they just last longer.
  11. That one only fought for a brief time, and then it laid over and i grabbed it
  12. Went with the plan to troll for walleye as i usually do fairly well in late August and September, the green scum on the water didnt make that to easy. IT was exactly where I needed to troll. So the little and i ran up to the dam and had a little fun. The baby Eagle looks like he is about ready to fly, hes been peaking his head out of the nest since spring. Mom wasnt far within eyeshot of the nest. Water up at the dam was pretty dingy and 67 degrees. pretty cool compared to 82 at the Beaver Marina. I caught a big drum on a big crankbait. Then the little guy decided a chatterbait was what he wanted and sure enough first cast caught a 4.16 Largemouth. He's 8 but little for his age, at one point i thought i was going to lose my kid or my rod, they are strong in that cool water. Overall we about had the place to ourselves, not many people out, thats why i love the Bull. Little man is going to be my partner tomorrow in the USA Bassin out of Mill on TR. Hes wound up about it, been getting his rods ready since we got home from Bull
  13. IT probably just got lost in his emails, when im ready to do it ill more than likely use them, I had a buddy get his done last year and it looks great, About how much did they charge for your ranger?
  14. I requested a quote from them a couple of weeks ago and sent them pics and they never got back with me
  15. Ive had lithium right at about a year. I decided to be a guinea pig and try out some from amazon. I like to troll using my trolling motor for walleye and deep cycle batteries would only last 2-4 hours. The ones i ot from amazon are called Chins. i put 2 100ah in and they have been great so far, ive trolled for 6 hours and they were still going strong. Didnt even take that long to charge them when i got home. Ive read and read till my eyes couldnt take it anymore about batteries. For the most part they are all made in China and the different companies slap their label on it and call it their own. Just like half the lead batteries out there lots of them are made by Deka but different companies put their own branding on them
  16. Im thinking getting new, its about the same cost either way. Ill check into that link though
  17. Hey for $57 i can replace it every two years. ITs kinda a trial run. My boat never had carpet on the floor and it was slick as piss in the morning with the dew. I keep m boat in my shop too so it will have limited sun
  18. I got a sheet of this i think it was 36"x8' from amazon for $57. ITs a little rough around the edges, the stuff is difficult to cut straight. Rounded the corners with a sander. We will see if it holds up. Just need some new seats now and carpet on the decks
  19. I put fancy wheels on the old ladies car and they couldnt put new TPMS sensors in them because they are three piece and the valve stem come out in a weird way. ( well they could but it was going to be $500). Anyway, i got sick of the light being on so i got new sensors had them programmed and put them in a pressurized PVC pipe i glued up with a shrader valve and threw it in the trunk. 4 years and havent seen the light since
  20. Its like all the guys obsessing with making sure their electronics link up to their graphs. I have had that for years and do not use it one bit. In fact my graph lost connection with my troller last year and i never bothered to take the 30 seconds to link it back up because i just dont see the benefit.
  21. Heres the link to the audio of when Spencer didnt know his mic was hot, he doesnt admit to cheating but it is obviously things were sketchy in that whole tournament https://drive.google.com/file/d/19eAghxkeohRCYnHkRM_XDH8Yer0Re0PS/view
  22. They dont even need the polygraph it clear as day on video he didnt show is boat official the fish was hooked in the mouth before he released it
  23. Glen, quit giving people logic let, them F up and fix it for them. I always bite the bullet every year and buy the expensive plugs for mine. I mix my oil so i figure $65 a year is worth it
  24. With livescope, they can be 100' off and still easy to find, i also think the AGAF puts in much larger brush piles than MO
