Well you got me to thinking how many I carry in the boat so I went and laid them out and took a picture. I do have one more NRX that I just bought that is not in the picture as I still need to put a reel on it. Then the wife wants to bring along around 10 of her own. I have another 10 or so rods that I use as pond rods that never get in the bass boat. All rods pictured are G-Loomis............

Thanks for the pics! Amazing how high the water is. Really hope the water spigot gets turned off soon for you all! Hoping the lake gets back to normal by first of may when the wife and I will be there on vacation.

Wow that is amazing. Hope you all stay safe down there!!!!

Holy cow!! When was that picture taken?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!!!!

I meant it to read like you would be the one catching the winner so he should be worried about you keeping all the winnings to yourself.

You might should be more worried about her keeping it all to herself!!!

Only thing I can add is to buy some of Dtrs5kprs jig heads for the Ned Rig stuff.

Those are tutti fruitty and parrot. Both are factory colors. The only repaints in all the boxes are some missouri craws and a couple phantoms.

If someone makes these worthless I am gonna be pissed!! LOL Actually I wouldn't care as I bought all of them to fish with not collect.

Great job Champ!!! The way my Nebraska rifle deer season went; I should have just came down there fishing instead!! LOL Buddy of mine did pass up a couple real nice ones because they were younger deer. We are hoping they turn into something special if they can make it through our muzzleloader season. Hopefully the Kansas deer season goes better.

You really need to put up a warning before posting a picture like that!!!

I hope the game and parks can figure out what is going on. I REALLY hope that something isn't going on that will hurt the fish population too much!! We love it down there and it is terrible to hear about a fish die off any kind.

Got it and sent one back. Thank you!!

Great trip!!! Wife and I will be at roy and clear in SD the middle of July. If there are other lakes we should look at up there let me know.

Don't remember the guy. Maybe it was my buddy who helped him while i was taking care of my boat.

LOL At least you remember their old slogan.

I know there was a lot of rudeness but I must also say I saw a lot of good things as well. I saw a bunch of people obviously coming to fish a stretch of bank we were on only to turn away and leave us be. Actually fished this stretch of bank for over 3 hours saturday and sunday and not one person cut in. Nobody asked to either or I would have shared it as it was a 300 yard stretch or so and the lake was crowded. I had a couple other specific spots I wanted to fish but there were people over 150-200 yards away. I asked from a distance if they cared if I fished that spot and both times the people had no problems with it. Fished my little spot and then got out of their way. Had another spot I was going to fish but someone was on it so started to leave. They waved me in and said to go ahead and fish. We told them thanks but wanted to give them their room. We saw (and helped out too) a LOT of people helping each other at the ramp getting boats in and out if someone was by themselves or needed help. Maybe we got lucky but we saw very little bad behavior.

Yeah it was dark for sure. I am just glad you were there so my buddy didn't think i was totally nuts for getting there so early. Lol. Thought we had a good spot located and wanted to get on it early. Turns out it wasnt so good afterall. Caught fish just not the size we needed. Definitely did not want you thinking we were going to cut ahead of you but knew we had a bunch of stuff to do to get ready and didnt want to tie up the staging lane. Was easier to just park in a spot and get ready.

Thanks. I will do some more searching on here and see what I can dig up.

Had some work done on the boat at Springfield so I am going to be stopping at Pomme on the way home (nebraska) to fish for a couple days. Will be there friday and saturday(29th & 30th) so if you see the boat (blue/silver Charger) in my avatar stop by and say hi. With that said it will be my first time on Pomme so if anyone is willing to give me some ideas on what to look for to catch some bass it would be GREATLY appreciated. Not looking for anyones specific spots; just in general what type areas I should be looking at this time of year. Thanks for any help!!!

Certainly can understand wanting some heat after being cold and having a rough night of fishing.

Are you sure it was a ranger that pulled in second after you Saturday morning at the state park ramp? We pulled in with my Charger and there was only one other person there and he was getting his boat ready. Was that you? We were in the Dodge diesel with a topper and had the cover on the boat yet. If that was you and us; it proves that Charger guys can be wrong! LOL

I am not a tourny guy so take this with a grain of salt. Would it not help the learning process to stay for the weigh-in on the times you don't catch them. I would think it would help to learn from what worked on the nights you did not catch them.
