I agree, nice meanmouth, oops, hybrid.

I have used the KVD stuff and as someone mentioned above, it seems to last for about 10 casts.

I did a little poking around on the web, looks like they are going to stock rainbows again in the lower lagoon. They made some modifications that will prevent rainbows escaping into the river. There does appear to be something of a steelhead run on the river (Santa Clara) and much effort to restore the run. I hope they are able to do so.

I believe it is Castaic where they stopped stocking trout, that's the lake that produced some huge bass. Something to do with rainbow trout escaping the lake and the danger that those escapees could somehow spawn with native steelhead below the dam, except that there haven't been any steelhead seen there in years. I read somewhere that they are considering triploids as they can't spawn.

Liverwurst out of the round sausage like packaging, sliced thick, on white bread with mayo - good stuff!

I like this video, photography is really well done. C'mon weather, warm up, I am ready to go fishing!

I know someone's brother that caught a 9.5 on a trotline a couple of years ago. It was released alive.

I have a new fishing buddy, Mike, that lives here in BV. He haunts HLS, I just call him to get what I need, he's already there. Perfect way to get stuff before you get there to clean them out.

I hear you on that, but I just don't see BPS letting them be Cabelas like Cabelas used to be. I would also like to see Cabelas remain Cabelas, and not some kind of hybrid where you don't know what they'll be doing long term as far as products. I don't think that is going to happen. That's why I'd like to see them just go full BPS and end the speculation.

I love Spam - think slices right out of the can, mustard and white bread. I realize it ain't a health food, so I don't do it very often.

I would be OK with them redoing the Cabelas in Rogers to make it BPS. Get 'er done and quit messing around.

Did they have an Ozark stream exhibit? Be neat to see one with the smaller fish in it, sculpins, darters, etc.,

Go get him guys, we need our Babler reports!

Well I just removed and replaced about half my lineup.

Well I was hoping for some good fishing today, but it was not to be. Took my buddy Mike over with me, we launched at Eagle Rock and worked our way downstream, mainly fishing points and steep banks, usually throwing the Ned with a little jerk bait tossing mixed in. We finished with a grand total of 4 bass, 2 of them were fat keeper spots. Deep fish, around 20 feet down. Wind really started howling later in the morning which did not help. Saw some diving birds, they probably caught more than we did. Wt 42-44

Cool. glad to see it working, neat older reels. I think they made those late 80's early 90's.

Those are some Mongos! (Blazing Saddles was on again last night). Mongo like!

Cool, we look forward to seeing the 2 of you there!

Just keep the Z-Man stuff in there. The corners of the box start to curl up after a couple of months, and I'll just toss the box and get another one when that happens, those little Plano boxes are only $2.50 each.

Just so happens the latest issue of Bass Times has an article on boat safety and handling (what a coincidence!). Van Dam was a contributor and he claims that there's a maneuver you can do with a bass boat where basically you do a 90 degree turn coming off plane and can stop it pretty quick. He didn't go into details on how to do it, and it's not something I would try unless I received instruction on how to do it.

Saw Bo's post about getting some fish on the Ned, decided I would do a little bank fishing on a spot near Eagle Rock, figuring if I could get a few there that it would be worth hauling the boat over in the near future. There was a bite for sure, caught 5 largemouth, had another 3 pull off, in a couple of hours of banking it. All on the Ned. 2 of them were keeper sized. Had a boat pull into the bank about 50 yards behind me to a stretch of bank where I had caught a couple - a couple of guys tossing A-rigs. I watched them for a while, I was curious if they would get any. They did get a couple, one looked to be about keeper sized and the other was a decent fish that they weighed and photographed - I'd say about 4 lbs., but a nice bass will look pretty small from 75 yards away. Well I am encouraged, I plan to get out there soon. Lousy cell phone pics, didn't have my real camera with me.

Dangerfield: I remember the time I was kidnapped and they sent back a piece of my finger to my father. He said he wanted more proof.
