I haven't been fishing in a couple of weeks, haven't played with any new lures.
So I have nothing to say.
But I plan to be on the water starting tomorrow.
I stuck with it to about midway through the 3rd quarter. Didn't have any dogs in the fight, so I didn't care that much. Wish they would start the game an hour earlier, and quit reviewing every other play, it's turning into a 4 hour marathon.
I just got a couple, and you are right, the red is more of a phantom color - picture is kind of deceiving. If I shake it sideways, I can get a bit of a rattle, maybe that's a good thing, subtle rattle instead of a loud rattle like a lot of cranks have.
You can slow swim a fixed bobber and you jig remains at depth. You pull on a slip bobber set-up and you pull your jig up, can't move your bobber with out pulling the jig up to the float - then you have to let it drop again after you move it.
According to the rule, he did not "Complete the process". Good call, bad rule. I wish he would have just tucked the ball into his chest and caught the ball rather than try and stretch it across the goal line. The ball didn't cross the goal line until after it came out of his hand, so can't really apply the crossing the goal line situation here.

TW is sold out of all colors except Mudbug. Poor little Mudbug, nobody likes him..
Saw my buddy Jeb catch one that was 3.5, and I've seen several weigh-ins and have never seen one over 4 at those weigh-ins. I've heard stories of bigger ones, but that's about it.
Any Beaver smallie over 3 lbs. is one to be proud of IMO.
Seems like we have to have one of these "airing of grievances" threads about twice a year. I'm surprised it has gone this far without someone mentioning jet skis, wake boats and the like.
