Sorry to hear the fish are still not cooperating. Seems to be it's a-rig or die right now. I'm going to see if I can make it through the winter without throwing the rig (pretty easy to do when you can't fish because of the weather). But I don't fish tourneys. From what I can tell, if you want to win a tourney you have to throw the rig.

Very nice web site, good job!

I think it was 3 years ago, AGC stocked some cats in the Buffalo. It was an effort to improve the population. Haven't heard anything more since then.

There's an annual tournament in Texas - can't remember the name, it's held at Lake Conroe outside of Houston, made up of pros from the FLW and Elite series. The lake has a 1 fish only regulation and it's a slot limit, so if they get one that's in the slot they'll keep it to show at the weigh-in, but all others are weighed and released. They have a marshal on board that verifies the weight with the pro. Since the tourney is televised they have some video on some of the boats, but it is not there as a weight verification tool. The format seems to work well, and I don' see why it could not be used on the bigger tournaments where you have plenty of volunteers to be marshals.

That looks deadly..

I'm hoping you're right. I hate those things.

First time I've heard about that "secret" provision. They could have a great product, but still be a poorly run company. And that info won't be public until after the IPO. Oh well.

Saw the scores in the paper and looks like Mizou lost to Ol' Miss. I haven't seen Miss. play but they must have a fairly decent team. It seems no one can emerge from that mid-tier of SEC teams to challenge Kentucky and Florida.

Yep that's my problem - I'm not fishing! But it looks like later this week I may have a chance to get out.

I missed that one, thanks for posting!

This is a symptom of severe cabin fever.

Some nice chunks there, thanks for the report.

I never have been a fan of highly publicized initial offerings. The big brokerage firms get in at the offering price, buy up all the stock and then sell it to the public at a huge mark-up. I like Go-Pros products but don't know enough about their financial situation to make any kind of prediction on how it does.

Those are big ones!

Yeah this weather stinks. I am also sorting/re-arranging/organizing lures and tackle.

I bet Shaw Grigsby was wishing he had a net when he got that 5+ lb. smallie to the boat only to see it pull off the hook. Not that he would have caught KVD anyway.

Come on spring time!

Now they are saying we have the potential for a few inches Tuesday.

A couple of years ago when we had a couple of nights of below zero temps, including one night where it hit -14, I hoped for a dillo die-off. It did not happen.

Well, looks like a few more days at least of no fishing.

Long range forecast does not look bad, of course it's hard to trust it.

I'll be happy with three days of 50's.

Dang that sounds like an awesome trip. Any estimate on the really big browns that got off?

50's in the forecast for late this week!

Good stuff for sure.
