Some people are just idiots. Anybody who would swerve out of his way to hit a turtle has got a mental problem.

E-Commerce at it's best. Can't help but be impressed by this company. In a "not so ideal" economy, they thrive where others flat line. The customer service they provide seems excellent. Looks like a group of Cal-Poly grads who were into fishing. What has been your experience with them?

Nice!!! get out the fillet knife, That pic makes me hungry! I need fried fish right now...and it's not even 6 in the morning. I'm having trouble telling if that's a lure or a bobber in the first picture? What were you using for bait/lure?

Well, obviously, I scoffed but it is great to know that this fish was in the population and still producing eggs. No way to prove it either way so I guess its a mute point. I suppose they could apply a season to the lakes like they do the rivers.

Huge fish, kind of sucks he caught on a bed with a shaky head!

Well Joe, the picture you posted with the fish covering your face was from a now "well known" stream. Al, Siusaluki, and I went to that stream in the middle of the week last year and found out of state plates at the put in. Al was passed by 5 or more kayakers and if memory serves were fishing live bait. I found the fishing pretty average at best. As far as blogs go, some are good and some aren't. I know Siusaluki's blog is great!

Good point Jerry!

That's a hog man!!

I've been thinking about this for quite a while. I've been disappointed in Tabke Rock in the last few years, thinking a 7.5 would come from there. All of the tournaments down there don't seem to produce many, if any over 6. Stockton has the record now but haven't heard of any big ones from there either. Don't think the rivers stand a chance.Maybe the record won't be broken for a while. But if I were to bet, I guess I would still go with Table Rock.

Can you all fit in a badazz Yugo?

Sounds great Matt, I'm coming!

Your dad is my new hero!

A few good tips!

Totally agree, When you boil it down, the 1650 is a good design for most Missouri ( ozark) bigger streams. Zipstick has an 1848 ( I think) or very close to that, and definately navigates more tightly than my 1650. When it comes to moving thru shallower water, my 1650 can go much shallower. There's always a trade off with the hull design. One of the things I like about the Express 1650D is that it has a totally open floor ( I dont have any fixed seating ), therefore I have a big cooler for the passenger to sit on and adjust his position as needed. The farther back he slides the faster I can go, the farther up he slides (within reason) the shallower I can go. Just my opinion but I'm so used to a tiller I would have to re-adjust for a counsole. But I am willing to learn!

Thanks Exile, you too! God Bless!!

Eric, is your buddy the St Charles hardwoods guy that used to be at 94 and Ofallon Rd?

Eric, I always thought you looked like Norm Abram

Beautiful Eric!

Well it's good to know there are smallies like that big one in the river! Nice video!!

Nice JD, the bees will be happy

Daryk, the crackheads $20 gun won't pass thru a metal detector, the point is no matter how much gun control is out there we now have the ability to make our own, completely untraceable

Guys, this is not "pie in the sky" this is reality. In 10 hours I can make one myself: http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2012/12/21/click-print-shoot-guns-made-on-3-d-printers-not-as-farfetched-idea-as-it-sounds/?intcmp=features 3D printers can print a variety if materials now, not like the old days.

FB is Facebook. The ideal way to hold a fish is far enough away from your body to make it look big without anyone knowing your doing it.

Cool stuff, thanks for sharing!
