IF WE ARE SO LUCKY TO BE CHOSEN.......... If we are so lucky to be among those who are CALLED BY GOD and CHOSEN BY JESUS to be resurrected or raptured, on the 'Day of Salvation', it is because of NOTHING WE HAVE DONE to deserve or earn eternal life with the exception of OUR BELIEVING THE TRUTH OF TH...

Fran, being from Minnesota, I am sure that you heard of the Griz. When Dick was younger, he guided on Winnie, Mille Lac and other lakes. Now that he's a lot older, Dick mostly fishes the Mississippi and St.Croix river in the twin cities with his jon boat. I have fished with Dick starting in the 1980...

Jim, thanks for posting this video of Denny. I think I could water ski behind his boat! 6+ miles per hour on the troll. It's no wonder he could not catch them on the cast after he found them trolling. I was looking at the Daiwa website the other day and saw that Daiwa has a baitcasting reel that tak...

TN Dave,

Here's a video that shows the Mercury Big Tiller Power System in action.

John, in the Contact Point thread, you made the comment "Many have gotten rid of their no bo line. They go to braid and never go back. This is a mistake. Use the no bo for down to 15-18 ft and then braid or wire." Please explain why you believe that it's a mistake to troll with braid in 15...

Hal, what brand and model of electric reels did you purchase when you sold your Okuma line counter reels?

My wife says it's time for us to switch to electric reels for trolling spoonplugs.

Hal, check your PM's.

Thanks

Champ,

Yes, I was aware of the video date but it explained why Don had to put his on the water videos on hold and his plans for the future. Many including myself knew that Don was dealing with health issues but this was the first time I had heard he had bone cancer. Don could use our prayers.
