    Good looking fish Mike. The Maddy in the park is great in the fall man! Im jealous that you are a short drive away from great fishing like that. Thanks for sharing

    Jared, that could go either way, same as bama vs Fla.

    You should have good weather, i just got back to GA from Tulsa and my co-workers are telling me that the last week or so have actually been bearable to be outdoors for more than 20 minutes.

    Mutant stripers with teeth!

    How was the hookup percentage? I have heard that they have a hard mouth and can be difficult to get positive hook-sets.

    Tim, When I was in school, you could get a full scholarship if you decided to major in Textile Engineering. The textile industry was desperate and funding it.

    Are most of your guys at 3M Chemical Engineers?

    Corey, it looks like you had an awesome trip! I like your story about your “secret spot”. Did you get deja vue? Its funny how there really are not any secret spots when you think about it.

    As a lifelong bama fan, I must tip my hat to the razorbacks. I really thought that it was over until the interception.

    Arkansas whooped our ass for the first 45 minutes of that game.

    in reply to: Saturday Carpin’ #44944

    Good looking fish Andrew. I need to trade you a seat in the boat this DH season for a Saturday carp trip. I’ll even bring Peter along, he can row

    in reply to: The worst thing about trying out a 1D MII #71330

    Mike, your birds are looking awesome lately. what are you shooting?

    I guess the upside to the 1D II vs 1DIV is that it leaves lots of room in the budget for good glass.

    Have you tried any UWAs with it? I wonder how the 1.3 sensor does with the 10-22

    in reply to: fishing dogs? #45126

    My dog Bear is hands down my favorite fishing partner. He in recent years has matured enough to be boat worthy and I really enjoy his enthusiasm. He celebrated his 8th birthday this summer.

    in reply to: SAGE “DXL TYPHOON” WATERPROOF BOAT BAG #44890

    I have the boat bag in question and did a video review of it a few weeks ago on my site.  You can see the video here.

    I won’t have any qualms about putting some of my camera gear in it when fishing out of a buddy’s boat.

    Great review Matt

    Jake, That statement could be really misconstrued! haha

    Neil, my dog had a similar incident with a down feather pillow!

    in reply to: SAGE “DXL TYPHOON” WATERPROOF BOAT BAG #44887

    ditto what mike said $225 would buy a great divider from Patagonia. It doesn’t have the bells and whistles but it is uber waterproof and durable

    Guys,

    How long is the film?

    Its funny that you ask, that was my first question as well.

    in reply to: Blurb.com #71321

    My wife and I made wedding albums through Blurb for family members and we were very satisfied with the outcome and the value. They are great ways to memorialize events at a reasonable price.

    in reply to: Montana Fall Trip Report #44920

    Neil, like always, great looking trip and pics.

    Is that bear trap canyon?

    in reply to: Winston Teams with Cabelas – Seriously?!?! #45369

    Matt, As much as i hate to say it, Winston needs to do something if they want to continue to maintain a strong presence in the rod industry. I don’t know if the entire industry is shadowed by Sage’s enormous presence, or if they may be in the financial point that they are forced to make the move. My assumption is the latter.

    I’m sure that you still sell plenty of Sage, Rio & Simms gear despite the fact that they are offered at cabelas and bass pro.

    I think that there are big box shoppers and there are small shop shoppers, and most big box shoppers buy whatever brand is in the big box probably more on impulse.

    I personally have a cabelas visa but make 95% of my tackle purchases from local shops. I have told my local shop numerous times that if they offered a visa, i would be the first to sign up. I am as much a consumer as the next guy but i would not cast a rod at a local shop and then go bargain shop it elsewhere. Its just not ethical to me.

    in reply to: Belize Trip Report #44791

    nice looking fish Andrew. I agree with you, Belize is incredible

    in reply to: Alaska Trip Report #44657

    Matt, there are a couple of you guys on this site that really make this a spectacular place. These are some kickass pictures as we have come to expect from you!

    in reply to: Finally got a decent Osprey in flight shot. #71398

    the blue sky background really makes it a killer shot!

    in reply to: Finally…Anyone else shooting dove today? #44583

    really haven’t seen or heard of any white wings, this year seemed to be 2/3 mourning dove & 1/3 ringnecks.

    As far as quail, I do not do much quail hunting, but from what I understand, the natural populations of birds just aren’t there anymore. I am sure that you can come across them from time to time, but I don’t know of many commercial lodges that could sustain a large enough population of
