Cousin Eddy from Christmas Vacation said that the membership to the "Jelly of the Month Club" was the gift that keeps on giving all year long. I emphatically agree with that, but I think I may have a different spin on it! Here's my thoughts: I have been very fortunate to work and compete outdoors for several years now. I have been able to see some of the greatest places this country has to offer in my travels. Many times is isn't even the body of water that I am most impressed with, it's the ride there! Either way, the outdoors and what it offers for me is the greatest way to have a liberating...

You’ve got to love the Japanese. Not only for their discipline, ingenuity, technical nature, and dependable cars, but for other things too. I mean, what other country could withstand round after round of crippling pre-Pearl Harbor economic sanctions from the U.S., getting blown up to smithereens by a couple of our A-bombs, only to bounce back within a few short years fascinated with cowboy hats, idolizing Elvis Presley, and producing some of the best bass fishing lures the industry has ever known!
Jackall is evidence of Japan’s legendary craftsmanship for which they have become known....

Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again" is a classic, but even that gets a little old when you are festering in a truck for up to 15 hours at a time. I am an XM/Sirius subscriber and enjoy the diverse spread of talk radio shows and multiple music venues. Here's the problem: I'm either getting older and softer, or a little wiser and more aware of current events. I think it's a combination of both, along with an appreciation for some corny synthesized music. My fist pumps of the past when rockin' to old school Metallica have seen the same deliverance lately when Glenn Beck slams some liberal on the radio,...

What is it about shiny new crankbaits and the newest soft plastics on the market that makes bass fishermen pull out their credit cards quicker than Paris Hilton at a designer shoe store? My wife will claim to pretty much anyone that will listen that I am a tackle addict, or at least a borderline tackle abuser. I’m not sure if that’s accurate or not, but I know that I have more crankbaits than a zebra has stripes and I haven’t yet come out of a tackle shop empty handed.
The question this obsession begs to be asked is, why? I guess it is because I (and I’m sure many of you as well) am searching...

I recently competed in a large charity team tournament here in North Carolina. My good friend from Pennsylvania comes down for an annual fishing trip each year at the same time to enjoy the last bit of unfrozen water he sees until March or April. Several years ago we got really lucky and won the event, consequently winning a really nice Ranger boat which we sold to another friend of ours. This year, we caught a limit of dill pickles....I mean sickly looking spotted bass. I just seemed to be fishing kind of odd and we never figured out what the better fish were doing this year in our limited practice...
