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....

While having my eyes half closed one morning in a hotel while traveling home from a subpar tournament, this revelation came to me and I thought I should share it. Some of the stuff may sound a tad negative but let's all think positive and work together to stop the madness. Let's get this party started:
10. Yellow Cheese on everything - The Culinary Arts School of fast food at some time developed a mandate to put yellow shredded cheese on every possible dish served. Okay, I'll give in, a little is fine.....but a giant pile on everything just gets in the way and requires removal. First...

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.

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...
