2. I've seen it enough now that I at least have an idea of what I'm doing.
– Cliff "I ain't no baby no mo" Crochet talkin' 'bout fishin' the Elites. That's a relief…cuz the dude is gettin' married! How much do he and the future Mrs. Baby love each other and bassin'?
Best comment to that photo was: "Is there a button on here that says I love it."
Hahaha!
Holy cow! Tough to believe…like this Jimmy quote from this recent vid:
> "My wife's got camo underwear. I want her to wear underwear that's like fluorescent chartreuse so I can find her in the dark."
4. I can fish about half of a day or three quarters as long as it's not real windy or rough.
– Cliff Pace talkin' 'bout his recovery from a treestand fall. Also said:
> "That's what keeping me from trying to go fish the last couple Elite Series events of the year."
> "My doctors told me it was going to take a year and I kind of laughed at them, but now that it's been seven months, I'm starting to believe them."
Well-known lady basser and lady bassin' pioneer. Dang. RIP bassin' sister.

News
1. NJ: Anaconda in Lake Hopatcong!
> …said he saw the snake and estimated it to be 15 to 16 feet long.
> "The head of the snake is about the size of the body of a duck."
2. IL: Bass boat DUI collision.
Thankfully sounds like no one seriously hurt.
3. PA wants EPA help on Susquehanna.
Really starting to seem like someone at the state doesn't want something found out.
4. Midwest: Insecticides crushing water critters.
5. MA: Autism benefit derby.
6. New Rapala baits available!
Lots of times when new baits are announced at the ICAST trade show you have to wait til fall or next spring to get 'em, but Rapala's new baits and new Ike's Ink colors and Storm's are available now. Git 'em here or at retailers.

Tip of the Day
Jason Christie: Why Carolina rig?
> I use a Carolina rig when I want to cover broad areas rather than focus on a smaller spot like a brushpile. Carolina rigs are good in grass because the big worm floats above the weight where fish can see it.
> I’ve had good success with a Carolina rig on Kentucky Lake – I think that may be because of the numbers of Texas rigs those bass see during the summer.
> You know that if an angler’s not throwing a deep running crank, big spoon or a jig, he’s throwing a Texas rigged worm. Try a Carolina rig and you’re showing the fish something they haven’t seen.
> I start with a 3/4-ounce tungsten barrel weight on my 20-pound Sunline Sniper main line and go with 24-30 inches of 15-pound monofilament leader tied to a 5/0 Trokar hook. Mono is the best choice for leaders because it floats and that’s what you want for a Carolina rig bait.
Quote of the Day
I don't think pigs could fly, but actually sharks could be stuck in tornados. There could be a sharknado.
– Ding ding ding we have a winnah! Actress (and apparent genius) Tara Reid, who was in the Sharknado movie.
