1. Palaniuk gets Seaguar and Zoom.
Can’t believe Pure Fishing would let Brandon go. If I were a fishing co, I’d be recruiting him like D1 coaches recruit 5-star high-schoolers. Guess Zoom sent him a few baits:
2. Paul “Kneel n Reel/A-Rig” Elias running a Bassin’ Cat.
Here he is in his new rig. Not sure what’s on the back but I think it says “Panda:”
3. IN: KVD, Lowen, McLelland, Feider at Bass U.
Wild Outdoor Expo at the Kokomo Event & Conference Center, Jan 11-12. Bass Us always rock and KVD is a great speaker, but don’t expect him to tell you his secrets because:
4. NY: Menendez will be at Niagara show.
Greater Niagara Fishing and Outdoor Expo, Jan 20-22 at the Conference and Event Center Niagara Falls, NY.
5. Stetson Blaylock and Alton Jones Jr get BOOYAH.
Best comment on that FB post was Dewayne Blaylock’s “Alright cuz:”
6. Bill Lowen says side-scanning works in skinny water.
7. J-Wheels used to be a…nanny.
Gotta be another name for a guy who watches someone’s kids?? Either way, that’s a cool nickname Wheeler!
8. Elite rookie Skylar Hamilton talks Xpress.
Why he’s fishing out of one.
9. FLWer Brandon McMillan gets Yo-Zuri.
10. Zona talks HydroWave.
Says he’s seen stuff happen with it he can’t explain. If you’re not convinced yet, watch it fo sho:
Git one on TW.
11. T-H Marine expands staff.
Greg Buie was promoted from national sales manager to VP of sales and marketing, and new sales managers are Thomas “TJ” James and Zack McLanahan.
T-H still killin’ it!
12. GA/SC: Thurmond/Clarks Hill getting better?
A couple recent 27+ limits:
> …one reason for the larger fish is that more fishermen are sinking brushpiles to replace the fish cover lost by fluctuating pools over the years.
Plus hydrilla, herring and other baitfish….
13. MN: Classic Bass using MLF format.
14. DC: Trump will be given anti-ethanol petition.
Sign it here. #ethanolsux
15. Learn about Gene Gilliland.
B.A.S.S.’s head conservation fish-head. Great thing about Gene is he’s a bass fisherman, which too often it seems like biologists are not. Plus he’s got “gill” in his name so….
16. SPRO giving away Fat Papas.
In honor of Russ Lane now being an MLFer.
17. Kistler’s having a warehouse clearance.
18. Shimano lookin’ fer Retail Services Coordinator.
19. Cool bass eating jerkbaits vid…
…from the boys at Tack-Tickle Bassin’:
Matt, you remind me of Bobo from the TV show “Finding Bigfoot,” which should be named “Finding Not a Dang Thing.” You guys have the same laid-back, super-into-it Cali thing going on. No funnin’ here man, all good!
20. Boating has class.
Middle class that is:
> Boating is predominantly “middle-class,” with 72% of boat owners having a household income of less than $100,000.
But…to afford a bass boat you need:
Seems boatingworld.com got the Champion, Charger, Challenger thing wrong [they’ve corrected it], and since I excerpted what they wrote, I did too. Stupid of me assuming a boating media source would get the facts right..??
Anyhow, Kelly Power emailed me this: “We are building true Champion boat hulls and decks, not Challenger copies.”
Sorry man. There you have it bass peeps!
