I've just started experimenting with large (7-10inches) swimbaits to target big bass. Anyone use big swimbaits and have some tips?

I was a bit unsure about throwing a 10 inch swimbait until my first hit on one. It blew my reel clean off my rod when I set the hook.

I humbly request a name change to Xeones. I signed up as armytiger16 back in 2010 when I discovered TD while out of the country. I've noticed other armytiger# lately and am no longer in the army. As a token of my appreciation I will not eat your chicken brethren for one month and campaign for free range rights of all chickens. Thanks for your consideration.

Recently I've developed some sort of skin allergy on my fingers. Its more severe than dry/cracking skin from winter weather and an allergic reaction to my iPhone 6 or the case seems like the most likely factor. Anyone ever had their phone or phone case cause skin irritation? The case is made by unicorn beetle.

I want to believe this is fake but I'm pretty sure this is real. Is this the most dangerous/complicated way to hunt rabbits ever?

I picked up a portable stadium chair from Costco last saturday for $20 to see if I could install it on my Emotion Stealth Angler sit on top 10ft. Buying a better kayak isn't an option right now so I wanted a cheap solution to a more comfortable seat that could give me better support and be higher off the water. The original seat was decent but was just sitting on the hull with a back that didn't give great support. I'm 6'2 190lb but have some back issues from the army so long trips could put a hurting on me.

Supplies needed were around $10 and included rubber furniture caps, titanium metal drill bits, screws, 4" bolt, and 1" dowel rod. Total install time was about 2 hours which was mainly drilling through the 1/2" steel of the chair frame. I was able to secure the rear with a 4" bolt into the bolt hole for the original seat and the front is held down by straps that can be easily removed. I haven't got a chance to take it on the water so I will update after the weekend if anyone is interested. I sat in it in the backyard and it was much more comfortable with better support for my back. I was also about 9" higher which is a big difference in a kayak. pics are below.

Saw this beast approaching the Mobile tunnel. Is this a trashy way to transport skeletons? [/URL][/img]

Does anyone frequent LA sportsman forums? Periodically I check out the LA sportsman forum for info but always get frustrated at the lack of posts and general broken English feel of a lot of the posts. Am I missing something?

My main question is the regulations. I called the MS wildlife and fisheries and no one seemed to have a clue what a kayak was but they all basically said you don't need registration or boater safety course. I'm concerned about getting over there and being hassled by enforcement. Does anyone have any experience taking a kayak to Ohkissa? As always fishing tips are welcome.

I caught a couple rainbow trout vacationing in that BREC cesspool by the skate park and am wondering what to do with these shiny little fellows. Anyone have recommendations for cooking cleaning? I normally filet and pan fry my fish but don't know if there's a special touch that should be used with the rainbow trout.

I know this is dumb but where are the TD emoticons when I post from my phone. Is there an emoticon package I need to download?
