i'd make the trip, png.  the nice fish i caught had a bloody tail, but only two or three of the fish we caught were spawning.  most of the fish we caught were off of big points.  the wind beat the crap out of us today, but it was blowing the bait fish into those areas and the bass were eating anything and everything.  about five minutes after i caught my nice one, my buddy hooked up with a fish that looked like it weighed at least 6 1/2 or 7 lbs, so there are some big ones starting to move in shallow.  a lot of the 14-15 inch fish we caught were chunks, which was also fun because they were putting up pretty good fights. and yes, beechnut, it's in east texas.

We went today and boated 33 bass and 1 crappie using mostly junebug powerbait worms.  there were a lot of small fish, but i caught one that went 5 1/2 lbs.  we also had one that went about 4, one about 3, and several more between 2-2 1/2 lbs.  I'd say we caught at least 15 fish that were legal.  all in all, a pretty awesome day fishing.

change of plans due to a large tourney at fork on saturday.  we're going to hit bob sandlin and see what we can do.

and VP, nice fish.  bet you were really excited about that trip for the first 31 minutes.

in the last couple of days they've started moving onto the beds.  it looks like i'm going to get a chance to go back this saturday before i come home.

unfortunately we were just a week or two before the spawn.

[quote name="slick5" post="985948" timestamp="1300638019"] At least we are not known for just long balls!! [/quote] sounds like y'all need to change strategies.  or improve your defense.

if they have Joseph, Hamilton, Brown, and Thomas come back, plus a recruiting class including a PG grading out at 98, two shooting guards grading out at 95 and 94, and a power forward grading out at 95, i like their chances.

thoughts?

Reports are Tristan Thompson AND Jordan Hamilton will not enter the draft, but will return next year.  Can you say favorites for the national championship?

only put 8 total in the boat.  i caught two, one of which was a pretty nice 3-pounder.

i suck.  again.

if they can make free throws they'll be fine.  so far they've shot almost 80% from the charity stripe! 

[quote name="bullets13" post="984623" timestamp="1300412350"] the three games tonight are going to separate the bracket standings a lot.  UCLA/Michigan St., Mizzou/Cincy and Gonzaga/St. John's are all games where either pick is probably a decent one. [/quote] i'm going in the wrong direction, though, with all three of my picks trailing by double digits at the end of the half.

I'm 11/12 and 10/12 in my two brackets, but I picked Michigan St. in both.  Not going to hurt me beyond the first round, but I'd still like to see them pull off a big comeback.

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="984627" timestamp="1300412493"] What about Utah St./ K-State? [/quote] I'd say Utah St has an outside chance, but the three games i mentioned before are games that are probably fairly evenly split on picks in our brackets.  i'd assume that the vast majority of folks out there picked K-state, so if they lose, it's going to hurt just about everyone (like louisville)

the three games tonight are going to separate the bracket standings a lot.  UCLA/Michigan St., Mizzou/Cincy and Gonzaga/St. John's are all games where either pick is probably a decent one.

Jimmer is VERY, VERY good, but he gets away with more travels, carries, and draws more bad foul calls than any player i've seen all year, and i've watched A LOT of basketball.

Two brackets, in both i picked Richmond to upset.  Gotta feel good about that.  Moorehead hurt me a bit, but i only picked them to go to the sweet 16, so it shouldn't hurt too bad.

I'm going to Lake Fork next Saturday.  A buddy of mine went out in pretty windy conditions and managed to catch 9 fish last weekend, so I have high hopes. 

[quote name="basketball25" post="982538" timestamp="1300130358"] Texas lost 4 out of the last 7 games thats what hurt them and the reason why they got a 4 seed, A&M is about right though they got blown out in 3 games against Texas, and they lost to Baylor twice and BC from the acc and also lost to Nebraska, same thing for Mizz they lost 4 out last 7 games and the last 5 games they have lost 4 out of 5 but mizz should have been around a 9 and for as colorado they did get snubbed, but what killed them was there out of conference SOS was like 245 in the nation!!!! The committee always talks about the WHOLE BODY OF WORK and I guess the non-conf schedule killed them but no doubt I believe Colorado beats VCU and UAB!!! I mean what about Harvard they got screwed too [/quote] i see where you're coming from with Texas, but they had as many good wins as anyone in the country, and they made their conference championship game, losing to the #2 team in the country.  I hate how the committee uses current form in some cases to justify seeding, and then ignores it in other situations.

The Big XII as a whole got shafted.  Texas as a #4, aTm as a #7, Mizzou as a #11, and Colorado getting snubbed?  What a joke. 

I'm signed up... a lot of difficult picks to make this year.
