Dale is one of the best in La....40+ years and even won a couple thousand at a recent BASS OPEN as co-angler...you must beat him every time out...
the fact I was blessed enough to beat his Top Ten club team the past 3 years is enough for me to die a happy basser! He also hunts deer way above average too!

I am testing a new jig on LCon this week and next...have 2 events there...19th and 26th with different clubs. Probably Tuesday I am busting out of the house!!!

Reelman, you got anywhere on your boat shoppin? I know you a skeeter man, but have you looked at the phoenixs.

[reelman]

Maybe Randy Van Pitre will sell me his after a year...lol...
I did see thsm at the RR BMC and was quite impressed with the functional interior layout...especially the tray slots molded into the bottom of the center compartment.
A few Pros have them now and that is always a big help plus they give their input for changes...so its all good.
