nice Stu, Congrats on the fish and the pending "mini stu" too!

Hope Kristy has more luck next time, but don't get her too excited, even the new boat doesn't come equiped with a birthing suite:silly:

Thanks for the report.

Nice fish to break in the new gear Stu.

Congrats on one in the oven. Is that how you get the missus out of bed that early ?

Nice, I nearly bought one recently but then I decided I am terrible at bass fishing so not really worth it till I improve my skills. Does it cast as nicely as they say?

[STU]

Nah needed a photographer I get nothing now she got what she wanted i feel used haha

Casts very well I am stoked with the distance and how light it is drag is sweet and 5.8-1 gear makes it great for working lures slow but the td zillion hyper crank is slower depends how fast you wind the handle if you tend to wind fast get a slower gear ratio that will help in the daiwas the steez is the lightest but a bit to pricey for me when casting all day in comps helps to have light outfit not so bad on the arms at the end of the day

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Been there done that.

But give it a few weeks and she'll be getting bigger, her hormones will kick in and she will think that she's getting fat and then unloved. She will attack you from dawn to dusk and many times after. Just to make shore you still love her:kiss:

There will be no more fishing because you'll be to buggerd to do anything other than work and satisfy your wife;)

Trying times ahead my friend, Good luck with the bub and your soon to be hormonal wife:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Oh and NICE BASS STU:woohoo:
