If I could wish the items on my Christmas list to appear, I would do it this year. I am having such a great time writing blogs and posting videos here on WFN that I don't just want a GoPro Hero 2 Camera, I need it. Yes, I know the difference between need and want. This is the ultimate outdoor video and still camera for the active. It's waterproof. It's shock
I like shortcuts to make things easier. I like having a backup plan if things don't go the way they should. I'm a kayak fisherman and I have to make things simple and accessible. I created the following video to show you how I tie a clinch knot quicker than most (I did it slower than usual in the video so you could follow it easily). The improved clinch knot will work
I live in Lousville, Kentucky and my favorite Bass Pro Shops is right across the Ohio River in Clarksville, Indiana.

It's a private family lake stuffed with Lunkers. Only once have I been disappointed at this peaceful spot. Well, I always feel great about going there. It's just that once I didn't catch a fish. I wish all fishermen had a spot to unwind their bad fishing days like I do. I am truley blessed with the opportunity to fish here. I hope you have a favorite spot. If you don't, I hope you find it.
I break off drywall screws and insert. It's cheap and easy.

I grew up catching some incredible fish in farm ponds.
Most boat ramps have signs posted. You would be suprised what you can learn by stopping to read them.
This is what it's all about. I was so excited that I forgot to do the usual standing with the fish photo. I got this from the video.
I would have only taken about 30 minutes to install this project. But, it slows you down to make video and take photos all along the way. I wouldn't have it any other way though.
Did you ever have to make the decision to leave the hook in rather than kill the fish taking it out. Fish have acid in their bodies that will desolve a hook in days. So, the best thing to do is to leave it. Read http://saltfishing.about.com/od/catchandrelease/a/aa040630a.htm to learn more.
It's amazing what they will try to sell to the Bass Angler nowadays. Enough said...

Booyah Spinner bait with Tail End of a 12" Berkley Worm For a Trailer and it catches Big Ones. The Trailer hook is buried in the worm so the spinners hook has to go through the worm and the eye of the hook. I stays on well that way. Has great action too.
