Well I'm not a pro bass fisherman but I did for about 30 years fish bass tournaments and rain gear was essential. Until Frogg Toggs came out good rain gear was hard to find. When Frogg Toggs came out I bought the bibb pants and the pull over jacket. A few other anglers where at the store the same time. One of them asked me why I didn't get the zip up jacket and I said because rain will blow up under the bottom but the pull over has an elastic bottom that wraps around the bibbs and makes a seal. I still have that first pair of Frogg Toggs and still wear them occassionally but did get a good set of Gortex with the Bibbs and Pull over jacket and running across the lake in the early morning at the start of a tournament with my Gortex, and Motorcycle Helmet and rain-ex coated face shield at 70 mph is not my favorite thing to do but I did it many times cause I loved to fish. Those days are long gone as far as tournaments are concerned but I still enjoy fishing and my Frogg Toggs are still in the boat in case a rain sneeks in on me while out on the lake.

I bet when all the smoke clears your going to find out he is a Vet but no guarantees on that. Just sounds like he was cool under fire and reacted accordingly. .......jmho

Well got to meet another TGO member today. Went and picked up the washer and dryer and got to meet btq96r and he is a very nice guy for sure. Didn't get to spend a lot of time visiting but he was more than glad to help us load the appliances. I enjoyed meeting another member and being able to put a face with a name. I want to thank you again B for the appliances and your help. It is greatly appreciated.....

I heard them say on CBS Local news last evening that if she says she did go with him willingly they might or will drop the aggrevated Kidnapping Charges. If they drop them the world is worse off than I am thinking it is..............jmho

Well I guess only time will tell but won't believe it until I hear it from a reliable source. I have my reason for knowing how those rewards work..........jmho

I had a brother like that also and he did something similar. Have not spoke to him in 25 years and don't even know if he is still alive...........

How many folks here think that guy that turned them in will get that big fat reward they said was out there? I bet he does not see a dime of it. If he says anything they will just tell him it was his civil duty to call police.............jmho

True, I think all of the so called super powers have all been guilty of Sabre Rattling with less than sharp Sabre's.....................

I was watching a news broadcast yesterday and they were showing clips of back in the late 50's in Moscow as the Russia dragged Mock Missiles in a parade to show off their power to the world and the Missiles had to actually be tied down to the Trailers so they would not blow off when the winds kicked because they were made of heavy cardboard. Most all those countries that try and bluff America will build up mock military armament to try and show power that they don't have. many of them still have not changed even today............jmho

Well I have often wondered how they can come up with a body count inan explosion such as that cause they said it closed at least 3 caves so how do they know just how many were in the caves if they closed them in the explosion? I think the News Media's throw a number at the wall and see if it sticks like a string of Pasta.

I was in error when I posted that 18 bad guys were killed. It was actually 36. I first heard 18 but since then that number has doubled...........

Happy Easter to all the folks and their families here on TGO. I hope everyone is Blessed with family and friends on this very Special Day.

Does anyone here know of a Flea Market booth operator that operates big time and does not just dabble in stuff. Reason I am asking is I might end up taking BT's Jig making business apart and selling it off in pieces if I don't find someone interested in getting into making jigs. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks bersaguy

I heard on the news that the bomb killed 18 Bad guys and closed up 3 of the caves they have been using. Way I figure it I wish it would have killed 500 BG's and still would not make up for the 1 Green Beret that was killed in the battle for the caves.........jmho

I don't want to post a classified ad if there is no interests in this. Most here know I lost a very good friend last month and I have his boat on here for sale. He also owned a jig building business making fishing jigs. It is also going up for sale but don't want to take up a bunch of space posting pictures if there is no interests in it. It is a full service jig making business and has a very large inventory of all material in which to build Jigs. This is a turn key operation once it is moved and set up. If anyone is interested please PM me. Other wise I will not be placing pictures on the site. Thanks Bersaguy

With that type of bomb the destruction is the O2 that it sucks out of the caves and kills anyone in the caves with out really doing a large amount of material damage exept maybe close the cave entrances. It would not have done much damage to the air base and by using the Cruise Missiles they could take out specific targets and not harm other such as the Russian Helicopters that were parked at the far side of the airbase that were not damaged. Don't want to upset the Bear....................

The Daisy Cutters were very similar but the Daisy Cutter was designed to detonate just before striking the ground and the blast would destroy every thing in it's path for about 1 mile in every direction. They used them to clear out places in the jungles for Huey's to have an LZ where there was not one 3 hours earlier. Yea they did kill everything that was soft such as enemy soldiers which was plus. From what I gather with this MOAB it sucks all the oxygen out of the tunnels and caves actually suffocating any enemy soldiers in them. I figure once the Leftist realizes what the bomb does they will be up in arms and screaming it's Inhumane and should not be used even though they are killing savages that cuts peoples heads off............jmho

All I can say to that is wear a lifejacket when you pull the trigger................

I have sat and talked with Game Wardens while on the lake when they approached my boat to check registration and all safety equipment and fishing license. I had one of my Bersa's on my hip and they never said a word about it or me being armed while on the water. They ask if the fish were biting and other casual stuff while checking my papers and then told me to have a nice day and moved on.

Thanks OS. I think I did hear it on the news one night that a law had been passed allowing firearms carried while in a boat but would like to confirm it even though I never put my boat in any lake without a heater on my hip. Boat ramps can be a dangerous place, especially at night. About 3 years ago there was a fisherman killed at the Mona boat ramp in Smyrna while in broad daylight as he was going up to get his truck and trailer and load his boat and his daughter was down in the boat when they killed him. They said several vehicles had been broken into and the police think he may have stumbled up on the thieves while they were stealing stuff. Bad guys have never been caught to this day. I do a lot of night fishing on area lakes and never alone and I do make sure I light up the entire parking area with my boat headlamps before I drop my partner at the dock to get the tow vehicle. That person is also armed and I sit right by the dock till he has the trailer backed in for loading.

Did I read or hear something pertaining to being able to now carry firearms in boats in Tennessee on lakes and rivers or did I just dream it. I have always done it but I think I heard or or read where it was not legal to do so. Can anyone verify that for me? Thanks Bersaguy

I'm sure United could have handled this entire matter differently but they screwed up big time. There are many alternatives to getting their flight crew 295 miles to a new location without disturbing paying customers like they did. Several alternatives have already been mentioned. United could have checked other airlines for flights going to same location and put them on another company's plane that was not over booked. I'm sure any other airline would have been more than glad to help out..........jmho

+1 on Sam Hoster in Gallatin. He does all my work and the work of many of my friends. http://www.customdefensellc.com/gunsmithing.htm

That is what I recommended to him and his biggest issue was FMJ verses Hollowpoint for carry ammo. I recommended if he wants something to knock someone off their feet go with Federal Hydra-Shok's. Less chance of threw and threw and injuring an innocent person behind the bad guy at close range.

I had a buddy of mines wife buy him a Glock23 40 cal for his birthday and he is wanting to know what would be the best ammo for it. He had one person tell him 165 gr but I wanted to get the best info for him so I came here to the best place to find out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Bersaguy
