1. The nanner puddin' (AKA banana pudding) quip was a reference to your misspelling of desert (dessert); unless of course you really are in the habit of throwing peoples' keys into their desserts, in which case I stand by my initial assertion.
2. You are correct. Our mods aren't that mean. The a'yuh was a tongue in cheek allusion to Bondo, our newest one. I've never met him, but I suspect he's as cuddly as I am.
3. You are justifiably proud of your Starcraft and '79 Johnnyrude. However, I rather doubt you'd be "blowin by" me in it if we were in any of the numerous shallow rivers in which I use the little 2.5. The more likely scenario would be my rescuing you with my white water raft or square stern canoe (either of which can pe powered by my "cute little 2.5 Merc") after you destroyed your lower unit trying to return to shore before the current carried you upside down over a waterfall.
4. If I want to go fast I'll launch my party barge with its neither cute nor little 90 horse Merc. Well, actually it won't go that fast, but hey, it's a party barge!
5. Will the largemouths "swinging from the stern" be comparable in any way to the one in my profile pic? (In case you're curious, I caught it on a six inch watermelon centipede Texas rigged on a 2/0 EWG Gamakatsu hook, and it was one of the numerous six plus pounders I've boated over the years. However, rather than allow them to swing from the stern, I usually just release them unharmed back into the water.).
6. Is your Starcraft named the Black Pearl?
7. Are you a fan of ee cummings?[/QUOT
Still dont get the nanner,but i did spell desert wrong didnt i, Anyway you seem to know much about boats and rivers and bass.No my starcraft isnt called the pearl, but kinda sounds good, maybe ill paint it black.What about the Reel Pearl.ha ha kinda like it,I also catch n release all my fishies except for the stickers on my boat.My biggest fish i ever caught on lake mead was a 19lb striper was using a top water plug.I love large mouths and when i see boats coming in and cleaning them at the fish station i go nuts.I have also owned many small johnboats and little v hulll 10 -14 ftrs.Those were the good old days being young carrying that little guy to the water with a 1958 15 hp johnson i found in storage still new in box paid 300.00 for it then.Lake Mead is my stompin ground, boaters usto follow me to the fish when they saw my boat.now i dont go as much as before i usto go everyweekend for a day and a half for 10yrs.nice reading your posts.
