I was gonna get in on this one for the first time, but they scheduled the same weekend we do our Sabine River Sand bass trip. Our cabin is booked up with no hope of pushing those dates, so it looks like it won't happen this year either.

excellent choice on the Honda ! The most reliable and fuel efficient motor I ever ran !!!

Welcome to the Honda family I really enjoy my Hondas.

And I know this isn�t the thread, but it�s done been derailed anyways!!! How did you make your decision so quick Nick??? I can�t figure out which engine to get right now... Honda, Yamaha 4 stroke, Yamaha Vmax Sho 4 stroke or the new Evinrude G2 HO 2 stroke... That dern G2 is calling my name and seems bad to the bone!!! It has 239 less moving parts than the 4 stroke, multiple color choice, 10 year warranty, and no scheduled maintenance for 500 hours... They say it even gets better fuel economy and the oil tank is in the engine compartment instead of in your boat... Plus, Imma bout worn out with dealing with these Yamaha dealers...

We buddys Serj!!!!

I have been doing research for a long time. Actually before I bought my current boat. I had a 4 stroke on my previous boat and didn't want to go to a 2 stroke, but I got a great deal on my boat and just took the motor that was on it until this day eventually came. Then I found a Honda outboard dealer and service department 3 miles from my house that beat everyone else's prices by a long shot. They have been selling and servicing them for 8 years and have yet to have to do anything other than the regular scheduled maintenance. Plus I wanted to have the same motor that my wife has in her Honda Odyssey so we could have that in common. Start researching Honda outboards and try to find a single negative comment other than the ditch pickle fisherman saying that they can't run 80 mph with a Honda. Rick, you and I are never going anywhere close to 80 in our floating tanks.

Ok Nick I�ll give em a better lookin at... I got my new fuel tank installed this weekend and I�m gettin closer every day but you talk about a lotta work. I still gotta patch up the console, re-install all my trolling motor batteries and charger and all of my engine / operating batteries and chargers... then re run new fishfinder cables and remount my 360. Then I might be ready...





Oh, and if these Yamaha dealers keep thinking they are so good they can make a 10 to 20 thousand dollar profit off a plug and play 8 to 10 hour install, they can kiss my [censored]... LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whewwwwwwwwwww Sonny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

let's put some things straight here #1 that 50 was re-netted after failing to go down after burping then worked with for 45 minutes to an hour before she died . The new youth record was released and swam away after weighing then the paperwork was done .I know these folks and they do not kill big fish !!! 2nd ,even if they wanted to take the fish home unless the laws have changed you are still allowed 2 over 30 inches. Not any of my business or anybody else's what a guy does with his catch as long is he is legal. Sorry to butt in here but maybe the witch hunt can be called off now.I figure this is why a lot of old members do not come around any more and my post will sure be a lot fewer so I don't offend anyone .

Yep I have an apology to make to this gentleman!! First off I would like to congratulate the upcoming new youth record holder!!! The Fish that died was unable to be revived even after working and burping with him.
The record Fish was released to fight another day.
My original intent was just stirring the pot between Texas and Oklahoma but I guess this cpr debate is more personal than I thought. I believe in cpr but if you choose its your choice to keep what�s legal!!!

It�s just Twok pardners!!!!!!!!!!!! And it�s war at all times when your on that place!!!!!!! Good Luck out there!!! Prime...

Prime i must re-buttle and see your 3 and raise ya one!!

and
and maybe

Now for the kicker

LMAO!!! fish on !!

It cost me 320 to register..my first tournament...hi guys first post in awhile

Ok here we go......straight from the king-cat tournament website 2018
It says the following:

Affordable.
$200.00 allows a team of two to compete on a National level in our Local qualifier events. This draws more family competitors and also brings in competitors that otherwise would not compete in tournament fishing. We further encourage family involvement by allowing a third person on the team who is under 16 or over 65 at no charge.


Here is the entry costs...
Super Event Late Fee $25.00
CKK Classic $500.00
Local Event $300.00
Local Event Late Fee $25.00
CKK Classic Late Fee $25.00
Super Event $350.00
Big Fish Pot $20.00


Uh i dont see anything for 200.00 dollars? They should be held to the family atmosphere " affordable" entry fee...




or am i crazy???

don't forget the membership fee for each contestant .

It's not the entry fee that gets me! I would rather see a 2-300 entry fee as opposed to $100. But when i'm entering a tournament with a 2-300 entry fee I expect first place to be more than $3000!
