Gander mtn

I have gotten Gander MT. catalogs for years just to compare prices and yes they are way high. But I'll tell you many years ago when I got an IGFA record everybody sent me free everything and catalogs. Orvis is by far the most over priced catalog I have ever seen. I'm sure there products or very good but dang if I'm paying 1200$ for a fly rod...and no reel. Just my 2cents

Dang Chuck don't leave us hangin'! What was the record?

Don, it was 80# Flathead on 12# test. I have the artical out of the paper and one day I'll learn how to post it. The record didn't last long though. Some body landed one in TX. out of a boat that was 91# . Mine was on the shore....and out of the river, he caught one of them sissy lake fish.LOL...Chuck

Spent lots of money at GM here in Bowling Green. Their pricing is on the high side, but I love having the place 3 miles from my house. When they do decide to put something on sale, the pricing is good, not just a false markdown. Never had a problem with the service, and they let our fishing club use their meeting room every month gratis. I hope they stay in business.

Riverrat, you sure catch some dang hawg legs brother. Don't think you could land an 80 lb flathead on a flyrod, even a $1200 one. Pretty cool being in the record books...

Tyme, I think I know the girl you're talking about. She hit on me bad, threw herself at me right at the checkout. Practically a scene out of one of the old Hai Karate commercials. (It was a little embarrassing but you get used to that sort of thing after a while.) She must have something against you 'older' guys.

Pontooner, you'll have to buy me a chilled libation sometime here in the Green. Heck, we may even know each other, though I doubt we hung out together at an Obama for President rally. I agree on the Catfish House, went there when it first opened. Bad move. They need to take some lessons from the 'Top of the River' restaurant down in Gadsden, Alabama. Now them folks know how to run a catfish house.

I kinda doubt I know you since I don't know many old people but seriously I don't live in BG just claim it since most people know where it is. I actually live in southern Edmonson County about 17 miles from BG but I have a BG address. I make it to BG about once or twice a week and if Obama ever does anything you like/approve of maybe we could celebrate.


Oh yeah, I made the mistake of giving the Catfish House a second chance. Bad idea.

Don, the Curious Journal did a nice piece on that fish. Chuck had an audience that day watch him catch that fish I wish I could have been there. Try to imagine landing 80lb blue in that curent with 12lb test, spinning reel and a Sauger jig. He had to wade out and get it after about a 45 minute battle, but he won. Luck involved sure, but also one of the finest epic battle of whipping a fish that a personally know of. Wasn't trying to steal your thunder Chuck but you down play it sometimes being humble. Don it's the beast in his avatar. Way more impressive that that 90 plus on 10lb Stren in my opinion. It's still number two all time with that line class though.

Jim I am confused you said the girl at GM "hit" on you, phsyically or you know "sexually". If she hit on you physically then could she not be charged with "elder abuse" but if she hit on you the other way then she should be charged with public intoxication or was she just blind.

Good points. It is possible I imagined that little episode...

Could have, aw fantasy.
