Clammer want this

Thought I had a big bass on, as I hit this alligator in 4 foot of water, with a 4" split tail. With only a 30# Seagar leader it was amazing I even landed the thing, but I entered it in the MSBA boat division. It was 16-1/2 lbs, long and mean, one hell of a fight on light tackle and on top of a shallow rocky ledge.

You the man Bob

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
