Rebbasser · 10-18-06, 10:14 PM

Nope, and I'm going to wait a while. Don't want to fight the crowds. At least that in my intention

.

texasbasser · 10-18-06, 10:21 PM

Im still amazed that i met him!!

ToPwAt'R GuY · 10-19-06, 05:17 PM

Its always nice to meet the pros.

texasbasser · 10-19-06, 10:09 PM

me and fishinforutne went again today, but missed the pro's. we still had a blast looking at the sweet boats and buying some stuff

thebus71h · 10-19-06, 11:46 PM

I could spend days at Bass Pro. My fiance has to go with me so I don't max out a few credit cards. LOL!

JB · 10-20-06, 07:05 AM

reb,
good idear on the crowded BPS....denny and me went this spring and it was packed..I did happen to notice many(including jimmy houstons pic) autographed pictures on the wall...ol jimmy must own shares in that place huh?

keithdog · 10-20-06, 09:52 AM

We get our new Bass Pro in about 4 months, and I cannot wait!!! But I think I'll give it a couple weeks for the crowds to thin a tad before heading in there. Now where did I put that winning lottery ticket??? hmmmmmmmm

flbassman · 10-20-06, 10:06 AM

Supposedly we're getting one half-way between where I'm at and where Liz is at in the next few years....

Jolly · 10-20-06, 10:39 PM

I was in SA 2 months ago and it didn't even look close. I can't believe it is already open. Is it as big as the dallas one or is it smaller? I love that place! I usually have to just bring cash or my checking account is gone!!

texasbasser · 10-21-06, 02:58 PM

it did seem that they built it up really quick.

Rebbasser · 10-21-06, 06:41 PM

Jolly, I haven't been in but it looks to be the same size as the one in Grapevine.

rrw4258 · 10-22-06, 07:08 PM

hey jb, did you hear we are getting another BPS in ohio!!! It is being built in Rossford (South of Toledo/Bowling Green) Only 35 min. from my house!!! Supposedly it is supposed to be one of the biggest ones built!! It is set to open beginning of 2008!

kenkinser · 10-22-06, 08:13 PM

bassintxlady · 10-22-06, 09:03 PM

Where exactly are you talking about, and is there just wisps of guessing or is there something on the table for it

I would really hate to have that happen.

FlyRod · 10-25-06, 03:25 PM

I went to the new BPS last Friday to get some outboard oil that was on sale, for a friend who is recovering from surgery and couldn't make the trip. No problems.
Went back today 'cause I wanted a very few items and, as is my luck, they had about half what I wanted. I can't understand why the only shaky head jigs they choose to carry are semi-pure crap. I'll have to modify them to suit the mission.
Of course, even though it's a school day, two little girls of caramel hue were tearing up the lipless crank display. They tried to crawl UNDER the bottom row of pegs, knocking lures off onto the floor. Dear old Dad, Eusebio "El Pendejo" (see: Idiot) Guzman III, just went about his search for lures in his favorite colors, Pinata Purple, Feefty-Seex Chebby Red, and Refried Bean/Green Flake and left the mess as was. Hey, who knew that Carp would hit lures?
I picked up the &^$%! lures and knelt, squinting at the tiny labels on the lures and pegs, until I'd replaced them.
If you think that was kewl, you oughta see 'em clambering, unsupervised, all over the boats.
Man! You'd think they'd be content with trashing WalMart.
I swear, if I ever again have more than two pesos to rub together, I'm leaving this Third World once proudly called Texas! Maybe I can find some remote hamlet in Upper Southern Eastern Lower Northern Western Idaho where only English (with a little German for flavor,) is spoken.
I'm gonna buy a little patch, run for county sheriff, win, then hire former East German Border Guards to man the boundaries.
Ahhhhh...just imagine...."Press Ein for German", "Press Dos (so we can trace the call and get a fix on your position) para espanol."
Alpha Battery! Fire Mission!

Give us, this day, our daily rant.
