What I really want for Christmas is a lifetime shopping membership (no holds barred) to Bass Pro Shops or Cabelas. Santa will have to read this thread.[;)] ---

Youā€™re not asking for much Steve. LOL I think weā€™d all like something like that. Especially Basspro, since they sell boats and stuff too. Mmmmmmmm, what would I get. The biggest Mako center console they had on the floor, probably the 26 footer. Iā€™d load it down with all the high end electronics and sport all Penn International equipment. Then iā€™d get a bass boat and equip it the same way, just with freshwater gear. honestly, all I really want for Christmas is a winning lottery ticket. šŸ•¶ The big lottery though. Atleast 15 million dollars. LOL ---

My health, and to retain my ability to kick around in my tube forever. Be careful what you wish for. That 26 foot Mako with all the trimmingsā€¦$600 dollars a tripā€¦your friends start avoiding you, 'cause they owe you gas money and then you fish yourself broke. I knowā€¦I sure miss my Hatteras. I 'll stick to my tube and fish on the cheap. _ **added pic for you. TN2** _ ---

LOL, I know what you mean. Iā€™ve got a 21 footer right now, consequently, that iā€™m trying to sell. It actually gets pretty decent mileage though. I donā€™t have to make 50 mile runs here. As far as iā€™d like to see is around 30. Still looking at around 130 bucks a trip in gas alone, but I can live with that. šŸ˜› ---

For it to finally get here so I can have my new fish finder. Fishing with the old simple one sucks and having a nicer one sitting under the tree gathering dust doesnā€™t help.[;)] ---

Thanks, Yea They all put up good fights, but its funny where I catch them is a small pond really close to my house but you can fish there and catch nothing with fishing it hard then some random day you canā€™t keep your line in the water, they will just keep biting like crazy. ---
