Okay, seriously- you guys are a bunch of addicts(myself included). The rush of adrenaline when the hook is set is just the sweetest thing possible. All of us, amping up, reading these forums, ordering tackle and strategizing... can we say EXCITED!!! I think there will probably be 46 separate GS7 posts on the forum by the time tournament time is here. I can barely contain myself. It is clear we all suffer from the same affliction and we cannot get enough. This will be my first GS tournament. I have to say, NCKA has been the greatest find for me. Being out on the water with friends makes even a skunk day a great day. So happy to have this outlet. Hope to meet many more fellow addicts.

PS: I'm new, but I'll be winning

PSS: My secret weapon is a small rubber chicken my 6 year old son gave me. Trolling that with a watermelon dodger and other various bling.

Tie a deep water trooching rig salmon legal. Drag some big bait 3-5' off the bottom. It's not rocket science.
