Today's Top 5

1. This is a flat out Love Story.

don barone on bassmaster.com talkin' 'bout Elite pro Mark Menendez's wife Donna finding out she has cancer again. Very tough.

Awesome folks with two young kids. If you pray, please pray for them.

2. If I was going to get DQd for something, I wish it was at least something that would've given me an advantage.

FLWer Anthony Gagliardi on getting Dairy Queened at the Okee FLW for practicing with an unapproved person within 30 days of the first official practice day. Another guy got stung too.

Sounds like they have a few days to Grill & Chill:

Never thunked I'd see the day when FLW would allow talk about rule violations. Props to 'em. For cryin' out loud it's no big deal!

3. I went out with the same philosophy I've had since the first of January – make a million casts and hope by the end of the day I've got five.

Rayburn Rayovac winner Chris McCall talkin' 'bout his "crank 'Traps or die" strategy. Worked!

4. Don't look!

Troy Lindner bassin' out in AZ, I believe, had an incident:

Said the bass on the bait at the time made it real interesting….

5. Froggin' in Africa.

Sent in by a BB reader. Awesome. Give us some of that weather….

Sound he makes here cracks me up….

Was colder here in NJ than in ALASKA the other day.

Tip of the Day

Paul Elias: January rez tips.

Yep almost Feb, but he's talkin' Jan in MS:

> Most of the bigger bass will be in deep water from mid-lake down to the dam.

> Depending on the air and the water temps, bass will be holding on the flats, on the lip of the break (the point where the old creek bank falls off into the channel) or out in the middle of the channel.

> More than likely, the bass will be concentrating on the bottom or suspended about 5 feet off the bottom.

> The colder the weather, the more likely that the fish will be holding in the center of the creek channel.

> The outside bends of these channels are where we’ll spend a lot of time fishing. The bass will be schooled up there…often you’ll catch more than one bass out of the same location.

> You’re most likely to catch bass where a creek channel makes a bend.

> The lures I use to find and catch January bass include the Alabama Rig, the Mann’s HardNose jig, the Little George, the Stone Jig, spinnerbaits and Mann’s C4 crankbait.

> I’ll cast all these lures to the same place before I move until I discover exactly where the bass are holding and which lure they prefer.

> I’ll cast each lure to the flat and bring it over the lip of the break. After I’ve made three or four casts this way, my next three or four casts will swim each lure down the edge of the underwater drop-off. Then, on my final set of casts, I’ll swim my baits down the middle of the channel.

Shot of the Day

It's COLD in FL. So you'd think that FL basses – bein' extry-sensitive to cold – wouldn't bite, right? Well, you'd be…


…wrong!
