Paul Nichols recently reported he ran 3 passes at 119 mph in a stock Bullet
Bass Boat. (Bullet Performance Boats). He is hoping to get 121-122 mph next
week using a smaller gear case.

I sorta agree, but Hammer and I decided last weekend to locate a section of
river and lakes where we could every type of fishign we wanted without
running back and forth up the river. We may not have nailed the big prizes,
but we definitely did ok. Our first pattern died, but we were ona
different pattern quickly enough. Instead of racing up the river to find
fish we simply tried different types of cover or depths in the same general
areas. It worked out pretty good. I think we did well simply because we
spent more time fishing.

Because getting there should be half the fun! Unless you've driven a high
performance bass boat at speed, you'll never understand.

I agree with you Steve. Fishing is just part of the fun. I enjoy the
boating aspect almost as much. Of course, I use my duck hunting boat for
fishing, but it still hits 38 MPH on a 17' Grizzly with a 60 HP mercury.

Steve, this is our first fight. You put any angler of your choice in one of
those screaming monsters, I'll put Rob Storm in his belly boat, & I'll bet
on Rob every time!

LOL, I'd love to be able to take that bet.

I agree, a good angler, such as Robbis, in a belly boat is a formidable foe,
but I can run 70+ mph to choice spots, come off plane, get on the trolling
motor and be almost as stealthy as Rob.

Part of being able to catch bass is being able to cover water. Granted,
brains, ability and thoroughly covering the water is another part, but I
have some of the above mentioned items as well.

Robbis can fish maybe 6 spots in a day, where I can be to at least 10 times
as many spots with my screaming monster.

I'd still put my money on Rob, Steve. His angling skills combined with that
slow, methodical bellyboat approach would seine those promising spots like a
medical examiner dissecting a corpse for a suspicious cause of death. Those
fish wouldn't have a chance, and would simply surrender. Once on good water
in a good place, travel time does not compute to fishing time, IMO. Ain't
fishing beautiful? Opinions don't always mean answers, because things are
never the same two days in a row.
