    Laptop suggestions

    Ok boys and girls, I'm getting deployed here pretty soon. I need some suggestions for a decent laptop in the 400-600 dollar range. I will (hopefully) be using it to video chat with the family, create word and excel docs, and watch the occasional movie. Any help would be appreciated.

    Check out the tail

    First decent fish of 2010

    Me an my parnter got out for some tourney practice a few weeks ago on Sinclair and I hooked this decent girl. I had to hold off on posting so not everyone would know where she was caught.

    Bunk orientation

    I'm sure this has been asked before, but I'll ask again. Which way is best to for the bunks to lay? Should they lay flat or on edge. I have seen it both ways on different boats. I noticed the brackets for the edge mounts are cheaper. Just wondering which way to go.

    Japan's Kurita ties for world record largemouth bass

    What does everyone think? Personally, I'm happy for the fella. I just wish it was caught on an artificial lure and not live bait. George Perry's stood for a long time and still kinda does I guess.
