Correction: YOU make ME feel old. Aging used to be fun. I digress.

Excellent question of how I found 360. I remember when you emailed me a picture or two of some crappie you caught at Roberts (they were monsters), anyway, you had a link or something referencing a Tuna website.

I could have sworn it was 972 or 9 something tuna.com or perhaps the area code of Galveston and tuna.com. Finally after enough searching I found this website a year or so ago and saw something you posted on the main page or a forum post or something. I have remembered it ever since.

As far as putting on a DD-22 for trolling-- I'd have to look that up, but I've come up with some cool rigs for the new downrigger I bought for his boat. We look like a shrimp boat when we go trolling there are so many poles in the water!

Trying to convince a friends dad to take me out to catch some winter black's off the coast of Florida where he lives-- I think he might be giving in.

Edit: Pope, my deer lease is on about ~5500 acres (2400 huntable) with some huge tanks (some fed from Whitney), good place to catch some big bass, I'll try to find those photos. I looked up those dd-22's. I've got some deep diving rapalas now 18+ feet. The new downrigger allows us the depth we need while looking at the graph, marking fish, and adjusting. Now much hope for them now, but I think its getting a little cold, so we are going to need to slow the presentation down, perhaps slab'em, or go hit some stripers in texoma with some sassy shads.
