969.0. "Jerry McInnis is Proud of Bassin' Bob" by SA1794::CUZZONES (Surfcasting with the Alien) Mon Feb 06 1989 09:07

    Those of us who attended the Centrum show on friday night thought
    the rest of you ought to know just how proud Jerry McInnis is of
    Bassin' Bob.  Bob let Jerry know publicly that he changes his line
    more frequently than his underwear.  Jerry says that's great Bob,
    but not good enough.  You ought to change your line every day if
    you're fishing daily and using that 4 # test he wants you to use.

969.1RAINBO::MACINTYREFish are rising up like birdsMon Feb 06 1989 09:2111
    Yeap, Bob does tend to get in the spotlight at these things, last
    year it was the shower, this year it's talking to McInnis about
    his underwear during McInnis' demonstration...
    
    I have to agree with those folks that went Thursday night who said
    that Jerry McInnis was a such a nice guy.  I got a chance to talk
    to him also and he was just a casual as he is on the tube.  It's
    pretty nice of him just to hang around the booths and talk with
    folks.

969.2Yeah Me too :-)PACKER::BACZKOWhen the water is hard DRILL A HOLE!Mon Feb 06 1989 11:4811
    If I use My ultra-light about twice a week I would change my line
    every week.
    on 8-10 pound test I change it about every 3-4 times out or
    two or three time a month , or so
    
    Bottom Line:  I change my line more than Bassin' Bob changes his
    	          underwear too.

    	Double "B"......turning your underwear inside-out and getting
    anothers days use in NOT considered changing them...-).

    	PS...after Bob's story of 100 smallies in an hour....maybe
    he should state that he changes his line as often as he bleaches
    his underwear....'cause from that story, sometimes he's full of it...-)

    	Now wait a minute guys.  That wasn't any tall tale.  The only
    thing he neglected to include was that that was the total catch
    for one hour for a 200 man tournament.  :-)

    Now wait a minute...   Boy I can see how things get blowen out of
    scale.   I was just stand at the show with my bass club, listening
    to Jerry and he ask me the question. Hay I had a stren jacket I
    won on, (which looks like a buildboard)..  
    
    My under garments never came up!!!
    
    He did say that was the best answer he ever got at one of these
    shows, and did admit if you use that HEAVY 8lb test you could get
    away changing once a week...  (thats 2 days fishing in a week)
    
    As for the 100 fish an hour that was 100 small mouths in a day with
    a partner.  And if you don't believe it you have never fished in
    a top quality small mouth river that was so low the fish where
    all holding up in a big pool ...(or don't understand the schooling
    princples of some fish, like stay in the pool so you can breath
    insted of the low river about to dry up!!)
    
    Bassin Bob  (and only 6 of those fish were over 12!!)
