Believe me brother, I don't have anything in my boat big enough for those toothy critters either. I just stay away from them.

Stay away thats what I try to do but the last one I came across wouldn't leave "me" alone. They are usually pretty timid....

Went fishing yesterday...and for anyone thinking of getting a new graph...I can now without hesitation highly recommend the LCX-19C...I have owned a lot of graphs over the years...usually the latest and greatest on the market...I know...I know...a way to waste money.   :-[   Anyway...the detail capability of this graph is remarkable.  Yesterday while fishing I saw structure that I couldn't believe I was seeing.  It is a color graph and the color gradients are really the difference in this graph.  It shows different density as shades of color which tell you wether you are looking at mud or clay etc..  Fish holding tight to structure were very easy to see...actually I would say remarkable.  The zoom features are exceptional...not just blowing up the picture but actually changing the transducers send and receive function.  This gives you a totally new picture in the zoom modes.  The built-in GPS is totally integrated with the sonar and makes for marking and finding the same or new spots seemless.  Picture quality is nothing short of amazing.  It is very much like watching your TV at home.  By the way...if you watch the Classic...you will see this graph on a lot of the boats...now I know why...well other than they were probably donated for advertising.  ;D  It is not cheap...fully loaded it comes in at around $1800.00 but for the features there isn't another graph with these features and quality anywhere close to it.  The only negative I can report and it isn't the fault of the graph...to get true fish "arches" the transducer must be parallel to the water surface...the angles of the transom and the changing of the angle of the bottom of the boat to the water...whether trolling, running on plane or just boat loading makes it very hard to adjust the transducer angle to be flat under all configurations...this is not a real problem...but if you want "perfect" arches then it is difficult to achieve because of the boat configuration.   Just thought I would share what I found with the graph under working conditions.  Will it make you catch more fish...no...you got to do that part on your own...but as I have been told many times in fishing...opportunity must first be seen to be seized...and this graph will most certainly let you see the opportunities!

thanks ranger 375  Iwas wondering if the extr pixels were worth it I fish the Bass pro ams (as an amiture) most were running a 15mt Blk / white  Boy did they have a nice picture on the screen. I now am running a lawrance 320 and a botom line tournament master. but like you I want a good picture and I thanks Dave thought color would be clearer (I know I am slow)
