That made me LOL, and it happened to a friend of mine who's girlfriend drank his spit bottle. Happens more than people think.

Not that I'm suggesting getting an outdoor cat,But we have so many outdoor cats around here(not our cats) that we have Zero and I mean Zero issues with mice and rats. I saw a mouse once or twice but they don't last long around here. You need to find where they are getting their food source and eliminate any kind of shelter a mice can have. If you have a fireplace and store wood outside that's one place you can find mice for sure.

Lost 4 rage tail grubs to bluegills back to back casts.......They rip kinda easy. :/ I have caught a bunch of fish with them though...so I really can't complain too much.

Man,I knew that poll was missing something! Next to Snicker's that would be my second choice.

Snickers by far! I eat snickers,snicker blizzard from DQ,snicker ice cream bars from stores and any other way a snicker comes in even snack size snickers. So Snickers gets my vote. But when it starts getting too hot I'll grab a payday.Specially when I'm out fishing and stop to take a break a little bit. Melted chocolate doesn't appeal to me .

A lot of that has been happening lately...lol

yeah,Grizzly wintergreen. Health issues,nothing yet.... My job is banning all use of tobacco in plant.....Which is gonna suckkkkkk! I may have to try to quit because of this. But I have a bad bad habit of dipping tobacco before the first cast of the day when i fish.It calms me down for the day as well.So a bad day doesn't seem so bad. Honestly Junk food has did more damage to my health than tobacco and alcohol so far.

I get excited catching any fish...LOL. But my "OH hell yeah!" usually comes on fishing 3lbs or bigger.

I've been questioning myself rather I made the right choice in having a kid...My wife blatantly said it herself to me once.Kids are expensive,I don't care what anybody says. The problems I've got with mine isn't even the kid's fault. You really have to expect the unexpected when it comes to having kids and a family. Honestly....It is a stressful life. In some sense it is worth it because of some of the joy kids can bring you.In other ways it can really screw people up. But if you are really unsure of it...STAY SINGLE! There's nothing and I mean NOTHING wrong with staying single....90% of my single friends are some of the happiest people I know. 75% of my married friends are some of the most messed up people I know. There are some people I know specially the girls who jump into relationships so fast that later in life pretty much regret everything. I didn't start my family till I was 27. So even then,I started later than most might. I know I may be on the darker side of this from most people's opinion,but just take a look at most families and marriages....most of them are a mess. Maybe I may be looking at the wrong in this here and around negativity more than I should be. It a choice and a hard one....there's good and bad in both staying single or being married. But honestly,kids can be your pride and joy,they come from a part of you and their mother. Something like that can really change you.While i still question myself,I have no regrets....So have no regret in whatever you choose to do in life.

Email that to your national wildlife people...they might know. nasty looking.

I'm not mad at pikes,but they've taken some of my best lures on me...I think that's why I have a hard time using expensive baits as well...

Stupid show....20 minutes into it I had enough of it.Outlandish is one good way to put that show. Not a big fan of shows like that to be honest.

I agree,many people don't understand that concept though. Specially the occasional weekend angler. If he would have been nicer to me i probably would have handed him the grub I was using(even though he still may have not caught anything). Thing was I was also using black plastic stickbaits as well....I think he was just frustrated he wasn't catching anything and i was. I know that river system really well....people don't seem to understand that. I have a good understanding of where the fish were at.

I know exactly how you feel. Find a good spot and somebody will start getting jealous. Happened yesterday(memorial day) go figures that everybody was out. Some guy saw me catching some nice ones and asked when I was gonna move down. I just shrugged my shoulders and go "when I feel like it". Told him he was more than welcome to fish beside me. While I kept catching he wasn't....he got frustrated and left after I wouldn't tell him the exact lure i was using...LOL....some people really amaze me at the immaturity level they are at.

Watch out for too good to be true Lucky craft deals on ebay...many of them are fake lucky crafts.

Not cheap to move them that's for sure.Lots of paper work involved as well. I've heard somewhere in the range of $1000-2000.

Awesome! You did come up here on the right time.

Shimano makes good reels. Although I don't care for the G series reels. The D series was my favorite although they are a little on the heavy side.Didn't bother me none. Daiwa makes good reels also,they are a little pricier though.(my prefer reels). I love my fuego. Haven't tried a lew's yet...but I will be one day. I hear nothing but good reviews from most people that own one. But right now,I really don't need any reels and need to use what I have.My Spinning reels get the most usage and they are all Daiwas...

yeah post some pictures and somebody here can probably tell you what happened. Quite a few guys in here that fix reels might be able to identify the problem.

Sorry for your lost. It sounds like he was very near and dear to you. Be glad you got to spend all that time with him and remember all them memories. He's in a better place now.

Yup still use em' here.

I know the feeling....I lost a good one a few years back what would have been probably my first fish over 5lbs. That ain't too shabby for us Northerner. I made several mistakes that day too...

Watermelon!

I really don't have a favorite brand. I do however use certain name brand more than others,but everything I have has worked and caught fish. My favorite color however seems to be watermelon.

So a stabilizer would be a good idea then? I'm gonna have to sell off a few baitcasters to fund this(I rarely use them)...LOL So i really want to make sure I'm making the right decision. I did not feel comfortable in my kayak....It's already a concern. Already have this much invested into it. I really want to feel comfortable in it....not so tippy that it was in the short time I was in it.They were extremely easy to tip over which really made me feel uneasy about it. There's no way I'm gonna even be able to fish from it,much less set the hook on a fish without feeling like i was gonna tip it over. I'm just hoping I didn't make a bad decision on buying "that" kayak as compare to the one I was gonna buy at DSG store. regardless I'm somewhat stuck with it now.
