  1. So is it a hybrid? If so, is it not the world record hybrid gar?
  2. Lines every morning at Starbucks. Guess it is a status symbol cause the coffee is not good. Or maybe just folks feeding their caffeine addiction. Wouldn't know there is a recession gong on with the lines at restaurants and Starbucks. Grocery prices have gone up and packaging has gotten smaller. Bet when things level out the smaller packages remain.
  3. Whether it is an A- Rig or FFS. At certain times of the year and on certain bodies of water if you don't have/use them you are not going to win a tourney.

    Today's sammich

    Folks must be getting uptight with all this heat. Who gives a care what someone else prefers to eat. Some like sauces some don't. Some prefer this and some prefer that. Eat what you want and how you want it.
  5. Would not shock me for some non-FFS derbies to show up.
  6. Learned to fly fish with a Shakespeare Wonder rod and an automatic fly reel. Caught many trout at Meramec Springs and in the UP on that rod. Numerous bass and gills in MO as well. FIrst ultralight was a Wonder rod as well. Still have them both. Might need to bust them out again.
  7. Had the Mohs surgery for a spot on the back of my right hand. I go in every year for the Doc to check me over. Definitely not taking chanes.
  8. Why cut it open. Slap a magnet to it and best hope it sticks.
  9. If a change in the way you weigh/record fish would cause folks to cheat then they are already cheating I'd guess.
  10. Do they Brecknell scales have a culling feature to drop your lowest weight fish?
  11. No wonder you aren't putting a guide on for my fshndoug. Out playing on the H2O with Wrench. Lemme know when you can tie a guide on for me.
  12. Caught a lot of largemouths on pink sluggos
  13. I concur with your thoughts Bill. We always check the board to see if we have enough to weigh. If we don't have enough we dump them back in the lake asap. I don't mind if a kid goes up and weighs so they can get that experience. I know of several anglers in our local derby that weigh their fish regardless. They want to let folks know they caught a limit even though they are no where near the check line. Ego often times over rules common sense with some folks..
  14. Tournaments will never be shut down by the State of Missouri. Way too much money being spent by tourney anglers in the lake areas they frequent. Probably factored into tourism dollars. MO likes their sales tax $$$$. I have seen 2 boats show, pay, and fish in a local tournament. Tournament fishing is fun and some folks can make money at it. If I didn't make money I would not fish tourneys. However, the number that actually make money at it is very small. If you don't finish first or second, chances are you will lose money. Entry fees, lodging, food, fuel, are the biggest expenses but there are others such as insurance, tow vehicle/boat/trailer maintenance/repair, registrations, etc. I do not see how most folks justify tourney fishing when they just lose money. Sure seems to be no shortage of tourneys and folks that will pay to play.
  15. After cleaning the bearing I put it on a small screw driver and hit it with a can of compressed air to dry the bearing. Then I put a small drop of rocket fuel on it and spin to spread the oil.
  16. I always clean bearings with lighter fluid for a cigarette lighter. Works well. Sure does not take much rocket fuel to lube the bearings once cleaned.
  17. might as well add FFS to the list of harmful things to the bass population.
  18. Money can get you things others can never even think about. What she did is a feat, but money put her in the location to do it. In reality I could care less about billfish records as most billfishing is an elitist sport.
  19. Instead of Ubering and all that just have fishndoug take the vehicle in, get the paperwork, and go get it registered for her. He is retired and has nothing better to do. Doug I need a guide replaced.
  20. Those problems are on the dealership. They should have provided all the documents at the time of sale. She should be raising heck with them.
  21. Not sure why the cops aren't ticketing the expired plates and the long expired paper temp tags. Really irritates me.
