I have had to cut off some braid times, but the line on some of them is breaking below the knot in the mono. No issues with it last night bit I never got hung up bad enough that I needed to do anything more that give it a good banjo snap to get loose.

Yeah i saw that when 8 was looking for reviews. Tested this morning, hooked my jig to a solid point, backed off roughly the distance I might be hung up, wrapped the braid main several times around a piece of pex pipe, turned my back and started to pull. The GT Knot broke easier than I thought it should just abive the knot in the braid. So I took it all back into the barn and rollednon.a.quick double uni trimmed the ends and picked it up for a.test on it, jig didn't move, yep.i cut the main instead of the tag end, several loud curse words later I had it ready to go. Hooked it up again same test and pow it broke even easier, this time just below the knot in the mono. This time I didn't even go back.inside just threw on a quick Albright Knot and pulled it, it broke easily, again right below the knot in the mono, now I am ticked off, hands shaking so I just laid it all on the boat and walked away. Maybe I can weed some strawberries, or work up my double mineral tubs, something that doesn't require any skill or ability. Went back to it because I ain't too bright sometimes and this time tried an Alberto Knot, didn't do too bad, I think I am way overthinking it, just gonna tie the Alberto and go fishing tonight if I am up to it, see if old wally want to eat a jig.

I have had issues with the Albright knot I normally use to tie the braid main the the mono leader. I am using usually 6lb or 8 lb braid to 6lb mono. It seems to be very temperamental wh3n tying I I add one extra wrap it will cut itself at the knot, and about 50 percent of the time when I hang up I break the whole thing off, appears to be right at the knot. Well today a new one popped up on my Facebook feed called the GT knot. After watching the first video way too many times and failing completely I found a different video of it. Have tied 3 tonight (steroid day so I am awake for a while still). According to the proponent it is the strongest thing since log chains and is 100% strength, which is what every knot proponent says. Anyone ever heard if it or used it, sadly I am sure the next time I go to seek a walleye from the shore i will get a chance to test it, currently I have 4 or 5 nice new line cuts on my pinky finger from trying to break it, but that ain't real life. I found at least one review that said it was a crap knot. Since I never completely believe anything I read or see on line, including thing I say or write, I will give it a pull test this morning, I may just tie a double uni knot, kind of like to try new knots, at least one I can do with shaky hands and not a lot of thinking.

Again I only saw this cment pop up and had to read the rest. Got suckered in again. How could I resist, topic of Record Spoonbill but comments about Terrierman and FW "hooking up" and someone wanting to castrate FW. How could I not read it, you guys should write for Yahoo, at least their spelling would improve, maybe.

I think I am a few peoples "Brennan". One friend I fish with, about every year our first trip I go to pick him up, and he brings his rods out then off to do whatever elsenhe has to do. I can't stand the condition of the old mo o on his reels so I always bring a spool of cheap 6 lb test line and re spool.it while I am waiting. Have found in the end it saves time.

God advice above. I am a braid guy, but I also do a couole extra things. Since I have room to do it, I tend to strip of 50 yards or so of the line and let it flap in the wind as in wind it back on, getting any twist out of it. I also use KVD Line and Lure conditioner on my line on a regular basis.

Wife off to visit her mom, so what to make for lunch. Hmm have some shrimp, some grits and cheese. Plus decided to make some skillet bread. Pretty good hillbilly lunch and there is a corn beef in the crock pot for supper. Not gonna be a diet kind of day.

Pitt bulls can be extremely friendly and protectiv3 family dogs, and at the sight of another dog turn in murderous brutes. The meanest dog I ever owned was a mixed breed mutt, looked like half bear and half zombie. As long as you never got to within 4 feet of the truck bed he was in you were fine, any closer and you risked losing a hand. Otherwise he was a weir dog, his great joy in life was finding and killing skunks. Herding dogs like heelers and cattle dogs are notorious for chasing cars and nipping heels.

There skull is easily penetrated at high velocity.

Either one if not raised/trained correctly can turn on ya in a heartbeat.

I am at the point I would rather have a properly cooked steak. Well ALMOST there anyway.

One benefit to chemotherapy is that ticks don't seem to like me anymore. Too bad it doesn't work on skeeters.

We used to have a mixed breed mutt that was our yard retard. She had a very thick coat and would be all matted and miserable in the summer. So we decided to get her sheared. I went to pick her up and asked the lady where the dog was, she said "right there next to you in the cage". I had to look close to finally agree that it could be the same dog. She was always shy and embarrassed looking for a while, would hide and not come out. That dog went everywhere, followed the kids that ran cross country past my house, at leastn2nothwr people were feeding her. Funny part is that lady that rand the doggy place only lived down the road from me at the time, so when the time came she would catch the dog, take her to her shop and shear her, then let her out at my driveway, when I noticed she had been sheared that was my signal to go pay her, worked great for me because that dog absolutely hated to be put in a car and refused to come inside the house. She showed up as a stray part grown pup and since I didn't have an yard retard to bark at anyone who pulled in, and my kids lived her, she got live and stay for many years. AND the only thing she would not bark at is cars that pulled in, but cats, leaves, the wind all else got barked at. Hence the nickname of board retard. Kind of miss her.

Now there is some good advice!

Knife and fork? Usually those enhanced size fruits don't have the flavor that smaller ones have. But i love blueberries and would give it a try.

I am similar to what AL said, but more with spinning reels, left hand was the only option and I still use them left handed, I did expirament with the handle on the right shortly after having my shoulder replaced, I am sure a video of that would leave us all laughing. I also switched baitcastersnto left handed many years ago, but honestly I can switch back and forth with no issues. Go buy a very cheap left hand BC and try it for a while, if it doesn't click for ya, then you aren't out much. I have certainly spent more for less of a good reason..

Honestly I just checked this thread because I saw this quote and wanted to see where it was going. Carry On.

Last few years the Black vultures have been thick. Don't know why they hate/live rubber. Wipers, weather stripping g, seals etc. But they do. Dead on rs hanging in trees has some limited effect, scaring them away if done every single day has some effect, but the best is to keep anything g they might want to eat cleaned up, almost i.possible around ramps as somebody is always cleaning fish and either tossing the carcasses on the bank or wherever they can see them. Will be worse in a few more days when spoonbill carcasses start showing up on with the crappie and white bass.

And probably all.of them hD some sort of skin cancers and never knew or worried about them. My gather was a welder and later we were always outside either fishing or putting up hay. Wasn't until late is his life that mom, an RN, made him go to a dermatologist whereupon they froze off several spots. Squamous and basal cell won't kill you, but they can be a precursor for things like melanoma and that can kill you. Smoki.g yeah never quite u derstood why some folks smoked for 50 plus years never notice anythi g or if they do its in the form.of COPD and not lung cancer. Dad had bad COPD, he s.omed for probably 30 years and the fumes from welding he was down to 10 percent lung capacity and pneumonia finally got him.

There are times when I don't think fish know what thy want or should want.

I have a few skinny spears showing up in the new bed, nothing in the fence rows yet, but I did weed eat and fertilize them, they arw usually a bit later. If you need someone come and pick all the.morwls before the trespassers get them.let me know. Honestly I would rather go fishing.

I have seen some pics of reds around but that is it here. Was too dry for much. Rain and coming warm days coming will probably pop the reds, but I am like you maybe abit early for regular morels, but then again I don't look for them nearly as much as I used to and was never very good at it. Anymore I get too worried about crappie fishing!

20 years ago howany people did you know that even knew what a dermatologist was, let alone visited one regularly. Like many can ers and or diseases more are found/diagnosed because we go to Dr. more often for annual physicals etc., better diagnostics etc.

Drive down the highway and look out in the timber. You can pick out the dead/dying ash trees, they are mostly "blonde out". Ash has never been a particularly high end firewood, about one year and then it turn to dust. It will burn kind of like cardboard and weighs about as much after a year.

Skin cancer sux. I have had 4 fairly major removals from face and ears. Anytime something new pops up, my wife takes a photo and send it to the Dermatologist. Sometimes it's, nothing, at least once it cost me a few hours and I think 23 stitches. I am getting a lot better at remembering sunblock, the stretchy things you can wear etc.
