    I only have only fished 5, caught in 4. I do not wish to visit all of the states, so I'll never catch in all. I do want to catch some Colorado trout, and California bluegill. I plan to arrange a saltwater trip this year, but, Cody and the boys have been keeping me busy on MO and AR trout.

    Tying onto the tanago hooks is pretty difficult due to the pre attached leader. I've tried many times and often break the hook. Here is a link to a photo tank that includes a measurement to keep track of your lunkers. @Ham and or @Johnsfolly may be able to help with identifying your catches that you are having uncertainties about. Welcome to the fun.

    Wow, that takes alot of trust and fearlessness. I don't nearly enough of either one.

    We had an all out excellent time. From smoked pork steaks, Korean quesadillas, duck Philly cheese steak sandwiches, zuppa tuscana soup, GUMBO!!, cheesy baked mashed potatoes, biscuits and gravy, fried crappie, fried shrimp, and lots I'm forgetting. Tied some flies, rode in boats, caught fish, told stories and jokes. Oh, and a flotilla. Yup, it was a blast.

    Sounds like a great idea. And thanks for the compliment/acknowledgement. I feel pretty special getting tips from PeppeRonnie. LOL. Honestly, I was kinda curious on your thoughts.

    How many sections does that 30 foot rod have?

    Homeade Pizza tonight. The bacon is not burnt, just could not get good lighting. These slid right out of the cast iron. Really good pizzas over all. I.greased upmthe skillets with butter, covered it with fish fry, I was out of corn meal. Pillsbury pizza dough dry packs, marinara sauce, topped with cooked sausage, pepperoni, cheese, black olives and partially pre cooked bacon. Baked at The cutter was a great investment, Walmart special.

    There was a radio controlled car/toy called Typhoon II when I was a kid. I wanted that thing so bad. It was a much smaller version of this. I found the commercial. Recently I seen a YouTube video where a group of guys bought one and were putting it through its paces, it seemed to not be nearly as cool as I would have expected.

    My kids are getting to a place where I can get more time away, and hopefully I get my canoe done by spring. That will open a but of opportunity for me to get out more than years past. I am also no longer needing to work 2 jobs, that takes a lot of time from hobbies. As Snagged mentioned, the waters near me are so low, I'm not sure how well I'll be able to paddle. We will see.

    The banks there are intimidating.

    It was. I also appreciate the camera work. No flashing lights, or distractions. Just pure music, and soul. Love it. https://youtu.be/NCrWp1kPHtw?si=MknBlWehlsg_Qoc-

    Too much history and I will be napping. 😆

    Sounds like the Montauk guys have taken to bass fishing on boats.

    I was curious if it was a holdover, but the video I seen was very poor at reporting any details other than it fros from a stocking program. I wonder if mammoth would eat trout.

    I've actually only seen the first 2. I like the idea of it, but on the other side of the token, how many things have we regretted altering? Currently they are trying to introduce a new mosquito. I believe they are close to releasing it in Florida. It will compete with the native mosquito and eventually wipe them out. Then supposedly, the lab version is to die out. All well and good, until you take away food sources (mosquitoes) for some other animals (bats, birds, fish, etc), and they become endangered. ....and so on up the chain. Bats are already having problems locally. I believe your statement was in comedy, and my reply is definitely light hearted. And, quite honestly, a group of mammoths or mastodon would be pretty destructive. We have Mastadon State park near me, and there is a replica skeleton of a mastodon in the visitor center. Pretty impressive. Makes the elk look like large dogs.

    I really hope they are not successful in recreating any species that have become extinct. There are many more problems they will bring, vs solutions.

    Smoked pork steaks. Free from a Kenricks coupon Rachel found. Honey was gifted to us from @jdmidwest. Flavors, priceless.

    Heard there was a game going on. No desire to watch it. I have been wanting to use a flat top griddle, but don't really want to buy one, or store one. I have a small propane grill, and have used a cast iron griddle on it. The problem is there is no drain hole. I use it on my stove to also. I bought a sacrifice cast iron griddle that has a drain valley. I drilled a hole, sanded it down because it was very coarse. I seasoned it, and gave it a try.

    For those following for next year, Phil started a new thread Taneyfest 2025, for Feb 7,8

    Interesting. I'm not seeing a real reason to demolish it, other that potential liability for upkeep and damages. I also believe bringing back to nature can't be the worst thing to happen. I can sure understand the homeowners and property owners nearby who want it to stay as it is.

    Went tonight. Caught on a jig from Lilley's. Same one I caught the trophy rainbow on. Broke it off later in the evening.

    I would love to see what you can do. Honestly mine is nothing special. At all. It is really just a piece of fiberglass rod from an electrical wire routing kit. I used a mini lathe to taper it down. The guides are eye pins from the sewing section. UV resin. The handle which proves to be much too short is 3 pieces of craft cork turned in the lathe to resemble a handle.

    Went down after work. Caught on my homeade flyrod, and flies I tied.

    You know what they say about publicity.
