  1. Hey wrench, I am a fan of audio video. You can call me this evening if you still having problems. I can most likely walk you through the issue.
  2. ... Then the coal company came with the world's largest shovel And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man. And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the Green River where Paradise lay Well, I'm sorry my son, but you're too late in asking Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away "Pardise" by John Prine
  3. Seriously, this is the biggest fish I've had the pleasure (sort of) to hold. My 14 year old son was operating the boat. We were just cruising along. I was watching forward to make sure we wouldn't hit anything. I heard some banging noise, thought he hit a log, and it would be a second, the log would clear. A second or two later, he yells. I turned around and to my surprise we had a stole away.
  4. St Francis state park. Mooners Hollow Trail.
  5. Took me 24 years. But I've caught the fish that started my interest in micros. I thought they were orange throated darters, but after catching and seeing the darter behavior, I knew that the fish I first seen were different. While hiking a trail as a younger man, I seen some interesting minnows that I thought looked like tropical aquarium fish. I had no idea how to catch them minus a small net. Thanks to @Johnsfollyfor showing me the ropes, inhale truly finally caught the fish that started my interest. There are quite a few in this thread, these are in the order they were caught. Nature would have it, the best was last. This would be the only male red belly dace I would catch. It came from the last pool on the trail.
  6. Be careful with that chainsaw Oneshot. The most important parts of life include the BIRDS and the BEES.
  7. To those of you who donate to kids. I hope you all realize how appreciated you are. I was that "kid". So that being said, let me say THANK YOU for them. They may never get to thank you, as I will never know who helped me. But, I do know there were many more than I'll ever know about.
  8. Doesn't look over 6 pounds to me.
  9. I'm "that neighbor". I only now my yard. Luckily, I have cool neighbors and they dont seem to mind.
  10. 1: Are you interested? 2: What would be considered a Micro? 3: 24, 48, 36, 72 hours ect how long of tournament? 4: What dates woukd you be interested in, and would this be an in person event?
  11. I've always been sent to my doctor or hospital. Myself, wife and kids. I have no use for them.
  12. I'm a Senior, and I approve this message. I can tell you by being a Sr, some will believe you are older than you are, right @Quillback? Lol. I somehow usually get laughed at when I ask for the Senior discount. ( I'm 42 for those who haven't met me). Seniors rule!
  13. Got to do some Easter fishing. Lucas didnt want anything to do with the egg hunt. So we got our rods and went. He has a lure he really likes, but its not a cheap one. He didn't want to use it, as he is afraid to lose it. I explained that he would never know if it would catch a fish if he never tried. I said, it's a lure, made to catch fish. Cant be afraid to try. He tried, and succeeded in skunking me. Lucas 2 Dad 0. There is a fish, it matches his hoodie.
  14. From my daughter who is 11, Dont trust Atoms, they make up every thing. Have you heard of the mathematician who hates negative numbers? He'll stop at NOTHING to avoid them. I broke my umbrella in half today. But it's ok, there's only a 50% chance of rain.
  15. Had a great time hanging out with all of you guys. As mentioned above, I rode in Mike's boat @liphunter. Ultra nice guy. We fished hard, but neither of us know Tablerock very well. We worked the water we covered very well. Just could not get them to bite. The food and fellowship was as great as always. A bit of a cold start, first time I had my guides freeze while fishing, but, I earned a sunburn also. Had a little mishap while setting up camp. I camped out at Roaring River State Park, I accidentally took someone's reserved site. I returned Saturday after the tournament, there were 4 cars in the driveway and tents up along with mine. I apologized and told the occupants I would move, they insisted that I stayed. Very nice family, they fed me and allowed me to hang out with them. The best part, they did not "look like me", yet they accepted me in their family outing. There is still hope in this world.
  16. I am on my way, forgot my charcoal chimney lighter. If someone can bring one, or some charcoal starter, I would be grateful.
  17. I often unintentionally click on others' profiles. I wonder if there are notifications, or how often people view their own. Been a while since I have.
  18. I have a couple pairs of Glacier Gloves I found a pair when I was a teenager and lost them. A couple years ago at TaneyFest I found another pair at Lilley's Landing. 100% waterproof, thin neoprene and warm.
  19. Ethics, it what separates good people and not so good people.
  20. I have a 10' topper, and a van with a trailer hitch I can hold equipment, for a shuttle. I would be interested in a flotilla. Not sure how those waters would hold that kind of pressure. We have One Bass Tournament Match 20, so I'm out for that weekend.
  21. EYE got a GIGGLE out of it.
  22. Yours look great just as well. Its psychology with fish. One person will tell you, they only bite on specific things. The same person later on will tell you the fish are all used to seeing those same specific things, and wont bite them. The best thing that I've ever figured out, is to have a line in the water. With a lure of some type of course.
  23. Welcome. I have a 14' Landau. Its tight with 2 adults and I preteen. Many of us around St Louis. I'm in Festus.
