This can't be right.....Is it ?

I lived 58 years without knowing anything about Oak Mites......Then I got introduced to them, and have feared them ever since. To my knowledge there's nothing you can apply to yourself that can prevent getting eaten alive if you step into their area.

I think it would add a cool element to tournament fishing if culling had to be determined BEFORE you put a fish in the livewell. Once you put the fish in the box it has to be part of your limit. And once you add #5 you're done.

Oak mites are my personal least favorite insect.

I'm not claiming that his disqualification can't be justified by that. I assure you that is the ONLY reason why that particular little "rule" is listed. Do you suppose that during the polygraph the winner is asked if his kill switch was attached at all times while the engine was running ?

Here's the thing though......When he showed up with the 7.25 fish the "OFFICIAL" should have informed him that he couldn't weigh another fish until the next period. That hiccup should have flagged the instant that it was entered/recorded The official weighed it, and recorded it, and the program allowed those standings to hold on the roster all day. I followed it all day long, and the leaderboard updates automatically every 5 minutes or so. I just feel like a large part of the "mistake" falls on MWFT. If you and your computer program can't keep track of that many participants then maybe it should be limited to the number of participants that you (and your program) can keep track of. 🤔

MDC condones snagging them, ripping multiple hooks out of them, and then throwing them back in the water to possibly die.....But nobody considers that "Serial killer behavior" ? Or mutilation?

Man I feel bad for that dude😔 In all actuality having the fish weighed & released ASAP was the most proper thing to do.....verses holding it in the livewell for hours.

'tis the season 😊. At least that river gauge isn't as stupid as the one at Truman

We had a hatch of these guys yesterday evening..... but nothing but dead ones covering the ground today. I'm glad they were short lived 👍

I certainly don't "hate them", and there's no denying that we need them.....but the Idiocracy, corruption, and wasteful spending is so blatently in our faces that their continuance without any critical oversight blows my mind.

"Alpha gal" is responsible for the increased divorce rate. How it got related to yet another type of parasite is beyond me.

Y'all ever wonder why tick bites are so dangerous now ? I've been pulling ticks out of myself my whole life, and it was never a big deal.....But nowadays every tick causes some degree of panic. It's either more medical BS being propagated via the Internet, or it is a form of biological warfare. Population control maybe?

Swapped out a steering system today. Looking at my arms..... Fiberglass rash. No antibiotics here ! 😅 Shook it off and went out to see if I could catch a mess of Whites..... Not bad 😉

I actually kinda understand the disdain of these creatures, and I personally don't approve of MDC's spending, and regulations, in regards to them......But this is taking it to a level that can't be justified. Pretty sick ! 😒 There's some truly weird people out there, and they walk among us.

I had a neighbor that would immediately jump up and run to the other side of the property if I lit a cigarette....... But every other evening you could find him standing in his back yard, over his burn barrel, poking & stirring it with a stick while he burned his trash. 🙄

Ok, but 90% of the time you're GUESSING who the RELIABLE SOURCES are.

No guarantees 🙄 Gender neutral in 2026.

Woah, now there's a 300.00 word ! 🎓 I bet Phil's doctor couldn't even pull that one out 👍

I don't know about racoons in particular.....but most critters don't poop where they sleep unless they don't have a choice. So I wouldn't be so quick to blame it on smoldering coon crap. Probably something else.

Sold ! She's finally out there shakin' tits now. 😊

Oh yeah they will. When FFS is part of the deal, they might as well just draw names out of a hat. It's an Easter egg hunt.

And this is the REAL REASON why our food is cooked..... and served hot.

2031 ? 🤔

After about 8 shots of Makers Mark anyone hanging out with you has a bear for a pet.
