In all fairness it's not any stupider than putting the crank of a "Right handed" reel on the LEFT side. Never could & still don't understand that one. 🤔 All my reels casting/spinning/fly have the crank on the right. If you crank right-handed with a baitcaster.....but crank left-handed with spinning & fly gear.... then you are just as ignorant as the dude in that pic. Or, the dude in the pic is just a right-handed guy fishing with a right-handed reel. Right?

MDC has no statement on the use of FFS on smaller waters, but they'll buy a 40,000.00 covert bowrider and pay 2 armed agents to cruise Lake O in search of unlicensed old ladies crappie fishing off of docks 🙄 I say "unlicensed old ladies" because any UNLICENSED GUY would just walk away as their boat approaches. I mean, what are they gonna do.....Shoot him ? 🤔

Yeah I'm thinking so too. Hell, a buddy and I got blamed for fishing a 9 acre strip pit out by fishing FROM THE BANK. And honestly I couldn't deny it. There was no question that we definitely hurt it. And it really didn't take that long either.

Everyone is embracing this whole FFS thing, and on giant impoundments, or when competing, I guess I get it.......but what about 15-300 acre bodies of water ? Are conservation agencies gonna keep these fisheries well balanced? And if so, how?

Who knows. Her firm provided her and a few others a plane ticket, so.... 🙄 If it wasn't for the others going she would just stay home, because it isn't like anyone other than that is going to notice whether she's actually there or not. 🙄

So they don't think it's useful to be able to identify vessels in Australia? Interesting mindset.

Where was he thinking he was going in that unregistered rig anyway?

Someone wants to smell and touch you, Ronnie. That's the only reason I can fathom. 🤷‍♂️ Or maybe it's for a bladder test. Let's see who can sit comfortably for 4 hours without getting up to go pee.

Daughter has to fly to Chicago for a MEETING 🙄 Tell me this.......In this day and age WHY do people have to board planes and travel half-way across the country to attend a MEETING? WHY ? Don't we have technology that makes MEETINGS possible without 50-some people having to travel and arrange places to stay ? These are highly educated & tech savvy people that just can't envision a more productive/easier/cost-effective way to gather and listen to someone speak. 🥴 What is the "carbon footprint" of all these MEETINGS?

There's a new eye exam where they go in through your rectum to test the back of your eye sockets. It's called an "opti-ectomy" for people with a $#itty outlook.

Eels are interesting critters. When you think of the places they are found, and then consider where they came from.......Wow! The craziest place I've ever seen an eel was seined up in a minnow pond near Richmond, Mo. It was a big one too (almost 3' long) and mean as hell ! They've been found above Truman dam too, which is also totally amazing. Almost unbelievable.

No ice cream out there, but there were a half dozen popsicles in the freezer..... obviously still frozen. Nevertheless I unplugged it and brought everything in the house.

Just yesterday I remembered the bottles of beer in the shop fridge. "Oh no, they are going to be frozen"........Nope 👍 Water bottles were ok too. How does that work? Do refrigerators HEAT ? 🤔 I feel kinda stupid for not knowing this.

Have you ever had a rod that the grip was made from chopped cork, with a "skin" on it that made it look like actual cork rings ? Once that skin wears thru the rest of the grip just crumbles away. I had some Quantum IM6 rods that I really liked, but the grips were the first thing to go. They just crumbled away. Really pissed me off 😡

Simple Orange hand cleaner & pressurized water 👍 Then if it's REALLY BAD.... sand it down with 220

Brassie's used to be a #10 Never liked to fish them much, but there's no denying their effectiveness.

When I was a little Scout there was a shortage of "Scout Leaders" when we advanced into Webelos. My dad RELUCTANTLY agreed to be a Webelo leader......and was the greatest Scout leader of all time. Our troop learned gun safety and marksmanship, shooting both shotguns and rifles, setting trotlines and limb lines, and SCULLING was on the list of things he insisted every member of our troop was proficient at. I don't think he ever got thanked properly for stepping up like he did.....even though he didn't want to. Kids were different then, and so were parents. I got asked to be a scout leader when I was in my 40's and after assisting/instructing a group to get their Flyfishing badges I freakin' bailed on that deal ! Sorry Dad, but kids and parents are WAY DIFFERENT now. 😔

Let's take into account that it was 4° outside on MLK weekend. What the hell else are people gonna do ? 🙄

If you're referring to me mentioning noticing a weak leg after carrying my phone in that pocket...... You'd better listen! That's a real thing. No BS And when you realize how close to your pecker that is.......Let's not take any chances 😳

I'll take your word for it. 🙂 Honestly I had no idea whether there was a lithium battery aboard the Challenger or not......I just pulled that out of myass while trying to think of a big explosion that y'all could all relate to. Nevertheless, I am still very leary of any boat equipped with Lithium power cells.... because at this point I'm not educated enough on them, and have serious reservations regarding the educations that those selling and installing them have. Ya gotta realize that when they end up HERE it's because there's a problem....and I never know who's been tinkering with stuff before it gets here. Technically every boat that pulls in the driveway is a potential ticking time bomb. If it weren't for my skepticism and lack of faith in these people...... I'd have blown myself up many times over the years. I promise you that. So call me "ignert" all ya want 😉

Dude, have you forgotten who you're talking to ? 😅

Fire doesn't jump forward on an object traveling at speed. You can't ignite the front of a car by flicking a cigarette out the window. The ignition has to happen UPSTREAM. Let's argue physics on a -4° night. Hell yeah. That'll pass the time. 👍

Gaskets and O-rings can leak, but they don't ignite anything. Nevertheless I ain't arguing with you clowns about THAT. And I especially ain't arguing with any badass that can fish a crappie jig with a baitcaster. I know when I'm out of my league. 🥴

Oh stop it 🙄 Is it time for a fishing history lesson? Synthetic braided line pre-dates nylon and/or monofilament by decades.

That's a long time to live without catching a crappie or a bluegill. Or throwing a Rapala Minnow, Roostertail or Mepps spinner. Surely you aren't gonna tell me you prefer a Zebco 33 to a spinning reel.
