Here's what I told Todd Castledine. Am I right or wrong ????

If you can't find someone closer I'd be happy to take care of it. I'm currently 2 weeks swamped though.....so nothing is likely to happen overnight.

The angler is from Kansas......so...... 😂

Woah! That's impressive 👏 And the Ozarks remains your favorite just because you were born/raised here.....or why ? I've been asked why I love Missouri so much, and I don't have a honest answer......but for some reason I just do 🤷‍♂️

I have a lot of customers in the Wentzville area.😉 As far as I know there's nothing but Mercury & Yamaha dealers in your part of the state.......And they are going to be far too busy catching up on warranty work & rigging to even talk about your 70 Evinrude, even if they do happen to have someone knowledgeable hanging around. The closest that I'm aware of that MIGHT be able to help you is Eberlin's in Hermann 573-486-5897

3 years ago I could have recommended someone close to you. But everyone has hired new "techs" since then, and those techs have only been taught how to diagnose engines that they can plug into computers. So 🤷‍♂️ Fact is: I'm a dying breed......and YES I fully plan to capitalize on it. 😊

No sense in guessing. Gimme 10 minutes with it and I can tell ya. 😉

Can't speak for RB but when I was tournament fishing I only took a day off when I had them dialed-in solid, and was strokin'em. The tougher it got....the harder & longer I fished. I sure don't miss that grind. 😉

Our definition of "very long"... and the fishes definition of "Very Long" might pose a problem. Speaking of having your crap in order................................................................Wanna hear a conspiracy theory? The REAL reason for the "Live Release Boat" is so the number of dead fish don't get noticed soon after a weekend event. 😉

Does this "off limits" rule apply ?

Did they do an autopsy or X-ray to be sure it didn't have any lead in it? No? Why not? 🤔 I thought that was the standard protocol now.

At the end of the day, the average size of the 5 fish you weigh-in might be. Sure. But the number of fish you touch during the entire day??? I doubt it. Let's talk about how much time each fish you touch spends OUT OF THE WATER. All of that culling and figuring out which one goes in the box......🙄

I'll gladly back-up my "gay as hell" classification, if you need me to. But if you don't see it already......you will in a couple years. I promise ya.

Only on Bassmaster Live & MLF will you see guys not targeting every bass they see. And even then.... ONLY after they have 5 four-pounders in the livewell and they are trying to upgrade their limit. So that argument is kinda lame, don't you agree?

Yeah, if you live way out in the woods ALL ALONE and don't ever want to be visited by anyone, or any other animal.....Then a pitbull is a fine choice. But in a society where we all try to get along with each other as best we can.....they are a bad fit. There's a good reason why Lions, Cougars, and Tigers are not known as good pets too. Although I'm sure they can be very sweet.

Me either. They are cool dogs! My only hangup with them is how they don't play nice with other dogs. Two dogs getting into a little scrap.....and then getting over it, and still being pals, just doesn't happen when a pitbull is in the mix. I don't like that attitude.

The funniest thing I've ever seen was a Chihuahua attempting to assault a Cat of the same size. That cat just sat down and slapped the spit right out of its mouth! 😂

Ignorant because they choose the wrong breed to begin with!

You realize that you probably said that to someone who needs 4 full days to purchase a pair of shoes, right ? 🙄

Why am I not surprised? 😅

The main difference being that I'm not the one showing up in their back yard. 🤔 You should have seen them after the first few Winter storm events, trying to navigate these hilly lake roads. Dressed in tights and sandals with no jacket in the car..... Totally perplexed and pissed because they couldn't get out to go shopping. And not even a "Thanks" for the ones rescuing them. 🙄 As if was OUR fault! They tend to buy property and migrate here during August/September each year, and come the following summer they'll STILL have California plates on their cars. Otherwise you'd just assume they were brainless crackheads with lots of money. 😅 Word on the street is that some end up here via the Witness Protection program. 😳 "Two years ago Dad was a bus driver who witnessed a murder.....and TODAY the whole family are millionaires". That type of thing.

What is is with California? 🤷‍♂️ People I've met from there seem like a totally different breed. 🤔

Helps keep me sharp and focused. So thanks returned 👍 As time goes on I tend to get less & less enthusiastic about this crap. Having someone occasionally challenge me helps keep my mind in the game. 😉

I had a Doberman when I was a teenager. He was a really good boy, could take him anywhere.....as long as there was no chance that a black kid would be riding a bicycle. White person on a bike= No problem. Black person walking= No problem. But a black person on a bike triggered him somehow 🤷‍♂️ After his 3rd incident he pretty much lived the rest of his life in a pen. 😔 I'll not own another dog that is a danger to anyone else, or any other dog, without good reason. Period. Cats are on their own ! 😅

Yeah you wouldn't want to scoop the poop that comes from my boy. He craps mountains! And occasionally pukes like a 400lb. drunken linebacker. There's nothing like finding a lost pair of panties or a whole sock in a pile of puke. 🙄 Great way to start the day!
