  1. If you've ever been victim of a jammed impeller and wanna prevent that from ruining your day again, throw one of these in the boat. A counter-clockwise spin of the flywheel will free it up 90% of the time.....but you'll never be able to do it without the flywheel wrench.
  2. I need to make you one of my (yet to be patented) Grate clearing tools. 😊
  3. Ha! I always wait for the perfect time to say "Well, are you ready to admit how stupid this idea was yet?"
  4. Well that's definitely the kinda bait to be selling.....one that is hot year round. The lizard I've been bugging Mitch about is truly only at its best for 2 months out of the year. That may be why nobody makes them anymore.
  5. Was there a strategy in mind for the release date? I'd expect that Helgie to be at it's prime come late May-July. Is it a prime Winter choice? If a floating lizard ever gets developed it needs to hit the market as close to mid-April as possible. 😎
  6. Fishing is the only good reason I can think of to leave my yard. Bedamned if I'm traveling further than 1/4 tank of gas will take me if there isn't some kind of fishing to be done.
  7. I'd have to agree. Opening it to bow hunting or air guns would be cool, but sending a bus load of hillbillies into the park with center-fire rifles is just asking for it.
  8. Whew, you fellas spend alot of time staring at that box of light. It's a wonder you haven't burned your eyeballs up. 🤔
  9. I get 8-10 jet rigs brought in every year because "the motor just locked up". The issue is almost always the result of slowing down in very shallow water which causes small bits of gravel to get stuck between the impeller and the liner, seizing things up and killing the motor, then the starter doesn't have enough torque to spin the crank and restart it. I love to see their happy faces when they learn they haven't blown a powerhead and they are back in business for less than 100 bucks. 😊
  10. I shoulda known you were a lefty 🙄 We've recently taken up Ping Pong around here, and the only person that kicks my butt every single game is the retarded lefty from down the road.
  11. Kinda like learning to ride a dirt bike. You're gonna crash a few times, but it won't be severe unless you leave all of your common sense back at the truck. I'm gonna advise against running with an experienced guy much before hopping in your own boat (as Gavin suggested) because it might give you the impression that you can do stuff that you can't.....not right away anyway. When I took my first jetboat run on my own I had been a passenger in several before and thought I knew what I was capable of doing before I actually was. If I had started blowing through stuff at a more gradual pace I would have saved myself several dents, rivets, and impellers. 😊
  12. Whereabouts do you reside ?
  13. He was a good boy that would do anything you wanted him to do. He lived to please whoever he was hanging out with, never once causing a problem or being a nuisance. Orion is the polar opposite of Riverdog, he has to test your patience every day, and once he's taken you to the point of wanting to kick him in the face then he's happy and wants to be your best friend. His latest "thing" is initiating a staring contest. He will sit down in front of you and just gaze into your eyes with his ears perked up like he wants you to do something or is expecting you to do something for him......but he doesn't really need or want anything, just demands to be the center of attention. If you stare him down and ignore him long enough then he will go get something like a sock, shoe, ornament off the Christmas tree ect. and then stand there with it as if to say "Looky here! Whatcha gonna do now?". Once he has finally pushed every button and gotten you irritated enough to pop him upside the head and scream at him.....then he comes over, lays his head on your leg or will cuddle up with one of the girls as if to say "I just love this family sooo much". He's a weirdo and a jackass that lives to toy with your emotions.
  14. Last seen partying at Coconut's and he knew his way around well enough that getting killed was pretty much out of the question. So I'm left to assume that someone fell in love with him and decided to steal him.
  15. That Ande stuff has been around forever, yet I've never met a single fisherman that uses it. And it's never been included in any tests/comparisons that I've ever seen.
  16. Oh the horrors! 😮
  17. I'm a fan of co-poly lines too. The only problem with them is if you over-stretch it the mono and flouro don't recover the same and the line goes all curly-Q and won't straighten back out. The amazing abrasion resistance makes up for that though if you're fishing around rocks/cables/and such. P-Line CX Premium is my fav.
  18. Oh horseshit! The only time I ever lose a bait is when I loan one to you ! 😎
  19. I try to launch as close as possible to the area I plan to fish, so it's rare that I run further than 10-15 miles from there. So even if I fished every single day I'd only average 30 minutes per day, or less, on my outboard. How many limits of fish do you suppose the average guy drives past in a day's time?
  20. And minus all that stress you'd be in good enough shape to handle 10 more years.....and then some. 👍🤙
  21. Heck I feel that exact same way even on beautiful sunny days with nothing evil forcasted at all. Throw in a sketchy forcast and I'm even happier to not cross a county line all day. 😊
  22. Awe man! I forgot that Riverdog was there.
  23. Saw him take a good hit from a shorted out popcorn popper once that promptly took him to his knees. 😆 So I bet a taser would stop him. Especially now that he is alot older. I never had to be very tough growing up because I had a big-brother that was a badass. 😊
  24. Some people can take a direct shot of pepper spray, my brother can and says it's "an inconvenience" but that's about it. Personally I've never had the balls, or a good reason, to test it.
  25. Naw, you probably were wearing a maxi-pad instead of a mini. Gotta go with the Mini-pads for extra sensitivity.
