Good point, request retracted.

Oh Cool, free readings? Do Me Do Me!

Sounds like they need a joint and an assault rifle.

The only thing about marijuana that will kill you is the prison food. LOL

The lighter the better.... as long as it has enough power to get the job done, is what I would want on a shallow rocky river. Here are my thoughts; The prop shaft, drive shaft and gear housing on a 6hp is just as strong as the ones on the heavier 9.9-15, and some 20's and props are a bit less expensive for the 6. Theoretically that should result in less damage when/if you hit something. And you invariably will.

Marijuana isn't soley useful for smoking either.... still illegal to possess.

There was a time when a 6-7.5 hp was the popular motor of choice for the White. Has that changed?

There is a bit more to assault rifles than looks and magazine capacity, and I'm surprised that y'all don't know that. The biggie is in the way they are designed to dissipate heat and deal with wet and/or gritty conditions and keep fuctioning at a rapid fire pace. You can slap a 30 round clip in a BAR or a ADL all ya want....but chances are it will freeze up on you before you empty the magazine if you squeeze them off rapid fire without a cooling down period.

I don't think it's where they are made as much as where they originated from..... I'm out on a limb here but I think it is safe to assume that the development didn't begin as a thought that came to someones mind while in a tree stand, a duck blind, or at a target range. For someone to pretend that they just can't understand why some people see assault type rifles in a different classification than sporting guns is pretty lame. Everyone, especially the folks that own or want to own them, know darn well why.

Old fire hose attached in loops. Lasts forever.

The bottom 10" of water in a 3' deep fast riffle can be a killer holding area. One such spot on the lower Niangua holds smallies consistently. Stand at the top and hold a #2 Flash-dancer in the current, twitching it occasionally ....and they'll dart up off the bottom and cream it.

Nice! There ya go.

Probably be ok for a guide but I wouldn't use it for bunks unless your supports are fairly close together.

Rule #1. There are no rules.

Never been into trolling myself but I've rigged out several nice boats for the purpose. The one I am most proud of was a 18' Lund deep V with a 115 Johnson/ and 9.9 long shaft kicker with sandwiched control boxes and steering link. 24v Auto pilot TM on the bow and 5 seat pedestal positions. On a Roller trailer with remote controlled 12v winch. Everyone that fishes out of that boat absolutely loves it. Comfortable, roomy, stylish, and can handle any kinda water from the gulf to the great lakes.

I know that look...

Another trip sans pup. How do you even sleep at night?

Y'all are killin' me with all this kinda talk. I hope we get some big rain events this Spring.

They must not be, because I don't know of a single person making a decent living giving them.

Just wanted to capture that quote for future points

There's never been any probate court deciding who got what after any death in my family. If whatshisface's mom had died in a car crash a week earlier I'm sure the guns would have been his and/or his brothers. Right along with the house, cars, and cooking utensils. And yeah I agree, a person convicted of writing multiple bad checks can be a felon.... yet they obviously drew their own personal line at robbing at gunpoint for money. They could have done way worse than write a bad check if they needed money....but obviously they didn't. So after their debt to society is paid they should not be restricted from owning a firearm IMO.

Dictating who can or cannot possess a firearm is pointless. After Adam Lanza's mom was dead WHO owned the guns? Adam Lanza did. When someone who is "perfectly sane and authorized to possess guns" passes away, which government entity is gonna swoop in and decide what happens to their gun collection? You either have to allow firearms or not, period. The whole BS of this guy can... but that guy can't is just flippin' insane.

This is bullspit! Maybe if some of these "accidents" were charged as unlawful use of a firearm people would take a second to BE SURE that a gun isn't loaded, or that all guns are treated like they are at all times like you're supposed to. None of the CCW incidents (accidental discharge) go on record because they are all considered accidents. That is wrong. To shoot someone whether intentional or not should be a crime and the details sorted out in court, regardless of the circumstances. Drunk driving fatalities and drug addiction/overdose are "accidents" too, if you choose to look at it THAT way.

You can also cut the collars off with a pair of side cutters.

There remains a slight misconception about which streams produce and can maintain better sized smallies. The mass of the studying, monitoring, and overall attention is (can I say... wasted) on pretty clear water streams where nobody has to step in gooey ol'mud. Ya know, streams that look like trout water and would be if the water was just a tad bit cooler during the Summer. I see/catch smaller average Smallmouth in the "Ozarks" as a full grown experienced and well geared angler than I did as a kid just a few miles further North in streams/rivers that aren't even considered Smallmouth water by most everyone that is hung up on this whole "Ozark stream" atmosphere thing. Big smallies do live in pretty places.... but if you ever stray a bit past that "Ozark" line you might find out that a place suddenly gets alot prettier after a few fat and healthy smallies are caught there. Ya know .... that part of Missouri where the only thing that gets gigged is bullfrogs.
