    Nice; I have not either. I want them to grow to striper size! Mike

    They put in stripers 4 years ago....this is the first year they are over 20”. Leave a few for the rest of us.....😉 Mike

    Nice ride! Last time I was on Stockton we had a meal of big gills caught while bouncing as well; delicious! They are not far behind walleye in the table fare department... Mike

    I am the same most of the time. Exception would be long lining cranks on LOZ during the day; too much traffic/noise for it to matter. Mike

    I have driven through Baxter Springs on 166 many times and they have signs at the city limits announcing it to be the Home of Hale Irwin; I think he grew up in that area and later moved on to the city in his playing years. Mike

    Hale baby. From down south KS way, I believe Baxter Springs? Mike

    The Chants are certainly up, been the best year for size and numbers for me in a while - I have been bringing home a sack every time I have been in the woods working up my bow stands in recent weeks. Have seen lots of other varieties(bolete, corals, etc.)but I am content with the Chanterelles this year. Mike

    Those look like fish catchers to me! Nice! Mike

    Depends on what you are hunting and the amount/type of shot you are feeding it. Like JD said you need to experiment and pattern it. My experience is many(including me) try too tight of tubes for the application, particularly with heavy shot charges or plated or steel shot - the standard chokes should do fine. If you go to meat shoots or want to hunt turkey with 2 3/4 loads would be the time I’d think about an XFull or custom tube. Mike

    I agree you get what you pay for. Love my Silver Sonics but I don’t believe they are still in production. Equally important are wading boots....for all out comfort I normally wear Soft Science Terrafins but switch to a lug soled boot if I am going to be scaling steep or muddy banks. Mike

    I have been stopped numerous times and never had any issue - did have one follow me home from Millstone back in the day after a day of drinking on the lake - I guess he wanted to confirm I was coherent and aware and I’d bet he’d have hauled me in if I wasn’t. That was the old days though. I have not been stopped recently, too much low hanging fruit on the water these days - I am an old guy following the rules safely. There, now I have almost assured myself a stop next time out....🙄 Mike

    Occupational hazard. I do my best not to squeeze while removing hooks and hold over the WATER as much as possible. I guess a guy could cut his line without bringing aboard... Mike

    They get feisty once they see the boat... Mike

    Nice load out. InReach works great; have used in the CO mountains and N Ontario with no problems - nice to be able to check in at home and still enjoy wilderness. Looks like fun! Mike

    Over the last 40 years in the N half of Missouri anyway. Been in the since I was a kid and never saw bobcats(when I was a kid they were protected) until recent times. Or Armadillos. They are getting thicker by the year. Did call in a lion turkey hunting in some rough country along the Osage outside Linn 20 years ago; was told I must be mistaken. Not hardly. Mike

    I used to do exactly the same; had cages full of snakes caught wild in the basement. 2 4’ lengths of 1/4” rebar with a 6” “L” on one end pinned poisonous snakes down as you worked up to the head so you could grab them , make ‘em dizzy, and toss them in a gunny sack and tie it off. Had a couple get loose in the basement one time...that was interesting. I quit keeping venomous snakes after that. I have wondered with the spread north of bobcats and ‘dillos whether cottonmouths and other snakes have done the same...my guess would be that is a strong probability. Mike

    Hang in there; glad to hear you will be OK. Agree with others that this dude should go away. Mike

    ...and that is just the starter kit! 😂 Mike

    Was at the parade of astronauts Saturday in Cocoa Beach celebrating that event, my 4 year old grandson loved it. Al Worden came by in a convertible vet sitting on the trunk and I told my wife that’s because his cojones were too big to fit in the rear seat of that little car 😂. Mike

    Prolly have the right idea. They have been pulling a lot of water so the current usually positions the fish and I would start looking around with that in mind. Mike

    Same rod, I have field tested to confirm - just different color and no longer Browning marketed. I don’t know if they would prorate an older one. I had never had a rod break like that(snapped below ferrule) but I really love the UL action for working small stickbaits and jigs. Mike
  23. nomolites
    Don’t know how old the rod was - inside of 12 months BPS will replace the Airstream no questions asked; I had mine break in Canada setting the hook on a walleye and traded for one of the new red ones( they have retaken the label from Browning and changed the color). Mike

    Agree with Wrench, 15 and 20 are not the same and 20 is a good day and then some. I have to agree with Mark also that the lower end regularly produces 20# sacks, but of drum and blue cats only, there are no LMB in that deep clear water 🙄. Mike
  25. nomolites
    Like any class of rods not all ULs are created equal...I tend to agree some buggy whips have no place in fishing for larger/stronger fish. There are many ULs that have fast action tips with enough spine when paired with a good reel you can routinely catch large fish quickly and safely. I have seen others that are so limp they could not turn an average size bluegill..... Mike
