I had to look that one up Mitch. Had me stumped.

Very true. I heard the song the other day and couldn't get the Ozempic lyrics out of my head.

Season in the Sun by Terry Jacks - Must have been a really a depressing guy🤔

Here's probably an even more obscure hint. The B side of the forty-five for this song was one titled "Put the Bone In" about a dog that was hit by a car.

Reminds me of a story from my grad school days. I was helping one of the other grad students that was doing a live trapping study of small mammals in a couple of different ecosystems. To mark the animals we would clip off a toe starting with the pinky toe on the left fore paw, then the next toe to the right, etc for each new animal. That way we could recognize the ones that have been captured previously and we could estimate the population from the number caught vs the number recaptured. For the mice and shrews we would just hold them by the scruff of the neck while we clipped that toe. For chipmunks we would put them in a ziploc bag (not fully closed). I would grab its tail and secure the head before cutting a small hole in the bag to pull out a foot for toe clipping. Compared to the mice those guys were wild and much larger. One of them tore its way out of the bag before we could clip it's toe. The researcher was distraught since we might not be able to id that same animal if it was recaptured. I said that she didn't need to worry since I was still holding it tail in the bag 😅😉. I did end up catching that guy at least one more time that summer. We did have a juvenile white-footed mouse that after he gave up the toe, we would catch him again each week of the study. One time we let him go and soon after heard another trap shut. We got over to that trap and there he was holding and eating a piece of oat meal with his little toe stump for us to see. We wanted to minimize the possible time in the traps. We would set them in the evening and then check them at first light. Most of the time we did not use a flashlight. There were a number of bears in the area and we found an active bear wallow and trails close to her study area. Often times in the morning there would be a thick fog. When we would get near the area with the bear wallow, there was a doe that would wait and blow just as we got there. She did that many times and we responded with a startled response everytime she did 🙄. I swear she did it just to get our response.

I throw out one. Here is the lyrics to start. You might jet the song but can you name the artist? "But the stars we could reach were just starfish on the Beach."

I DM'ed my answer John

I bet the bowfin, grass carp and gar would hammer cicada flies. I remember when there was a big cicada hatch just raising some giant trout in skinny water during the day and catching bluegill on every cast until we got tired of reeling.

Did you catch it on a fly😆

I still have most of those albums at the house😁

I'm a few years younger. So I would listen to my dad's Three Dog Night, America, and Credence albums😁. Then throw in some Everly Brothers and Bobby Goldsboro. Cher apparently was my dad's guilty pleasure music. Gypsy's tramps and thieves😉. All the men would come around and throw their money down!

Thanks Jeff!! Glad that you guys got out after them.

This is for @snagged in outlet 3. Didn't want him to think that this didn't happen without a photo😉

I would have thought that he had castor bean or datura plants. I have a bonsai miniature shefflera arboricola. I had it for close to 20 yrs.

Good luck @Quillback and @Dutch! Can't wait to see your report😉

What a great day Pete! Those are some great looking fish. Glad you took photos!😁

I'm looking forward to this as well. I enjoyed my time spent fishing Crane Creek. It's a great little creek and a cool fishery.

@snagged in outlet 3 and @netboy those are pretty and big trout! Looks like a great time. Hope that you can get out a few more times while the bite is hot.

Agreed. Also they will slime all over your line😒. They fight hard but can be a pain to handle. I have used that rig for blue cats here in MD as well as sharks and rays from the beach. The little guys, e.g., madtoms, don't get too messy. Just have to be careful since they do have venom that can give you a nice sting or burn if you get scratched or stuck with those pectoral fins.

You know that those bullhead will always bite 😉. I would hate to be small and fall into that pond anywhere near those black bullheads.

Haven't they tried to kick you out from fishing that location 😉😆

Nice smallies Jeff!

Like trophy fees for those pesky life lister folks, which mangers can use to secure more habitat 🤣. @FishnDave they are a similar size to a sheepshead minnow and will take a tanago hook😉.

You wouldn't happen to want to send me a text with that location? Asking for a friend😉😁

I have caught a lot of those green trout, aka bass with the Spittin image over the years. That was/is still one of my favorite top water WTD style baits. One year I was trying to catch all of the nine (at the time) black bass species. I caught largemouth, smallmouth, coosa redeye and shoal bass all on the same Spittin Image bait in 2013. Ended up breaking it off on a snag in the Ocmulgee River in GA. Couple of the smallmouth from Missouri One of three coosa redeye bass. My shoal bass from Ocmulgee river north of Macon GA. Where I lost that Spittin Image 😒
