They look even more strange when they "walk" along the bottom.

JF #90 Northern searobin, Prionotus carolinus Went salty today targeting ses bass. Nice by-catch.

That Dutch oven and lid looks great. I have a Wagner ware 8 chicken fryer but no lid. That glass lid is pretty cool. I'd like one of your Griswold #6 skillets. I'll text you to figure out how to get the exchange to happen.

What a hero! He is so brave!

Maybe need some of these in order to actually get some ripe tomatoes.🤣

Can't believe that it took this long for you to land a common carp. Congrats!

Jealous of that guy. Congrats!

Is that to keep them from marrying outside of their own families? "If she ain't good enough for her own family she ain't good enough for ours 🤣!"

The article states "The eagle flew away after drowning the fawn and dragging it to shore. The raptor returned to feed on the deer over the next four days until the only thing left was tufts of hair."

No his mom became burger.

I know how much you love getting them in the E tank and didn't think there would be any cruddy ones but had to ask 😁

Sounds like a decent day with nothing to complain about! Keep putting her on fish and netting them up.

Marty could you post a photo of a #6 and #8 for size comparison? I don't think that I have seen a #6 and don't have a good feel for how different it would be. Do you have any that have not been refurbished?

I hope that you can get your boy a trout. I don't know what the conditions are like in that area. That is where you go and get the scoop from the Lilley's folks or the guy Phil suggested. I'll let you know what works for us when fishing for urban trout and I suspect will work there.. I'm assuming not much current in that area and think there would be similar conditions to those city lakes. I would suggest to use these bait techniques if you plan on keeping fish. It's too easy to gut hook the fish.We use #18 or #20 treble hooks. We would use #2 or #4 line. Add one or two BB sized split shot about 1/16 to 1/8 oz about 4 to 6 inches above the hook. Just enough distance so the bait is above the weeds. For powerdough bait, go with floating. Typically orange, yellow, pink all work well. You want to just cover the hook with a ball of doughbait. Doesn't need to be the size of a grape but more like one to two kernels of corn. Gulp eggs can be used as well with this set up. I like white and purple, orange, or yellow eggs. They compress well so put one on each hook. Cast out to any structure you can see. I like to keep the rod at a shallow angle or if on those docks lay it on the dock. If laying on the dock, don't lay the rod pointing towards the bait, but on an angle think of the rod tip at two o'clock. That position should help you detect light bites. This hook and sinker setup would work if using a float but move the sinkers closer to the hooks and use fewer gulp eggs or doughbait. If float fishing, redworms will work but will also get bit by any panfish around. Microjigs under a float should work as well. Usually if there is little water movement you would want to cast out and let the jig fall and sit, then reel in slightly, then stop and let it fall and sit..repeat. Mix up the speed of the retrieve or add more aggressive twitches until you find something that works. Maybe these techniques will work for you. Again talk to locals on what works in that area.

We used to get a pulse early then none throughout May and June then a pulse again in JulyAug until they migrated south in Sept/Oct. I always attributed that to not having good nesting cover on our property and they simply were not around. Though we always had at least one male the whole season. We never had the hummer load that you guys have in Billetheadville.

Bob has been having terrible headaches for years and finally decided to go to the doctor to figure out what is wrong. After several tests the doctor calls Bob in for his diagnosis. "Bob" says the doctor. "I have figured out the issue and with surgery we can cure you." "What needs to happen?" "It will require castration." "What...?!?" "You're testicles are pressing upon the base of your spinal column and that pressure is what is creating those terrible headaches. By removing your testicles the pressure will be alleviated and no more headaches. I'll give you some time to think about it and we can discuss it further." Bob thinks about it and decides that he will go through with the operation because he just cannot take those headaches any longer. After his recovery, he is ecstatic that the operation worked. He no longer had any headaches. As he was headed home from the hospital he felt better than he has felt in a long long time, but that he was missing an important part of himself. As he walked down the street, he felt like a different person. It was like he had a new lease on life. As he passed a men's clothing store, he decided that he would get a new suit to go with his new life. He tells the tailor that he wanted a new suit. The tailor looks at him and without taking any measurements says "You look to be a 44 long." That's right laughed Bob. How did you know? I've been in this businees for 60 years and am good at my job says the tailor. Bob tried on the suit and it fit perfectly. As bob admired himself in the mirror the tailor asked "Would you like a new shirt to go with that suit?" Bob thought for a moment and said that yes he would like a new shirt. The tailor eyed Bob and said "Let's see, 34 sleeves and 16-1/2 neck" as he handed a shirt to Bob. Bob was surprised, "That's right, how did you know?" "Been in this business 60 years," quipped the tailor. Bob tried on the shirt and it fit perfectly. Bob walked comfortably around the shop and the tailor asked if he wanted some new underwear. "you look like a size 36." "A 36!" said Bob. "No you're wrong there. I wear a size 32 and have been for many years." The tailor shook his head and said, "You can't be wearing a size 32. If you did, your underwear would have pressed your testicles against the base of your spine which would have given you terrible headaches!"

That photo should make @snagged in outlet 3 run for the restroom 🤣. Looks awesome to me though. I may have to try to convince my wife that I need to fly out to StL to fish for a day to get on some of those species that you are just beating on. We are having some issues in Columbia that may require a trip. So just maybe...

I agree about the work involved, or for you and I know for me the "labor of Love" needed to rejuvenate this old iron. We have foam pads between our skillets. However, we also have way less that what is found in the Billetheadville vaults😉

Congrats on a couple of nice smallies @Quillback!

What came first - the cast iron or the felt?

Nature isn't like its portrayed in Bambi. Very cool video.

Very neat little boat @Daryk Campbell Sr. Looks functional but big question has it been christened with some fish slime?

Estrogenic compounds will lead to high levels of feminization or intersex development in male fish. That is the development of oocyte tissues within the testis. Diminishes their ability to spawn effectively thus ultimately affecting population recruitment. Still the highest level of estrogenic release into the environment comes from birth control and hormone replacement therapy in women.
