I understand that Mitch! I have been on a old movies kick and have been looking at old reboots. For example I like Fredric March as Mr Hyde more so than Spencer Tracy. I still haven't seen John Barrymore's version.

A quote for a quote. Et tu BH? Looks good though☺!

Ok last one (at least for now) My dad has a heart of a lion and a lifetime ban from the zoo!

Jackie and Livie have been watching dad joke battles. So they have just been spouting one after another. My friend died after drinking vanish. The end was terrible but the finish was fantastic. Statistics show that 6 out of 7 dwarves are not Happy. Why is Peter Pan always flying? Because he Never lands! What did one twin say to the other? There is not enough womb in here for the both of us. What is at the bottom of the ocean and shivers? A nervous wreck!

There are just some movies that need to be seen in the theater. Star Wars movies are definites. With the throwback soundtrack and kitschy dialog we actually enjoyed the guardians movies. Though the second drug along at times. Horror movies are always good in the theater but my wife won't go with me. Last one I saw was Lights Out and I went with Livie.

Why do scuba divers fall backwards out of the boat into the water. If they fell forward they would still be in the boat. What do you call a can opener that doesn't work? A cantopener! What did Mario say when he broke up with Princess Pea? It's not you it's Mia Mario!

More dad jokes: To the man in the wheelchair that stole my camouflage jacket..you may hide but you can't run. How did the pasta start his joke? Gnocchi gnocchi... Did you hear about the guy that stole calendars? He got twelve months. Why didn't the toilet paper roll across the road? It got stuck in a crack. A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says I will serve you but don't start anything.

Yeah the only thing that I would disagree is the Hobby statement☺! This is a great site with a lot of great guys sharing what they can about our OBSESSION that is fishing of all ways shapes and sizes. My daughter and I just got back from a trip to Arkansas to fish with a fellow OAF member. We had a great time and I really doubt that either her or I would have had a chance to fish with Ham had it not been for Phil setting up this site. You all know that I will be posting about the fish we caught or lost at the boat that I will have to apologize for at least until someone gets her a hands on carp photo☺! Hopefully other members will learn something from these posts or may be just get inspired to get out and fish and share their successes or near successes!

Definitely some footballs. Thanks for posting this gallery of dream smallies! Some great variety of color patterns.

Nobody wants to think that you are fishing bait if there is a red wiggler in the water .

Ham - I appreciate your thoughts. I have enjoyed all of the times that I had the privilege to fish with you. I have caught many fish, some were/are my personal bests for particular species, learned a lot and have had some of my obsessions validated. I don't ever feel that I am contributing as much as you do on those trips. I appreciate your willingness to keep putting up with me on at least a couple more trips .

BH - Still like one or two of the tigers. The cuts on these fish were really vibrant. They are definitely a 1B with that first tiger as 1A on my list of favorites! I wonder if you could cast well enough while treading water? That bolete was huge!

BH those tiger trout were fantastic to see in all of their glory! Only thing that mught have made them better would be underwater photos. You'll have to convince the Mrs that you will need an underwater camera to satisfy your throng of Billethead adventure followers☺! Did they ever find that guy?

Can't blame him for trying! I would have eaten that swimbait☺!

I don't have any photos, but on our honeymoon I caught a 2 1/2 inch smallmouth on a 2 inch mepps spinner. My wife will always tell me that she caught more fish that day (which she did but all sunfish and yellow perch) and I always counter that I caught the only bass☺!

SIO3 - Congrats on your 4000th post! I'm at 1750 and MY wife wonders what I do with my time!

What's another great looking fish or beautiful scenery. I've been following this just for the food photos☺! This is the what's cooking thread isn't it?

Check the Leaderboard buddy. Even though you two just keep catching trout, you're making good progress with your Utah adventures☺!

Congratulations for both of you two completing the Utah Slam, but all these cutthroats are starting to look the same. Can't wait to see something different, maybe a chub, a cisco, or a whitefish!

BH - You definitely have the better deal than the Mrs. ! Of course you keep her in flies, yard carp, and carnitas with lots of cilantro ! Maybe that's a fair trade if you throw in the dog.

Congrats! That is a great looking gar!

OTF - great photos of the Current. I haven't been to a couple of those spots. So that creates the yearn to explore those watersheds more fully. Thanks!

I find that creek fish tend to be far more aggressive. Maybe do the competition in a relatively small pool. I love it when fishing topwater and you see multiple wakes heading for your bait. Just got to keep telling yourself.. wait for the tug.. wait for the tug!

I picked up some body glove wading shoes at Academy. They cinch down nicely and keep out the sand and gravel. They would be good for short portages or getting out of a boat to fish a gravel bar. They don't have the soles for rough walking on coarse chunk rock.

I agree with BH and N9BOW that Ham gives more than he gets back. Always willing to put guys on fish. And I do politely disagree with Ham. He is the man on that water! Great post guys and a great day on the water!
