Bruised ribs can be worse. I had a sudden burst of intense pain 3 days after an incident that caused bruising and slow swelling. Thought I was having a heart attack. I had to sleep in a bathtub for days just to get some slight relief😂. The Docs said it would of been better if they had cracked and relieved some pressure...

That's awesome.

Sounds fun. She accept bad checks?

I've been fighting the urge to use the BFS bait caster/ rod that I've become quite fond of in these trout trophy areas around here. I brought it with last time and left it in the truck and casted my streamer rod about 500 times instead. Caught 3. I also have a pile of little Japanese lures that I stared at before packing up last time at four in the morning. I feel like if it works well I'm never gonna go back ha ha. I often use flies in areas that don't ever see them and do well with bass, catfish and crappie and what not. I feel like this would be the same for the trout and these Japanese lures....

I gave up on collecting the old imperfect wiggle warts. Prices are too crazy now. Those Spro Rock Crawler 55s work well in every color I've used so far but one...

lol I looked for 2 hours and forgot about Wally World. That's it!. The one I used was good at least. With mass production lures I'm guessing I should buy five to increase my chances of finding a good'n heh. Thanks!

I found this lure a while back. I put new hooks on it and it turned out to be an absolute fish catcher. I put the red paint on it under the eyes. I have no idea what it is. There's a bunch of look-alikes. It sinks relatively fast doesn't have very good action, but give it a twitch and they hammer it. I used it recently and caught a bunch of huge bluegill crappy at a neglected farm pond and huge bass came up and smacked it while I was pulling it out of the water wrapped around a branch and broke me off. The color is slightly purple, even though it looks gray in the pictures. I estimated to be about 2 1/4 inches or between 55 and 60 mm.

Thing is sweet.

I had an old timer tell me when I moved up to the mountain that if I ever have the hairs on the back of my neck or my arms stand up and I don't know why it's because a mountain lion is following me. That never happened but I did sense a bear following me once when I was by myself. I was fishing at my buddy's cabin and he called and asked if I would walk down the road and unlock the gate for him since I had the key. I headed down the logging road/driveway and I felt I was being followed. l had stopped numerous times to look back and listen and and when I didn't see anything I had almost convinced myself that I was hallucinating. I walked on for a bit then stopped again and sat down perfectly still for about five minutes looking up at this ridgeline above the road cut. I'll never forget how that bear silently poked his head out from behind the tree he was hiding behind. I took off down the hill and never stopped until I made it to my friend's truck. Huge for a black bear.

I lived in the northwest for a long time. The first one I ever saw was creeping through the open field adjoining my property to our neighbors parcel. My brain really couldn't recognize what it was because I was used to seeing all these little black tail deer and it looked about the same size and color in the tall grass. Took me a few seconds of staring at it to realize it wasn't a wounded deer. It was a giant cat. My neighbor was well-known to shoot about 5-10 coyotes a year to try to keep it better for the deer and turkey to grow. I told him about it and the next day he rode his ATV over and asked for my help to come track a mountain lion. He and his wife and thier two month old baby were out at the cabin. His dog started barking at the door and he opened it up and he said the lion was about 30 yards out from his door, staring directly at him. He had a new Bowtech set-up that he had just sighted in for dear/bear season. He said the lion started coming at them either because the dog barking or the baby crying and he buried a broadhead directly in the middle of its chest from inside the front door. We looked for that thing for two days and never found it. Had lots of black bear problems up there too, but those problems were due to the bears breaking into things and destroying things. Not messing with people, they would always run away.
