Oh you and I agree. But I could not convince that director that day. After that I kept a copy of the code with me and mailed another copy to this guide.

Sorry Al, he sounds like he was a great man to know.

Intent should have nothing to do with it. Whether you meant to snag it or not it should be illegal to possess it. It's really pretty simple. This is a sore subject for me because I got burned in a tournament with this. A guy that admitted that he had "accidentally" snagged a 6 pound fish was allowed to weigh it in because he did not purposely snag it. He won the tournament and big bass. Even several protests filed with the tournament director were ignored. I was one of the ones that protested and the director knew it was wrong and would not make the call. He told me that it was my call. That was so wrong to me, I was just a guy fishing, why was he allowing me to make the call on whether or not I got a check. I told him he was a POS and went home. And this was no ordinary 6 pound Table Rock bass. It was half dead with sores all over it and blind in both eyes. I had seen it earlier in the day and actually netted it and put it in the boat just to look at. So we knew that fish when it showed up on the scales with the snagging story. Found out later that the guys that weighed the fish was a client of the Tournament Director who happens to be a well known guide on Table Rock. If a fish is snagged you need to be a decent human and put it back.

You want me to send you some more? I just switched to Vibrams and I don't seem any more clumsy in them than felt.

it should be classified as a soap opera. 100% fake, scripted, crap that is mildly entertaining.

I thought I was a liar because I am married?

I remember my first snagless sallys. I loved those things.

That should do it Geoff. Really nice flies.

I think my pond choices are all frozen solid. Can't wait for some 70 degree days.

You've had 8 years.

But when a guy reaches three quarters of a century he deserves a little attention. So everybody wish Wayne SW/MO a happy birthday. He's old as hell but still a lot of fun to float down the river with. If you haven't had the chance then you've missed out. Have a great day Wayne, let me know when Nurse Ratchet gives you clearance.

Consider it a cleanser.

Geez Old Plug. You gotta calm down and quit taking everything so literal. I grew up fishing farm ponds in southern Oklahoma. They are nothing like the little pools of water around here.

Well you are wrong.

This. Best pond lure ever created.

Ralph Cox access is the public access just across from JRO in Galena. Not the same as the private Cox access above Kerr.

Me too, but mine is reversed. I'd rather hear the sounds of nature than a baseball game anytime.

One is all I need.

That's awesome. I need to get a couple of my girls down there.

I've read a lot of good things about them. I'd like to have a 686 in white but those are some pricey blanks. I'm not saying they are not worth it but I think I should build my first rod on a less expensive option.

I think it would work just fine but if there is a problem it's going to be very difficult to remove.

Or some peach cobbler after dinner.

This is the most pointless conversation on the internet.

Mitch can I come play with your toys? That's some cool stuff.

Hey Mic I forgot to tag my flies. So these are mine. Odd color for a frog I know, but they like them. Hook: 3366 #6 Body: White and Black craft foam. Legs: White and Black rubber legs. Eyes: CCG 6mm Tempt
