I have a 169 and can stand in it just fine. And I'm a large guy. I solo it all the time. Yep it's heavy. Yep it's not the fastest thing on the water. But it works and I can haul a lot of gear when I need to.

Yep. Watcha making?

That's easy. They don't have the intelligence to do anything real.

Didn't burst my bubble, I figured that's the BS response you would get. MCD = FAIL. Now if he would have called one of those fish a racial name we could have ruined his life.

No only does he look proud it looks like he's pretty good at it too. That must have come from years of practice. He doesn't need to lose his privileges for a couple of years, he needs to lose them for life. And pay a hefty fine.

Oneshot you are my hero!!

I think all of this is ignorant and part of the problem. It's not okay for me to use that word or a lot of other words. But it's okay for those people to use it and say whatever they want about white people. I'm tired of them always finding a way to make everything about racism. I really don't care what color you are. Makes no difference to me. You are either a good person or not. It's funny that this country will destroy a person's life over using a stupid word but we allow the Westboro Church idiots to stand outside a NASCAR race with children holding signs that say God hates fags. Nobody does anything about that. This country has some issues with respect.

Great stuff!

I like black with a single colorado blade. Used to be one that had a black blade as well that always fished well.

The margaritas calmed him down. Well sort of.

Thanks everyone, glad you enjoyed them. Thanks Pat. I'm just a big dumb animal floating down the river trying to capture the weirdness of it all. But you already knew that.

Spent a few days on the Big Piney with friends. It was a beautiful weekend.

I like them both.

Lighten up Francis. You can see a drop off of a bank. Might be the river, might be a ditch next to the parking lot, who knows. Great you are a beer snob too, guess that makes you more knowledgeable about where the guy was standing. The only one that is reading into it is you. That's where you made up your mind with no evidence. But I'm just jacking with you out of boredom. If you were really concerned by this atrocity you would be contacting the Mag directly and the authorities local to that river.

So how do you know that they were on the river? I don't see the river behind him. Maybe this was back at the truck. You don't have all the facts to make such accusations. You're not even sure that it's a glass bottle.

I was at the Gulf in Alabama the first part of the month and you still see clumps of oil washing ashore. Don't know if its still coming from the spill or from the numerous rigs just off shore.

Yes I have. Used to catch a lot on top water too when there was a lot of grass. There was an old guy that lived up there when I was running that lake and a buzzbait is all he ever fished. He would go out early and again late and just throw that buzzbait. I just think they work a lot better in that type of water. It's not like TR where they can see a spook moving from a mile away. They need something making noise to be able to hunt it down. When I have had success on topwater it was on something like a chugbug. You have to get their attention. Pomme de Terre is a lot different than Table Rock. You can't fish it the same and expect the same results.

Have fun Duane. Be safe up there.

Pomme is a much better buzzbait lake.

No it wasn't that. It was just horrible sound, horribly played, horribly performed. I guess everybody has a bad night. I've been to enough concerts from different genres to know what to expect. From small 30 person local bands to 100,000+ stadium shows. Some were good, some were bad, some were horrible (Alice in Chains). But the Allman Bros had an off night. I know they are better than that.

I saw the Allman Bros in concert. Worst show ever. But I do like their music.

You just don't know how to fish a lake.

Just heard an update of 11 inches in south Springfield.

Last I heard was 8 to 9 inches in south Springfield. Water over roads, water in houses, evacuations taking place.

But that's the American way.
