Bass, crappie, walleye, musky. Need a permit to put your boat on it. Max horsepower 40.

Will you pay to have them installed and balanced??

I understand that. Another good reason for you to stick to a 10 footer.

I've seen some guys that love that wheel. At least it offers some protection when dragging. I don't mind dragging mine through some gravel or sand but some of these parking lots and ramps would quickly destroy it. But it wouldn't be a deal breaker either way. Most of the SOTs are heavy. Mine is like 77 lbs. and unruly to carry. But it floats my fatass down the river!!

I’ve heard the theory about them being from another dimension for a long time. I’ve also heard about them being from another planet and some people have claimed that UFO sightings have coincided with Bigfoot sightings. Cool idea on the book. I would drop Tarzan too. I read a book recently called Devolution by Max Brooks. Totally new take on Bigfoot. I think it would be interesting for you. It also involves a volcano. The creatures in the book are not friendly at all though.

Or the Ozarks Howler

Or the Blue Man of the Ozarks, “In the early spring of 1865, Blue Sol Collins was hunting on the divide between North Fork and Spring creek. A light snow had fallen the night before. The woodland seemed to be covered by a myriad of tracks — turkey tracks, deer tracks, rabbit, fox and coon tracks — big and little tracks — but most conspicuous were the tracks that resembled somewhat those of a bear. “Blue Sol was a hunter without fear, and believing the bigger the game the better the hunt, he followed the long broad tracks with the claw-like impression in soft snow. After following the trail for several hours over the North Fork, Indian and Spring Creek hills, Sol suddenly came upon the object of his search on the north slope of upper Twin mountain. Sol looked, jumped out of the path of several descending boulders and ran. He had seen an object unmistakably human, though strongly resembling a vicious animal, hurling huge boulders at him down the steep hillside.”

I saw one at breakfast.

I do?? Well come on big boy. It's got plenty of water in it right now. It would be much more fun when it's warmer but I'm sure we could find some anytime.

You need to fish more picturesque places than Taney. And they don't have to be trout.

10 seems too small to me for a fishing boat. One of my buddies has a 12. It seems like a good boat.

I take better ones when somebody is there to catch the fish.

Okay but they are real. They don't hide in the woods though. They are aliens. That's why one has never been found. They just fly away in their spaceship after visiting. Probably take a stringer of smallies with them when they go too.

Go fishing, catch fish, have fun. I win!! I've already done that twice.

NOBODY expected that ball to be snapped.

None of that matters. If they said they would honor it and now they won’t then they suck.

JFC it's even more creepy that you remember that.

Starting to act like Creepy Joe.

I can probably help you with that if you want to get them off there and on a flash drive or something. I have some computers around that will still read floppies.

It's not just their teeth that will destroy your line. I started using braid and it works just fine. They will destroy that marabou so make sure to take a bunch. And the spoon suggestion is a good one. Everything out there likes a spoon.

Those old guys were a different kind of tough.

He was a mama's boy.

One of the best smallmouth runs on the entire James River had a family of otters living on it. Seen them dozens of times over a couple of years and the fishing was always good. The only thing that ruined the spot was a flood that filled it in. Both the fish and otters left.

That’s a cool place.

I don’t think it did. Just shows that your are passionate about what you have going on.
