I know, Wrench.. Right? Almost as bad as the fear of an empty glass..

Anybody got a measuring tape?

Understood.. (I have a "better half" too) how wide is your John?

Wow, sounds like you just got it all set up, why the sale? Decided you "like to fly fish"? lol Seriously, sounds nice.. Got any pictures you can post?

"Uhm, I was told there would be no test" Patfish Nice photo...

Me too.. Especially when I noticed the two people who'd responded thusfar.. LOL looks like Wtench just about covered it though, IMO...

I say this is genius! But bear in mind: The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.

"Look kids, it's Big Ben! And Parliment!"

Naw, what's the fun in that? Better to follow the deceased equine, kicking it all the way to the glue factory.. What else do us elitist fly guys have to do on such a blustery day?

Bait chunker? Ragamuffin? Know it all? Money-bags? Loud mouth? Takes all kinds to make the world go round...

BY isn't that explained by opposing forces of wind on extremely blustery days? How do you get that in a body of water with no appreciable current? Any possibility you could find a video of one? I tried and couldn't seem to locate one... (or find a definition on Wiki, for that matter) Please note: this most certainly doesn't mean I don't believe you, I'm just from the show-me state...

Not if we don't let you on the tee box, mister! Now take your ratty shoes and your unkempt attire down to the municipal course where you belong! Cereally, I'm with you.. This thread is hilarious from start to finish.. SmallieBigs, I'm still waiting for you.. :taps_foot_impatiently: (my invite to you STILL stands, though my supersecret fishing hole has dried up for winter... )

I'd definitely be curious as to what's in his water bottle..

"Me thinks thou doth protest too much"

SamKam, that is by far the weirdest looking striper I have ever laid eyes on... Too bad it wasn't a walleye, that woulda been a dandy... Bwah ha ha!!! That was good....

Interesting......

River and creek bass respond a bit differently to the swimbait than pond/lake fish do, in my experience.. Then again, I don't have that nifty signature, soooo.....

Maybe you weren't holding your mouth right? (I'm sorry, that was uncalled for.. But I couldn't resist!)

Probably in a River. Most likely not the Current. (it's grabbin' seezon)

Shhhhhhhhhhhh, guys! Watch out, the "Thread Subject Nazi" will be all over you two, and then it's "no soup for you, one year!" lol :lurk:

Sounds like Ozarkians to me... Nowhere else in the Midwest do you have to actually concern yourself with being SHOT over trespassing laws/violations... (Cricket carefully sets his trap, makes a bag of popcorn... And waits...)

It's gettin' pretty easy here on the forums too, jah.... Prolly cause (as PT Barnum would say) "there's one born every minute!" Oh, uh, the topic: Try a crawdad pattern, I hear them trout like crawdads... That or an olive Woolie bugger slipped along the bottom?

I'm fresh out, Greg! (besides, I've this thread has comedic sattire that hasn't even been noticed yet! Did you see post #12?) However, I did think it was funny, when I read: I can't help but envision myself!!! ( standing next to a hole on the Niangua, fly rod in hand... I still require a good 20-40 feet of "safety distance" when casting.. If I wanted to "fish out my swing" I would need an entire section of river to myself! lol) Hint to the general group: If (for any reason) you were under the impression I was calling you a snob (or your style of fishing as being prone to snobbery), keep in mind that it's prolly all in your head! Snobs come in all shapes and sizes, just ask FlySmallie!

Hmm, maybe (in their off time) they pickup shifts as K-9 units? I could just see George hanging out the back window of a cop car, sniffing the teenage passers-by... lol
