What size was the drum?

In real life there are labels for a reason for everything.

Flipping is a lot different than pitching. Flipping is easily done sitting or standing, basic get your bait where you want it as if you were using a cane pole but with the line in hand for adjustments. Pitching is done standing, mostly bass boat. Lure in hand at first, precise underarm casting.

Never said I was. I'm not the one advocating changes to benefit myself, or lead people to think they know whats best for the resource. Constantly trying to arm chair quarterback MDC's job for them. The point is, constant complaining about something not in your control, most likely means it will never be good enough for you.

Forget the torque wrench. If unsure, just put a 1/4 inch drive ratchet on with adapter and get em tight.

Fish are a renewable resource, they are there to harvest like deer. You want to use the resource how you seem fit, catch and release hundreds with hook wounds, but frown on harvest. You want everyone to use the resource the same way you do, for pleasure only. The end result, after more regulations, you hope for bigger fish to look cool. There are already many restrictions and special zones for big fish pictures. what's next,a special members only creek to float when there's too much general public fishing smallmouth waters?

Gigging a bass is illegal. Catching and keeping a legal size bass is legal. I have no problems trying to stop poaching, I'm glad some of you are trying to bring attention to this problem. Trying to change regulations on rod and reel fishermen to compensate for poaching problems is not cool.

Let's just ignore the lawbreaker and put more regulations on the majority of fishermen, that makes a lot of sense.

Nice one with the fly rod!

That's what those concrete ramps are good for. I counted 14 vehicles last week at that access.

I have never seen as many people C&K on the rivers as I have this year. It is just nuts! They are out in droves it seems. I blame Facebook
