How not to use a pistol. The story goes on to say that the person that was shot, was shot in the leg and will survive. KENOSHA, Wis. (NEXSTAR) – A Wisconsin woman accidentally shot a friend while using the laser sight on a handgun to play with a cat, authorities said. A criminal complaint charging the 19-year-old woman with negligent use of a weapon said she was visiting a Kenosha apartment on Tuesday afternoon where a 21-year-old man had brought a handgun. The woman, who a witness said had been drinking, picked up the handgun, “turned on the laser sight and was pointing it at the floor to get the cat to chase it,” when the gun went off, the complaint filed Thursday said.

That's a great morning (except for the TM).

Good advice. I like shooting pistols for fun, but I don't see myself shooting someone. So far in life I have made it without being in a situation where I had to shoot someone.

Seems like they were getting something like 15 cents a pound for carp and buffalo, you have to catch a lot of fish to make any money at that rate. Now I may be remembering wrong, but it wasn't much that they were getting.

There sticky holsters work well if you are considering carrying in something like a cargo pants pocket. Pistol pulls out easily, holster remains in your pocket. https://stickyholsters.com/

Still Commercial fishermen netting the river up there. Some of you might have seen the series bottom feeders. Bottom Feeders - Scenes (outdoorchannel.com) I saw a few episodes of that show, seems they always had a hard time getting enough fish to make it worthwhile.

First I have seen or heard of one in TR.

Here's a recent quote from JW on the electronics: "The biggest thing was Lowrance Active Target. This year I swapped from Garmin [LiveScope] to Active Target. I would jump in the boat with Hunter Shryock last fall and saw some things I thought were better than Garmin – that's why I swapped. > "I feel like I can see fish further with Active Target. I can see fish 100+ feet away from me – that's a huge deal when you're talking about 1-2 more fish, especially 3+ lb smallmouth. For isolated fish like that it was a huge deal. > "...Active Target 98% of time and [Humminbird Mega] 360 the other 2%...."

You guys keep this walleye talk up and it will get me heading over to the bait shop to get some worms. I rather get some bull gills on the worms, getting an eye or two would be a bonus.

Cool, hope you can make it. I'll get a food thread going in a bit, thought I would wait until we get inside 2 months before starting that one.

I haven't been myself in a while, but was thinking along the same lines, jigs and drop shot deep. I'll be very interested to hear how you do.

All those schools of 8 lbers swimming in Beardsley would finish off 50,000 fingerlings in a flash.

That's pretty neat, hope one of those 30 lbers pays you a visit.

Nice one!

Didn't know they now do ankle replacements. One of mine is a little messed up, not so bad that I'd want a replacement (yet).

I read somewhere that the operation is financed by some billionaire as a kind of fun science project thing.

That is one thing I have noticed watching the pro's, they can break some rods. I'm speculating that it is because they all seem to use braid and that stuff is unforgiving.

Wheeler does it again. I wish there would've been a couple of guys that were close at the end just for the competitiveness of a close finish, this was a bit of a snoozer.

Wheeler is building a solid lead.

Well here is what I got today in a pop-up. Has Billethead written all over it. @BilletHead Of course, Marty could make his own coyote hat, which would beat paying the $429 Cabelas price tag.

Did you fish with a guide, or was it a do it yourself deal?

I would be interested to hear how your salmon fishing turns out. Hopefully you all get into them!

I would not count out Ott DeFoe in this one either.

Caught a few in New England years ago and never anywhere near that big. One of my buddies had a Portuguese grandfather that used to fish the Charles river for them. He and his buddies from the old country would fish for them late in the fall at night and did quite well. Eel is a traditional Portuguese Christmas time meal, at least that's the way I remember it.
