10' should work. I would go with a sit on top. Easier to get out and wade or drop a leg over and hold a foot on something to anchor. Sit on top gets you up higher to cast and see the fish. https://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/heritage-angler-10-10-ft-sit-on-top-angler-kayak#repChildCatid=5098536 I have two of these, one for me and the grandson. We are about the same build. Paddle great, stable, and can carry enough for a day on any stream or lake. Light weight and easy to portage or lift onto racks on a SUV.

Academy Sports has many good ones that are affordable. Get a 12' one at least. If you are a big guy, maybe longer.

Park it somewhere and forget? Need help finding it?

This just topped it.

Funniest thing I have came across today. As a kid, I wanted to play drums. I am a great Air Drummer, Rush will get me to beating a tune out on the steering wheel every time. Came across this today and thought of so many one liners. I am sure glad they have that Arts thing at the Campus that shaped my future. Its so organic?? Drum One, Drum All, Southeast to Host a Drum Circle.

All this from a guy with a wife that won't let him buy a real boat. Some where in time PW must have happened.

I just Carolina Rig them when in woody structure. Works good for me. Bass Pro Tender Tubes are softer and are pretty easy to bite thru but still stay weedless, snag free with a Carolina Rig. I rig a short Flourocarbon setup with a lead 1/4 oz bell sinker and a # 4 Gamakatsu hook. I miss a few but i get snagged less. Otherwise, I use a 1/4" lead head tube jig hook. Fishing rivers from the boat, we usually can work back up stream and release the snagged hook either way. Deeper lakes require a breakoff.

Probably not, I hear tell that they never have to be operated on.

Same one in all of his pics. I used to like a nice stiff maduro while fishing. But then a doc told me that may be why I lost part of my tongue. Now, I just enjoy the second hand waft off my other Dr. buddies pick of the day while fishing.

Promoting Oprah's products.

Never thought about mounting any raptors. I am sure many die a mistaken death on public land, good to see they can put them to good use. The meat is real stringy.

I pulled some old tomato vines out of the raised beds and tossed them in the burn barrel while the kids are sledded on Sunday. Stakes were frozen in. Only a few weeks till lettuce planting time.

The shoveler looks a little stretched out. Like the gaddy too. I killed an ole double curl mallard one time. Bought the kit online and was going to mount him. Spent the time to skin him out and then left him too long in the freezer. Still have a mallard mounting kit if I ever decide to do one again. My hunting buddy learned his bird mounting skills in college mounting birds for lab work. He assisted in skinning it out. Pretty hard work with a scalpel. The bill and skull takes some work. My eyes and fingers are not as nimble to do it anymore.
-
Good looking mounts. In the old days, ducks hung outside for a few days to age the meat. Strip out the guts was all you did in the field.
-
Had a blue heeler that liked pig balls one time. Every time we cut pigs, he would gulp then down whole as we tossed them to him. After a while, he would go out into the field and barf them up. Then come back for more. Dogs never seem to learn.

Quit feeding that dog table food and his stomach would be better.

I can honestly say, "I'm only drunk when I'm drinking." Been there, done that. Not with snowmen, but with other things. Amazing how alcohol seems to affect sense of directions.
-
Why do you think he was passed out in the back? Probably ran out of gas and just climbed in back for a nap. Truck rolled off into river.
-
It has survived more floods that I ever thought it would. I thought it would be gone the first spring.
-
The handicap fishing ramp was a good place to drink beer and watch the float crowd go thru. If I was in a wheelchair and went there to fish, I would have been offended.
-
Early spring snowfall will cool this off.

There is always a better shoe. But will the MDC approve of it???

Bees were flying this weekend. But they were flying Christmas Day also. Snow geese were heading north tonite when I dropped off the grandkid when we came back from farm. Turkey gobbler in full strut this morning on way out to farm. I did look around for morels today, just in case. Bucks were loosing antlers on all game cams this week. I have been watching the bats every trip back from the farm for the last month. They were out at 4 today. I think winter must be over.

I truly understand. I am sure we will meet again.

I know guys that sit out in the Mississippi behind wing dikes in the coldest days in cabin boats and catch big cats. I don't think they hibernate, just not as active using energy that requires constant feeding.
