Agreed

plan of action was a bad choice of words on my part Joe. Actually my little daughter started crying and I wasn't even going to post it but happened to do it accidentally anyway!

What's your plan of action? Do you pile on the pressure before he hits the surface? Do you "bow" to the fish when he jumps?

I do agree with you Paul this is an excellent line. If might be my choice if it was specifically for light spinning applications only. Yozuri is a tad bit stiffer no doubt. The small diameter lines are always on the bleeding edge of not having enough abrasion resistance. You have to constantly recheck the line for nicks with the smaller diameters.

That water color looks perfect

LOL, you're supposed to white out the river, not your face! Anyway, nice fish! I bet you had fun!

Every time I think about using this rig I just imagine how long it takes to re-tie and I can't bring myself to do it

Beautiful

He probably only needed 5 lbs! How many did he end up with the last day?

Very nice fish! and hooked where he should be!

My father was born Dennis Franklin Fields Oct 14, 1921 in Finch, Arkansas. He was the middle son, having 2 older brothers and 3 younger brothers, along with two older sisters. Two of his younger brothers died from blood infections at an early age. He attended an old school house named Bethel, which was first thru sixth grade. He rode a horse 3 miles to school every day and would pick up a young crippled boy about halfway through the ride. Back then, the older children would assist the younger ones, a little different approach than we have today. One of the biggest memories of his childhood was when he was 9 yrs. old and a meteor touched down near the Bethel school and his childhood farm. He said the sky lit up like daylight. There was a neighboring farmer who was part American Indian who had what my dad always referred to as native shrewdness, who actually located the meteor landing spot. They called in a man and his famous team of mules from the next county to extract the meteor. By that time, a small crowd had gathered around the site. My father was one of the witnesses to the extraction. He said the guy was whipping his mules so fiercely, and they were pulling so hard, that their bellies almost dragged the ground. Apparently the money the farmer received form the meteor was a large enough sum that the man retired. Eventually he, according to several testimonies, squandered the money and became a drunk! Ha ha, dont you love the old stories! Anyway, here are a couple of links to the story: http://www.paragoulddailypress.com/news/meteorite-talk-draws-surprise-eye-witness/image_8e370cf6-bba3-5839-8b54-dca7110bcfdf.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paragould_meteorite Right around WW2, dads family moved from Arkansas to California, Kind of like The Grapes of Wrath. It was a popular thing to do back then, they considered California as the Garden of Eden. Dad joined the army and was stationed in England and Egypt most of the war. My Uncle Mitch, my names sake, went on to be a soldier who went across Normandy Beach on D2. Uncle Mitch went to England on his first leave to meet my father to present him a German Luger, which was one of the most prized possessions a soldier could get in WW2. When he got to England, he found out my father had just left 2 hours before to go back stateside. After the war, my dad, and a couple of his family members including his parents, moved back to Arkansas. My dad met my mother 10 years after the war, and was married soon thereafter. They moved to St. Louis for employment opportunities, and to raise our family. When my father retired in 84, my mother and he moved back to their hometown in Paragould, Arkansas. He had a good long retirement and passed away in Oct 2012 at 90 yrs. old. The Bethel school where he rode the horse to school as a child, has been preserved and is now a cemetery, and the old school house still stands. Hes buried there next to my mom, who passed 2 months ago, at the Bethel cemetery. So he is back home, resting within 3 miles of his boyhood home, Talk about full circle!

Yep, That day was for supposedly the largest movement of men and material in history. My dad was stationed in England and he said the day before, the skies were absolutely filled with aircraft, he knew something huge was going down.

Ya know, maybe there is a plus side to kids texting and playing Call of Duty......

After reading between the lines, I understand now. BTW, look closely at your 401K. If you have a mutual fund there's a good chance you too could be one of those "evil" Walmart share holders

What's the Mullberry music fest?

Exactly

What a nice fish!!

She wanted 9k for boobs? I would ask her to buy her own! I would say huge red flag. But he's lucky she only ruined his life for 7 months. So like my buddy always says "the next time you think about getting married, just find a woman you hate and buy her a house.....huge time savings"

I always think of a story when my brother was first married. They got back from their honeymoon and she handed him a "List" of honey do's. He took the list and ripped it in half from top to bottom and said "Here's what I think of your list" .....off to a good start!

Yep, read the whole story twice, it just doesn't add up.

my apologies too!

Sorry, it's a joke!!
