It probably isn't. I have a ton of them, but old one eye Sammy is the fish catcher.

Congrats on the new graphs and new slate. Not sure I could leave my pins behind.

Is that a skunk in the cupholder?

I've doubled up on topwater and traps. Always smallies.

I fish a small lake less than 20 acres. They put about a dozen tigers in it to control the panfish and pickerel population. There is one that is way over 40" and I've caught it. Not what I was after, but cool. The bass and panfish in that lake are tanks. It's a really great kayak fishing lake and very peaceful. There's nothing really complex about it either. It's textbook fishing and the tigers really keep it that way.

Tiger musky are sterile, and therefore don't reproduce like carp and other non native/invasive species.

HBD!

My grandmother had a GSD and a mini lop that were best friends. It's cool you get to have that too.

Just send @Delaware Valley Tackle a PM.

What do I know? I thought pictures on your phone was the stupidest idea.

It's absurd.

Is that a Heineken?

I've done that move, lol. It works. I've also used a cymbal stand, because I have like 25 of them.

Trash pandas!

It's like making love…deeper, slower, feel it. Jig fish in' 101.

The palomar is actually VERY strong with fluoro, but it has to be tied carefully and properly. I used to do a knot strength demo at seminars I held with my speaking partner, Paul, who was a very good angler. We'd both tie a palomar on the same rod and reel and test the break strength. I always got well into the 6.x range with 6 lb. Invisx. He never got over 4. I noticed he let the line roll over itself and pulled it tight from the main line. You gotta snug it up gently and cinch from the tag end. It was always entertaining and eye opening.

Small breeds are not my thing. Gotta have a big dog...

Pencil and a small cardboard box works for me.

Improved clinch, Palomar, and Uni all work well and are all I need.

My dog walker is bonded and has a key to the house. I pay her when we leave the dogs home. The only thing she'd likely steal is my GSD because she loves him so much.

Moving baits that get in the zone by themselves is key. Pick locations where they'll work.

I can do two Zweigle's - one Texas hot and one pork hot. They gotta be charred and popped. https://zweigles.com/products/pop-open-picnic-pack/

What's not to understand? There are more jobs than are people looking for work. $18/hour is gonna be a very competitive job market. That's a few thousand less than $40k, assuming working 40 hour weeks, 52 weeks per year. OP, your friend is gonna have to do better. There are unskilled factory jobs here for $20/hour, plus 80 hours PTO, full benes, quarterly reviews/raises, other perks, etc. Those guys that no showed are probably working and not lazy at all. They're just making more somewhere else.
