This isn't about catching fish, so that point is moot. The price you posted wasn't correct anyway.

Lew's is owned by Strike King these days. Mic drop.

I've gone "all Monsanto" on the border of the pool.

That's the front. Takes about 20 minutes. The back is where all the trouble is.

Not my dog, just some rando's at the launch pet. Her name is Raven. She stole one of my flip flops while I getting the boat ready, lol.

Coltrane & Bailey

Another one of my problems is all the things on my property. There's a two car detached garage, pool, deck, a number of garden beds with brick borders, and the AC condenser, etc. At least the front is fairly straight forward, lol. Yes, I am mowing tonight.

Anyone that has fished from shore has fished uphill.

I'm onboard as an uphill guy.

That deep, I'm using football jigs, drop shot, or a jigging spoon.

I like the result, and I live in a neighborhood where it would not be acceptable to have an overgrown lawn. But for the past few years, I'm over it. I'd like the time back for other things. I see others that have a service come in, and I'm not particularly impressed with the results. Seems like rush job/money grab. So I'll keep mowing and weed whacking.

I don't think so. Waders are all folded up tightly in a box on store shelves and probably sit for who knows how long. These were supposedly brand new. If they were $200, it would be worth it to me to figure out the leak point and patch it.

Totally doable.

I don't typically drop shot with anything less than 1/2 oz. More likely 3/4 oz. Since I'm almost vertical, it's okay to overload the weight. I want the bait to be where I put it. But, it handled a 5" Senko just fine, and that's about 3/8 oz.

ADRIAN!!!

They aren't native to the lake in Canada, and they are a man made variant. Don't get me wrong, the rainbow record counts in my book. I'm just proving my point about record fish all having some special set of circumstances that may have had an affect on their size. A triploid trout is sterile and has no drive to make a costly run upstream or devote any calories toward egg production. Just eat, eat, swim, eat, eat.

The record rainbow is a genetically modified triploid trout plant.

I'm curious what they're using it for?

off the top of my head, brown trout, rainbow trout, largemouth bass, and probably a few types of sunfish also not sure, but the record Nile Perch might be an invasive as well

No, it's definitely about fishing for me. That's why they're called fishing records or record catches. Not a world record from some DNR person doing an electrofishing survey. Most lakes around here have zero management for bass, and the bass do just fine.

In my experience, even just 15# Invisx is difficult to break off. Sounds like you have a fluoro issue not specific to any brand.

Vanish - what happens to your catch when you use it!

Patch them.

Pretty sure that's just a medium duty Attwood trolling motor plug.
