The window opening changes as we age. If it isn't fun anymore don't do it. I'm sure you still enjoy fishing just not the grind.

Last printer I bought came free with the computer purchase. HP will almost give them away to get the ink cartridge sales down the road

Good to see you back Paul.

Cottonwood. The only way to avoid it is not to fish. The timing of the air blown fluffs is always during the smallmouth spawn on Lake Erie and the fishing for smallies suck. Just my observation.

So you snuck out by yourself on a weekday while poor Jeffro was working. Shame on you! It feels good when it finally starts to come together.

I just hope Kent got it.

. That was a joke. Not serious

Nice one.

LCM we have been barbless up in northern Canada for over ten years. This is for pike & lake trout which are all hand landed or cradled. We simply pinch the barbs down with pliers. The guides insist it be done as they are the ones looking at multiple trebles coming towards their faces when cradling a fish . We have not noticed a loss of fish caught because of the pinched barbs. Hook penetration is said to be better with barbless hooks. As long as you keep a tight line without slack it is not a problem. With bass jumping it would be critical to maintain pressure when they are airborne . The few times I have seen guys hooked with barbless hooks has facilitated hook removal. Someone else brought up the point that being hooked multiple times by the same boat partner might indicate a change is needed in casting procedures.

Just goes to show how crazy the pike bite can be. Great footage, thanks for sharing.

There will not be a three peat if Miami plays again like they did last night. The spurs got into an offensive rhythm like I have never seen . They were making shots from everywhere & everybody. The whole team contributed big time. Outclassed by the Spurs & outplayed.

Pictures or it didn't happen.

Cool observation. How deep were the main lake beds?

He is my favorite too.

Sweet outing and great pics.

Yes but yours smelled like a barn yard animal. Baa baaaa

More blue cooler love.

Biggest smallmouth Biggest largemouth.

Well it looks like the best of five games. Can the heat do a three peat?

Nice one. I sent you a pm.

Congrats on the good day & the win.

He is a good stick too.

Yea but you never really liked senko's, especially the 7" ones.

Nice report. Sounds like you guys really started to get the big girls moving.
