^^ Good list! ^^ There's only 3 things I would add: 1. Change the water pump impeller and housing every 2 years 2. Check the brake pads for wear 3. Grease the engine zerks

Oh man...the ripple effect....

You know what's worse that a boxful of snakes? A box that was SUPPOSED to be full of snakes!

Ok. I tried to help. I'm out.

I finally asked AI, since I KNOW FOR CERTAIN it's not a problem with this site. Here's what it said: YouTube's Error 153, often a "video player configuration error," is a widespread issue that frequently occurs with embedded videos and is typically caused by a browser's settings, an extension, or a problem with the referer header. Common solutions include disabling browser extensions, clearing your browser's cache and cookies, or trying a different browser, such as using Incognito or a different browser altogether. For embedded videos, the problem may also be fixed by modifying the embed code to use a "privacy-enhanced mode" or replacing the URL with one that starts with youtube-nocookie.com. Common causes and solutions Browser Extensions or Ad Blockers: These can interfere with the YouTube player by blocking necessary data. Solution: Try disabling extensions like ad blockers, privacy tools, or other browser add-ons. Browser Cache: Corrupted cache files can cause various issues, including this error. Solution: Clear your browser's cache and cookies. You may also need to sign out of YouTube and then sign back in. Referer Header: The error can occur when a browser doesn't send the correct Referer header, which YouTube requires to identify the source of the embedded video. Solution: Using the youtube-nocookie.com embed URL instead of youtube.com can sometimes resolve this, especially for sites that have a default policy against sending referer headers. Browser or Device: The problem might be specific to the browser or device you are using. Solution: Try a different browser or use an Incognito/InPrivate window to see if the issue persists. Page and Video Content: A specific page's layout or a particular video can sometimes trigger this error. Solution: Try refreshing the page. If that doesn't work, try re-embedding the video or replacing the video block in your content editor. Internet Connection: A poor or unstable internet connection can prevent the video from loading correctly. Solution: Check your internet connection to make sure it is stable and fast enough for streaming.

Cold fronts, hot water, muddy lakes, heavy pressure… sometimes it feels like bass just vanish. But don’t pack it up yet — this video breaks down the three methods that work when nothing else will. Whether you’re bank fishing or on the boat, these tips will keep you catching when others go home skunked.

It took me awhile to find it, but here's a picture of it:

https://youtu.be/NN5sKeba0YA doesn't embed for me either. It's the wrong format. It needs a query string.

Go to the video, and click the "share" button under it. Then click "Copy". The video link is: https://youtu.be/NN5sKeba0YA?si=vj56Fz0zW1q_iDRO I had to paste that "as a link" instead of an embedded video, otherwise it does this automatically: Did ya notice the stuff after "si=" changed from your post? Yours also has "/embed/" in the URL. Yup, that's strictly YouTube garbage. Different URLs for the same video. Some work, some don't.

Hey legit question: If we participated LAST YEAR ONLY (not 6 years ago), do we still need to PM you our info or do you already have that?

I was fishing the back end of a wooded cove with a fellow member @BassnChris on Wilson Lake, and we came upon a shrine/memorial/sacrifice looking thing built in the shallow water. It was straight out of the bayou swamplands. It had a voodoo vibe to it. There was nobody around, and no way to access it other than by boat. We didn't stick around long.

Perfect for fall:

Paste the link and hit "enter". That will display the embedded video. It's not foolproof. It's an issue with Youtube that I cannot solve.

It's a Youtube issue. Just go back and edit your post, delete the video, get a NEW link from Youtube via the "share" feature (not the URL in your browser), and post that. Be sure to hit "enter" before clicking the "submit" button.

Actually, they do have that. It's called the UFL (United Football League), which was created by merging the XFL and USFL. They play in the spring. They try new rules - or carry over college rules - in a semi-professional league environment that the NFL may adopt. The new kickoff rules this year is a perfect example of this. It was a UFL rule first. Also, the use of chips in footballs for marking the spot was first tested in the UFL. Current rules in the UFL for the 2026 season that may be considered by the NFL are: The onside conversion option with a team trailing in the fourth quarter allowed to attempt a single scrimmage play to gain 12 yards from its own 28-yard line. (The XFL used 15 yards from its own 25-yard line; the USFL used 12 yards from its own 33-yard line.) Pass interference penalties will be limited to 15 yards from the previous line of scrimmage or the spot of the foul, whichever is less. The league will use the XFL's variable-distance conversion rule, offering one, two or three points depending upon how far away from the goal line the offense chooses to attempt the play, and prohibiting kicking for the extra point. (The USFL had allowed the two and three point scrimmage conversions but allowed for an extra point kick.) All touchbacks will come to the receiving team's 25-yard line. Any coffin corner punt that goes out of bounds beyond the 25-yard line will be treated as a touchback, a rule previously used in the XFL (though that league had used the 35-yard line for its touchbacks). The XFL overtime rule will be carried over, in that tie games will involve a best-of-three shootout of two-point conversion attempts from each 5-yard line. If the tie persists, multiple attempts will be played until one team scores, which wins it. One timeout can be called per attempt. The overtime has no game clock, but the play clock will still be used. 35 second play clock (NFL is 40), and play clock continues with incomplete passes and out-of-bound plays until the 2:00 mark Onside kicks can be attempted at any time Coaches' challenges: UFL allows unlimited challenges as long as the team has a timeout. Last year, they allowed ANY call could be challenged, but it appears they're not bringing that back in 2026. Coin toss: The home team decides to possess or defer in UFL; the NFL has a standard coin toss. In addition to rules, it's important to note many players and coaches from the UFL (previously XFL and USFL) are now in the NFL. So yes, there is a minor league of sorts for the NFL.

We have systems in place to thwart spammers, scammers, and deceptive marketing efforts. Automation cannot decipher all of them, so sometimes posts end up in manual review. If you're a long-time member here, you have nothing to be concerned about.

When the woods meet the water, trust what drives you. Trust Suzuki.

I hope you stopped watching college ball for the same reason. Over 50% of the college teams did the same thing. Oh! Then there's the NBA and MLB players that did it too. You gotta stop watching them if that's why you're not watching the NFL.

Here's my take:

American football—like baseball—has developed a tremendous international following. Both sports consistently fill massive stadiums whenever they’re hosted abroad, a clear testament to their growing global appeal. I find that exciting. There’s a deep sense of pride in seeing something so uniquely American resonate around the world. One of the great freedoms we enjoy in this country is the “pursuit of happiness,” which includes the liberty to enjoy any kind of music we choose. Many of our favorite genres are shaped by global influences—artists, rhythms, and styles that reflect the diversity and openness that define America itself. What better way to celebrate the great melting pot of music than on an international stage? In a way, it’s a subtle reminder of the creative freedom we often take for granted—something not every nation allows. Of course, sports have their quirks. Sometimes the rules are interpreted so literally that they lose the spirit of the game—like a 15-yard penalty for a light brush of the quarterback’s helmet or the infamous “12th man” call. And let’s be honest, a few players know exactly how to exploit those gray areas. A classic example: the punt returner who waits until the last second to wave a fair catch, practically inviting contact and drawing a penalty. There ought to be a rule for that! As for the “Tush Push”? That one doesn’t bother me. For decades, quarterbacks and running backs have been diving over linemen to gain a few crucial yards. This is simply a modern twist on a time-honored move—nothing more. No matter where we’re from, one thing remains true: people everywhere are passionate about their sports and their music. That shared passion bridges cultures and reminds us that, despite our differences, we have far more in common than not. And in today’s world, that’s something we could all use a little more of.
