...and Counterfeit products. https://www.fool.com/the-ascent/personal-finance/articles/some-shoppers-are-fleeing-amazon-because-of-counterfeit-goods/ Amazon announced last spring it removed over 6 million counterfeit products. 6 million?! And that's what they knew about! How many more are still on Amazon? Be careful guys.

Milliken used to be a member here: @FishnBen He hasn't been here in a long time. Take out of that what you will.

ALF is no longer on the list. I know the list isn't published, but a quick rule of thumb, is after you post something, read it. If it contains ***, then it's on the list. You can then edit the post or delete it (immediately after posting). You won't get penalized for an accidental post like that. But if it's habitual, or if you're deliberately trying to skirt around the ***, then you'll get a warning. If it happens again, you'll get another warning, and so on, until it becomes apparent the warnings are being ignored. Then stronger action may be required to, ah, get your attention. Unfortunately, there's no way to apply it to public posts but not PM's. The program isn't that sophisticated. So...no need to tiptoe around. If you step out of bounds, you'll know - and nothing bad will happen unless it continues.

@Gnarwhal To be clear, posts are rarely deleted. As you can see here, whatever post you thought would get deleted hasn't been removed (I don't know what post that is, I just know we haven't deleted anything for quite a long time). I don't know where you get the notion we routinely delete posts, but PM me if you have any questions. Happy to help!

I had 2 different ex-girlfriends get all up in arms about how much fishing I did, and tried to get me go less. That's why they're EX-girlfriends. 😎 When I met my (future) wife, I told her on one of our first dates, "Look, I fish a lot....no, really, A LOT! That means I spend most weekends on the water. Fishing isn't what I do, it's who I am. Now, you're welcome to try it if you want. If you like it, great. If you don't, that's fine too. But what you can never do, is tell me I can't go fishing. That will never work with me." She tried it in my aluminum BassTracker-style boat, and immediately told me that if I expected her to go fishing with me I would need a bigger boat. We'll be married 20 years in February.

Sidebar: gas you put in your boat is eligible for a tax credit for those of you that itemize. It's not much - just the federal gas tax, which is something like 4 cents a gallon. But every little bit helps!

@Gnarwhal ??? Explain yourself.

I'm not benefiting from their antics any more than I did from the Googans. LOL

And all y'all are eating it up and sharing on social media and bassresource. It's working.

Good lord... Get those clicks, get those clicks, get those clicks. MILLk it for all you can!

Straight from2-time MLF champion Michael Neal!

Game on dude! That's a ton of fun! Congrats.

My stepmother of 43 years had dementia. The last time I saw her was the first time she didn't recognize me. She passed 2 weeks later. * this isn't about me. Just showing support because I have experienced something similar.

I caught a 9.1lb on a spinnerbait. So.... Checkmate.

I hadn't realized it'd been that long for Lions fans. Congrats for breaking the dry spell! The 'Hawks won? Now THAT'S a Christmas miracle! LOL Thanks for the gift Tannehill. 😁 On another note, NFL officiating continues its downward spiral. I think they've been dipping into the eggnog a little early.

You need to spool it differently than other lines. Here's how:

Now is a great time to repower that older boat With a more fuel-efficient high-performance power source complete with a 5-year warranty. https://www.suzukimarine.com/outboards/ss-series/

I'm truly sorry to hear about the loss of your father. I won't offer up anything religious because I know you don't want that. Please know that during this difficult time, our thoughts are with you. Your father was a remarkable person who touched the lives of many. He will be deeply missed. Remember that it's okay to feel a range of emotions during this time. Grieving is a personal process and there's no right or wrong way to experience it. Take all the time you need to process your feelings and know that it's completely normal to need moments to yourself. If there's anything we can do to support you, whether it's just listening or helping with daily tasks, please don't hesitate to ask. You're not alone in this, and we're here for you. Take care of yourself and lean on your loved ones for support. Your father's memory will always be cherished and remembered by all who had the privilege to know him. With heartfelt condolences, Glenn

Bought my boat in 2003. Blew 2 powerheads in 5 years due to ethanol. I switched to ethanol-free fuel at that point and have never had a problem since.

Always remember: A day without sunshine is like....night!

Jump on it while you're thinking about it!

Shhhhh!
