Randall, I'm starting to think that when the eggs hatch at Varner the fry already weigh 3 lbs. Three days in a row over 25 lbs is slaying 'em.

I'm a big Cardinal fan but, for me, I think the jury is still out on this one. We've had to use our bullpen a great deal and they're not always going to be able to carry us for three or four innings. I hope you're right though. Pujols is looking as good as ever.

I think Glenn has pointed you in the right direction with Rieslings. My wife is not big on drier wines so I turned her on to this stuff and she loves it. Of course, when we go out for a really nice meal we will drink the recommended type of complementary wine. I recommend Columbia Winery Cellarmaster Riesling at $12.00 a bottle. It is as good or better than some 20 dollar Rieslings and it's made in the state of Washington.

Nice fish, SirSnookalot! It looks like the thing was burrowed up in some nasty stuff.

Nice interview, Glenn. Thanks.

The owner of a pond I fish is always trying to shoot the muskrats to decrease the damage they do to his dam. I'm going to give him the link to this article. It doesn't sound like shooting is the best method to achieve his goals.

Your point makes sense but there is another factor affecting sensitivity and that is the amount of material the vibration must travel through. Another question is how do you measure the amount of material the vibrations travels through and where does the vibration begin on the rod? The fish sends the vibration up the line which then touches the rod at each line guide. Is there a vibration created at each line guide? Interesting thread. I have lots of questions but no answers.

Incredible.

Thanks, Glenn.

I carry a net but I haven't had the need to use it yet.

Nice pictures Avid! It's the first time I've seen your whole face in a photo.

Welcome, Benny! Nice intro.

Sweet! What a trip!

Nice fish! Hawk is correct. It's all a learning process. I would bet everyone of us has a fish or two or three that we haven't handled properly at some point but we improve, right?

Welcome, Garret! What is the weight of that first behemoth? Those are both some nice fish.

Ole Catt plays it well! You make excellent points about the relative importance of stable temperatures and the differences in depths between lakes.
