  5. Hero to be reunited with soldier he saved Dog gets his day By CYNTHIA R. FAGEN They became instant war heroes by foiling a suicide bomber trying to sneak into US soldiers' quarters in Afghanistan, and as a reward, they're getting homes -- and lots of doggie treats. Three stray mutts -- Rufus, Target and Sasha -- were living near Sgt. Chris Duke and other US troops on a remote military base in Afghanistan on Feb. 22 when they spotted the bomber outside a building where 50 soldiers were sleeping. Rufus bit the Taliban terrorist on the leg as Target and Sasha barked furiously. Several soldiers -- unaware of the imminent danger -- tried shouting down the mutts. But the dogs continued barking, spooking the bomber into prematurely setting off 24 pounds of C4 explosives before he could get through the door -- and killing himself. Rufus and Target were seriously wounded. Tragically, Sasha died. "There isn't a doubt in my mind [that the dogs] saved my life," said Duke, who was wounded by shrapnel -- and is now adopting Rufus. Five soldiers, including Duke, were evacuated for medical treatment after the blast. But Duke, a National Guardsman, eventually returned to the base near the Pakistan border and nursed Rufus back to health. It was the least he could do, he said. When Duke was homesick, Rufus picked up his spirits. And when Duke stood watch, Rufus hunkered down beside him. But Duke said he never thought he would see his canine pal again after finally returning stateside in March. That's when several nonprofit groups got involved. "The dogs and the soldiers bonded in such a way that it would be a travesty to leave [the dogs] behind to fend for themselves in a war-torn area and the soldiers never knowing what happened to them," said Robert Misseri, of Robert's Cause, a nonprofit animal-advocacy group. "It's our mission to help these soldiers." Another good Samaritan, Anna Canaan, 23, whose fianc é, Christopher Chiasson, is a soldier currently stationed at the same Afghan outpost in the Dand aw Patan district, created the Puppy Mission Rescue Facebook page to help the dogs. Today, Rufus arrives in Manhattan before flying to Augusta, Ga., where he will spend the rest of his years with Duke and his wife, who is pregnant. Target, being flown out at the same time, will live in Phoenix with the Army medic who saved her life. Pics of the soldiers and dogs on the link.

  7. That's what I was afraid regarding brand because they are all name brand equipment, and I do just want to get rid of it. However, I'm not going to be there, so there won't be any negotiating with the buyer. Thanks for the help.
  8. My parents are having a yard sale in a couple of weeks and I decided I am going to through in some rods and reels that I don't use too often to make a quick buck. Everything is fairly new (nothing older than 10 yrs.), and in very good condition. What are some good prices for used equipment in general? I was thinking 1/5 to 1/10 of the original value. Is this fair for both parties?
  9. What lake are you fishing? If it's in SW Ohio maybe I can help you out.
  10. I'm looking for a good spinning rod that will cost no more than $100. It will be used for t-rigs, shaky heads, senkos, etc. with an occasional jerkbait. I need to buy new because it will be a gift, otherwise I'd be in the flea market. I've been looking at the CarbonLites and Vendettas. Has anyone had any experience with these or do you have any other suggestions? Thanks.
  11. Using spinning gear while in a canoe and you still put that hawg in the boat. Very impressive! Congrats on a great catch and pics.
  12. x2 and I will fish a C-rig when the bite is tough like middle of the day in the middle of the summer or early in the year when a cold front pushes through.
  13. You're right. She beat me in golf as well that week and has been asking me if I need any advice or tips in either sport.
  14. That's what I told her, but you know how women can be. She said if the fish would have eaten the shiner it would have weighed in at an even 10. Regardless, it was a memorable day and I look forward to a fantastic season on our home waters.
  15. Great pics and fish! Is your avatar from the movie "Gummo"? If so, that is one @#$%ed up movie.
