#2 No guess work for the reason I’m there Mike

It was. Holyfield never had the piece repaired I think he considered it his badge of honor. Mike

Thanks, You’re right I haven’t. I’ve been a boxing fan since the mid ‘60’s when I competed myself in the junior ranks, but don’t really follow it anymore. I know MMA is popular all over the country but that’s about it. When I first saw a match I thought it was just a new twist to the actual “boxing” of old tying to regain its lost appeal and popularity. Yes, before you say it I’m just an old fashioned purist. You can guess who my money is on 😃 Mike

I have no thoughts. I don’t know who Jake Paul is, never heard of him. It’s obviously a made for tv way for this Paul guy to get some attention to further whatever he thinks he is, and Tyson probably feels he’s been forgotten and needs the money. Mike

I’ve been using red hooks for certain things for years and never had one fade or bleed. Chip? Yes Mike

@casts_by_fly I agree. If they feel they can’t compete without them in todays world regardless of how old they are, I’d bet they could make those things get up and dance if they wanted Mike

With the amount of money invested and the amounts that are at stake, nature and beauty of anything is the last thing they’re interested in to look at. Mike

Every one of them said they have to have setup’s like that just to be able to compete. I get it, but it’s also a little sad that this is what it’s come too. Mike

No hooks? Never I don’t see the point, especially with kids. What gets them hooked on fishing is the excitement of the hit and the fight with the added bonus of a teaching point for me of everything they just did. Add in the overwhelming feeling of seeing and feeling of what they just accomplished on their own makes it all worthwhile. Mike

High 3’s to Low 4’s across the line for casting or spinning Mike

I use the Gambler Duz It. They come with either a nickel or gold willow blade, assorted keel weights and sizes up to a 7/0. The thing about them is that the blades are not fixed into position so you can move it for changing depths. Mike

So sorry to hear. Prayers that he makes a complete recovery. Mike

Absolutely! That and Blue Cypress. The fishing is better at times than Headwaters with a lot less pressure and traffic Mike

Snell for all bottom contact Palomar for braid on top SDJ for everything else. Never use a leader Mike

Don’t know what you read but I’ve transferred flouro to different reels a few times and never had problem (Sniper and Shooter) I once transferred unused 20# Shooter as you did. One thing I do is use KVD Line and Lure at different intervals while reeling which helps it to lay down nicely Tip When I spool flouro of any thickness I reel it on through a piece of soaked nylon Mike

I have a lot to say about what happened and about what keeps happening but I know it’s not allowed on here, so I won’t. I’ll just say that Mrs Mike and I pray for the one killed and that we don’t hear about no one else Mike

You guys won’t be able to sign Cousins, Jefferson and Hunter. So since it looks like they’re gonna do it anyway, I’ll give you Fields for a 2nd and call it even. Mike

There’s an old saying… “Never eat steak at a fish house and NEVER EVER eat fish at a steakhouse!! Just Sayin Mike

On my I phone 13 I just go to the Share button below the response box in the post, click on photo library which will bring up all the pictures in the phone. Click the picture I want to post, press the options on bottom left, adjust size if I need and hit add on top right. As @Scott F posted. That’s it Don’t need an app or any outside source. Mike

Ditto Mike

Good Point Using anything other than 100% anise you are definitely not getting the benefit that you want/expect. Plus you won’t need as much. Another example of getting what you pay for. Mike

HA!! That wins the “Best Post Award” if we had one!! Mike

I don’t believe the hype that anything is a true “fish attractent” that will bring a fish directly to your lure solely because of it. What they will do is mask a foreign smell as was posted, and (maybe) taste like a fish’s prey which in turn will cause a fish to hold onto it longer for you to do your thing… That I do believe. At an Elite event that I Marshalled for, there was discussion among us about the products. After that I made my own… 1 part anise oil and 2 parts baby oil. Been using it ever since. Mike

I am the least country music fan you’ll ever meet, but he is one of the few singers overall when signing about this country that it comes from the heart Very Sad Mike
