Welcome to the best bass site on the web! Enjoy the forums.

I use the William Joseph Hemocuts. You can use them to cut line, remove hooks, and as a hemostat. The grip texture is great with wet hands and the bright orange color make them easy to find in your bag or in the water (if dropped).

Welcome Justin. Enjoy the forums. BR is a great community.

They cost a buck and quarter in 1963, and now they're vintage on fleabay.

Great day fishing! Congrats.

Blood and fish slime seem to keep cork good for decades.

Nice fish!! Congrats.

Great story with a great fish. Thanks for sharing!

Great video Glenn. Thanks for sharing that with us.

Congrats - nice "catch".

Blood and fish slime seem to keep it good for decades.

Good advice. Love my Pflueger President 6735.

Sorry to hear of this. My condolences to Mark & his family.

Nice going grampa1114 - this is a good topic to revitalize. I too, had skin cancer. No fun getting Mohs style surgery. I wear a hat (Tilley brand - replaced free if they ever wear out), polarized sunglasses, a Buff, long sleeved fishing shirts (Simms & Columbia brands), and Buff angler gloves. Don't be stupid folks... the UV damage to your skin can kill you. Stay healthy = enjoy fishing longer.

Great catch. Congrats!

Nice haul - congrats!

Congrats on your great day. It's going to be tough to beat your PB now!

Nice fish. Congrats.

Nice post Rolo. After reading the responses, I felt compelled to chime in. My Mom passed away in Sept. 2012, after the five year steady decline that Alzheimer's causes. She went through the forgetfulness, the frightening realization that Alzheimer's was consuming her, two broken hips, and withered away into that catatonic state. Wherever she was in her mind, it wasn't a happy place. Alzheimer's is a horrifying disease. My thoughts are with you & your family. Stay strong & remember the good times. ~Joe~

Great video - yup, I did all those things. Plus hopped on freight trains, climbed across the frozen Delaware River, hiked parts of the Appalachian trail without adult supervision, and rode our bikes behind the mosquito spraying truck. Stupid stuff (yet fun), and lived to tell.

Sage advice. Thanks.

After having a crappy week at work, I thought that this was an appropriate song to sum it all up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dULOjT9GYdQ

Great fish - hopefully the first of many...

Who cares how much it weighed. Her smile says it all. Congrats on a nice catch.
