I don't use a tat, but.. I have followed this phantom issue for a couple years. It's a non-existence problem. I'm sure before the day is over there will be plenty of tat users confirming this as well.. Rest easy..

I found to to be quite helpful and quick in gusty winds, especially this time of year..

Never tell your problems to anyone...20% don't care and the other 80% are glad you have them...

6.5 maybe 7

What about girth? Ok, I would give it 6.8 to 7.2lb She could push closer to 8 but I don't think so.

I wore one on 8 Different aircraft carriers, that's a bit different. I would wear one while motoring like JF stated, other than that.. It's my choice not to. What does upset me, people driving flooded roadways... There have been 7 drownings this month driving flooded roadways... I guess it was their choice too, but I can't help, based on the ages & gender, they simply didn't grasp the power & danger of water.

Skip the meds.. Have a drink on me!

Lol.. Funny thread..

Wow! I think metallica still runs carver on their playlist ( jam warm up ) I bought a dat machine back in the day.. Of course, I lost that battle. I still think I was right though, cd just got dumbed down, thin burns, thinner & thinner media.. Aw, the good ole days!! Almost nothing better than hifi Equipment...I had a solid 12,000 in my system, it felt wrong! Lol..

Loved my Carver amps in the 80's

Years ago I calculated my cost to pursue my greatest outdoor joy of big game hunting.. Long story short.. I could have easily purchased a small farm and a 100 head of cattle and it may have been cheaper & profitable! But geez, I sure do love to hunt big game.. So I did

It might be a great time to use spinning tackle. Finnese type plastics, etc What Catt said is so true.. If, possible. That would depend on your pardner as much as yourself.

I can understand the disillusion at your age, believe me, there are very good & decent folks in the world yet.. As far back as recorded history goes, the general theme remains, basically unchanged. It's sad, but it's true.. Like I said before, that's just the way it is.. I don't like it anymore than you, and I'm nearly double your age.. Hang tough, best wishes!

Sounds like impact injuries to me, not sure wearing pfd's minimize those injuries.. Wearing pfd's certainly won't prevent a careless accident.

Amen! Lol!!

Ever heard of Kingsley lake? I was fishing for & catching large bluegill, had around a dozen on a rope stringer. Mid-morning, bite slowed way down, I was about to call it a day, .. My stringer became very active, I thought stupid fish, lol It got still... Then got violently active, I walk over to look-see, Bam! Large,Large Snake wrapping my fish and trying to eat them.. Nope, I beat and banged that snake away! He came back, quick.. I beat and banged him away again.. He left.. As I waited, he did not return. However he had killed, damaged several fish.. I simply removed them from the stringer, the ones alive swam away, the dead ones, I assume he was lurking close by.. So much for my fish fry. It was a large snake too.. I've seen both mocs & watersnakes (large) they Are intimidating when they are that size..

James Hetfield would like that ink.. Looks well done...

Ibtl....

Lol, yelp, they work excellent during spring Turkey season.. Windy, spring days on wind blown banks have always provided fish for me. ( spinnerbaits )

Guy... Toughen up some, that's life. I wouldn't let that stop me from fishing. Good & Evil co-exist. That's just the way it is...

There's that "rubber band" anology again, lol..

You might need more than one.. Depending ( Bobber stop ) the rubber version, not the Thread/tube type of bobber stop...

Brian Johnson of ACDC lives there for that very reason, so does the Bass player.. Because it's so like Austraila..

Those are great pics! I see them a lot during deer season & again during Spring Turkey.. I have never seen one fishing, let alone attack a bait! Cool story...
