Nice! Neat coloration... What did she bite?

I been using it for a looong time, hybrid is no problem for me, it's way better in rocks than most carbon lines.. Reasonable in price, and finally I like it!

Lucky Craft "Skeet Reese" SKT Mini MR - $9.99 to $10.99 A tiny 2" @ 3/8 oz .. Smaller and lighter are easier to get, I throw the really light ones on spinning.

LOL!Yup! A classic answer for a few threads as of late.

For what work? Answer that question and get a more defined answer...

They should have 2 already set... I run mine with two on... External, typical 1 or 2, adjust as needed for gusty days, etc.. Never needed to run just one internal myself, some guys do though you can get good additional braking from the external dial. Good choice...

Wow ! That's truly interesting...neat baits and quite a collectible, considering that time frame...

Striking resemblance to a akula class sub...maybe typhoon.. It resembles a submarine to me.. Diesel/ electric probably, cool looking baits ! What era, Hootie ?

Yep, pipeline from Canada to the gulf and on to the world market... Sure helps Canada oil & gas company's . Still don't get why we can't get busy quick with building new bridges, new roads, better electrical grids, etc...

Don't matter what you drive in the states, your going to feel the road! I'd choose a helicopter myself....

Selling your rod & reel will not improve your situation.. It could be fishing it not your thing, in that case, focus on what is your thing, hopefully you can latch on to a hobby you will enjoy! Best wishes...

Yummy, looks fine to me!

It's a good start, and I never kept data on fish, although I did for whitetails & eastern turkey.. It will begin to show details later that you simply could not imagine, IMO, plus, it's fun. I always enjoyed to re- study notes, etc.. I can tell you it absolutely contributed to me being a better hunter. Can't imagine it not helping in fishing either. Nice work!

The Bait Monkey does not like being put on a diet, or starved.. Feed the bait monkey for a happy co- existence.

Sweet!

I like a gold/clear w/ gold flake berkley twitch tail minnow ( powerbait ) and 4" straight tail worm. I like a 3" size really well, I always seem to do better..

Geez, There are other factors to consider as well. Any of those reels you listed before are capable casters, next has to be Rod, line, bait selection, etc.. Is it a jack of all trades reel? Flipping reel? Long bombing crankbaits? Explain your intentions for the reel a bit, at least, more info gets better feedback.

I did that for a young guy once, 2 baitcast reels, one rod, a tackle box with quite a few hard baits. Word came to me about a week later, it all ended up in a pawn shop. That was 1997, I ain't over it yet... Good luck though... Not all folks are scum bags.

Ask Vice President Dan Quayle about how potato is spelled...

Yep, sorta hoped food cost would mimic gas as well, nope, prices jumped.. Noticed quite a increase yet again, yesterday..

The fact you have a length is great, plus the pics. Scale some item in your pic.. ( reel handle, rod handle,( from the pic ) then measure the areas you need to know of the fish. You can use 1/100 or 1/10 you can decide the unit of measurement then convert... Should get you at least closer than a blind guess. That's a nice colorful pic as well. Maybe if you know of a great taxi/ replica maker that's done a lot of this work, I feel certain they could help isolate these numbers as well. Good luck. Nice fish!

Have you ever seen crayfish burrows? Or chimney's? aka, snake holes, lol.. Areas of rock, slab, concrete , feeder streams ? Chances are good they are there. If you wanna be certain, do the field work to find the crawdads. Or the signs of them...

They should go to a meeting...

I just watched niagara the other day... Interesting story on Rapala...

Now this is funny! And probably fist fighting!
