Dan:

why not just get a couple of Gurkha's His Majesty's Reserves?

x2. My reels came back better than new, especially the Fuego with the new bearings.

How much does that cost after the trial?

I also thought it was hokey. Seems to be based more on pure action scenes and badassness then any sort of thinking or plot. Personally, I'll stick with 24.

gotcha, gotcha.

I use 10-20lb test unless I'm fishing super clear water

Hammer the issue we're talking about is not the same as a backlash.

Who's getting overruns besides the one that Thai mentioned?

Trust me, it is possible with any diamater braid. ;D Yup Dan when I spooled your 50 on I got a backlash and in the process of getting it out the line buried itself so deep into the spool that I had to cut all but half of it off just to be able to free my line... That's cause you weren't good at casting back then. ;D Besides, he's not talking about backlashes, this is a separate issue.

Trust me, it is possible with any diamater braid. ;D I guess so, but I think the wider diameters seem to help.

Fist pound it! I went to Playboy's 3rd rated school for hot girls, and could at least find one who could transcribe what the professor said! Normally they could do a little more than that but why give too much credit. where can said list be found?

I don't use anything less than 50lb. The lighter braids have thinner diameters and sometimes it can dig in between itself. I used to have that problem with 30lb braid, problem solved with heavier braid.

Cigarbid destroyed my wallet this summer. I'll post pics of my humi tomorrow. I also like the Nub Maduros, Arturo Fuentes, Graycliffs, almost all Gurkhas, 5 Vegas, and a bunch of others (pretty much any Maduro)

Leave dog sitting to the girls, come out and fish with us men I need that money yo!

agreed. Chegg, amazon, and half will hopefully begin to force the school bookstores to change their practices. The only advantage the bookstores have over the online retailers/renters is that it's much easier to find and buy all the books you need. The kids who have their parents buy their books don't care so much about saving money so they just buy the books from the bookstores because they don't have to search for all of them individually. I stopped buying from the school bookstore during my sophomore year. Then I refused to even sell my books to them at the end of the semester. I sold them to an independent off-campus bookstore just out of spite.

Well I just got another dogsitting gig this weekend so I can't go anyway. So I won't be left out. Good luck guys, I hope the weather works out. Make sure there is at least one camera on each boat. I want to see pics of fish!

Farve has a history of making bad decisions in clutch situations at clutch points of clutch games. Sure he is a good QB, however I feel he is over rated. Do I think the vikings could have made it to the NFC championship game with another QB? I sure do. Look at the Jets, or the Patriots 2001 campaign, both with unproven QBs. Trent Dilfer for instance not great QBs. They were not great at the time but they always gave their team a chance to win. Farve gets selfish and wants to do it himself, be the star? I dont know. When the pressure is on in a clutch game rarely does his "gunslinger" ways workout. Comparing a Linemen and a QB importance on plays isnt even close. Also Lett didnt cost his team as many games in the playoffs as Farve has. His post season record is 13 wins 11 losses, all this while he has thrown 30INTs. Im not the only one with this idea, check out what Sal Paolantonio said here. He has won 1 SB 13years ago. Vikings had a different quarter back last year. How that work out for them? Favre carried that team on his back. Due to the 12 men in the huddle penalty Favre was forced to throw. If not for that they would have ran the ball. Thought you said he was a gunslinger ? If all he did was hand the ball off how did he get 4,202 yards and 33 TD's ? TD Int Rate Brees 34 11 109.6 Favre 33 7 107.2 Manning 33 16 99.9 Brady 28 13 96.2 After comparing him to these scrubs I guess he does seem overrated : And he's 40 Hehehe. Apparently Pain is ignoring this year's statistics. Granted, I acknowledge that this year was better than Favre's recent years, but still. As far as I'm concerned, the stats say that this year Favre was not the QB Pain is claiming him to be.

John, it's a cat. They are a common domesticated mammal that some Americans keep as companions. lol, it's one of the new smilies, I just thought it was funny.

<--- i found another use for them!!!

most of us don't own boats. Some of us have smaller jon boats, and a few have "big boats" So just to be clear, this is planned for Sunday the 31st?

Finally! A dancing penguin smiley. It's about time.

Most of us don't fish it at all. We don't have a formal club, we just get together and fish. Sometimes we do a tournament format but it isn't anything serious. So we have no dues, we have no official members, just buddies who fish together.

Favre.

Pain, he's definitely one of the best at turning the ball over, but he's also undoubtedly a Hall of Fame quarterback regardless of those mistakes, that's my point. Look at Adrian Peterson. He has been the most prolific fumbler throughout the past two years, but he's also been the first or second best back in that same time span.
