I prefer to share the experience with my dad or a friend, but there's nothing like being the only one on a lake in my kayak on a nice day.

Exactly. Physics says the balls should have been exactly the pressure they were when measured, without being tampered with. If they were tampered with they would not have fallen within that range. Simple as that. Unfortunately the court case is whether or not Goodell has the power to punish Brady regardless of guilt, and since the CBA was poorly negotiated, he does.

I think the worst instance of getting something caught in a fishes mouth was when I caught a pickeral and was holding it off the side of my kayak with some grippers. Well.....it shook hard and I dropped the grippers and watched the fish slowly swim away with the grippers still in it's mouth. I hope it got free from them but those grippers work pretty well so I have a feeling it didn't.

I usually don't bring a ton. A couple plano boxes stuffed into a small backpack along with whatever I need to deal with a fish once I catch it (pliers, scale etc.). At most I bring 2 rods. The minimum I bring is my hook box and a few bags of worms along with one rod.

Hey guys, I just joined the forum and thought I'd say hello. I'm in college right now but will be fishing much more over the summer. You might see me out on some ponds/lakes in central mass in my kayak.

I have both. I have definitely given the spro less time on the water but they are much more durable than the pad crashers. Although I must say I actually prefer the pad crashers I think. I always seem to have a better hook up ratio with them since they are made out of a thinner/softer material and compress easier. I have a slight tear in mine near the nose but it still works fine. I think you will be fine with either. The spro will probably last you longer but they also cost more so you just have to decide whether it's worth it to you to pay the premium for the longevity.

Hello. Just joined the forums, there's a lot of great information being shared on here and I just wanted to contribute some of my own experiences as well so I made a account. I'm a college student in Massachusetts and I've been fishing as long as I can remember with my dad (I know many of you guys got me beat my multiple decades though ). I primarily fish from my kayak or the shore when I am by myself. I look forward to sharing and learning information with you guys. Tight lines everyone.
