Who doesnt like watchin dudes, woman and whatever you call yourself beat each other in the head repeatedly rocking your brain all over the place and then face plant into the floor of the ring. I like jake paul, he has a documentary out about how he got into boxing stemming from his youtube channel. It was a good watch.

I use 20 lb suffix braid river fishing next to the dam and catching a big muskie, catfish, and fat heavy buffalo head in current i get dig in, its notable on next cast, no big deal.

Yes for my wife and I, we bank fish and if we break a rod we walk back to the car and break out a spare which has happened twice in 4 years. The Berkley Cherrywood has become my all around rod and she uses the Ugly Stick because she is the one who broke the 2 previous non ugly stick rods.

Vikings are on the phone.

I am knot changing nor experamenting with any nots, i am palomar all the time and dont ever worry about it.

more uniform news, smaller letters for names.

There are 2 dams i will be fishing this year connected to South Dakota lakes, 1 is coming off of lake Traverse called Reservation dam holding water in Traverse and emptying into Mud lake. Mud lake has White Rock dam holding water back from flowing into the Bois De Sioux river which flows north, eventually flowing into the Red river which runs its way north into canada. I will fish the Minnesota side not the south dakota side as that would require me buying a SD license. what lake did you book on?

Oh Scheels, why are you going backwards on us. The scheels branded ball headed jigs are more expensive with less jigs per package than Eagle Claw jigs at Wallmart. Example, the scheels 1/16 oz ballhead jigs cost 2.99 for 8 jigs in the package. The Eagle Claw at wallmart cost 2.42 and 10 jigs per package regular price. I was at wallmart the other day and bought 5 packs of different colored 1/16 oz eagle claw jigs on sale for .50 cent for pack of 10.

Hey@Log Catcherdid you throw the person a few cents into the tip jar?

Supposed to hit 59 today in fargo, loaded the car and headed to a dam south of me with some live fathead minners to see if anything is bitin.

how about college fishing teams, any them boys makin nil money?

Went and found an old leather belt hanging in dads closet so i stroped my rapala knife today. Now i must notify @TnRiver46that i didnt purchase an amazon strop.

Not a real leather belt, only the fake pleather belts. I was at a 2nd hand thrift store today and looked at an old weight lifters belt that was marked at $10.00 and thought about buying it as the inside leather was medium smooth.

This topic has now brought me to amazon to search and buy a strop, i am glad that @cyclops2started this topic as i never understood when watching old westerns the barber was running the straight razor blade up and down a length of something which turns out to be leather. My wife should be happy at the differance in the blade sharpness. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07TWMRC15/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A312E2U64V7XLE&psc=1

When this batter comes to the plate he will allready have a 2 ball count. This is the original picture taken of the giants player before the pic was photo shopped to hide this.

What Stropping Does At this point switch from a superfine hone-grit paper (1500 plus grit) to a leather strap, belt, or section of a belt, called a strop. The fine sandpaper hones, and the leather strops. Strop with the same back and forth motion, strop the blade’s edge against the leather. This action bends the now unseen burr back and forth against the leather and the burr finally breaks free. The edge thickness is now just paper thin or less. So “paper thin” doesn’t sound like the edge would bear up during use, being this thin, right on the very pinnacle of the blade’s edge—but it does. With removal of the burr the edge acquires maximum sharpness and can be re-honed repeatedly without subjecting the blade to recurring sharpening cycles with lower grit sandpaper. This maintains the thin-and-sharp element of your blade. Choosing A Strop Make your strop from a strip of leather belt (10-inches long) glued to a bit of yardstick or lath material. Glue a strip of 800-1500 grit wet-n-dry sandpaper to the other side for a hone. The same exact motion is used on the leather side of the strop stick. When the smith is “into” the motion it is similar to a continuous figure-8 movement. Most of the time the leather is enough to restore the blade’s edge without using the sandpaper side of the stick. How To Strop Stropping is a low-angle slap and slide motion. The leather actually sharpens the microstructure of the blade’s edge. It 1) bends the burr back to a sharp edge or 2) bends it back and forth till it breaks, like bending a wire coat hanger back-and-forth, revealing a new raw edge. Visualize a barber in an old-west, cowboy movie slappin’-n-slidin’ his straight razor on a big leather strop. Slap-n-slide your Frontier blade on the 800 to 1500 grit black W/D sandpaper 10 to 15 times then on the leather the same number of swipes. When your edge dulls you can often just strop with the leather, forgoing the hone altogether, in the restoration of a keen cutting edge. After stropping, if your knife edge isn’t near razor sharp, go back to your wet-n-dry-sharpening action with the higher numbered sandpaper grits (400, 600, 800) then strop again. Testing The Edge Feel the edge with your thumb, perpendicular to the edge. Never run your thumb or fingers vertically up or down the blade. It will cut. With time you’ll be able to tell in an instant various level of sharpness with just your thumb. With time you will feel the burr and know the angle of any blade with just a touch of your thumb. Another sharpness indicator is the use of an old leather belt or scrap of leather. Almost any “sharp” knife can cut a sheet of paper but stiff leather is the true challenge. First, use a knife of known sharpness. Cut a bit from the leather. Note the force needed to peel off a few pieces of leather. Use the same piece of leather on subsequent blade edges you sharpen in the future. By comparison, the quality of those blades’ sharpness can be gauged.

My wife does all the cleaning of the fish we take home, crappie, sunnies and walleye. She likes to use the old rapala knife and always says how dull it is and will sharpen it against the rock she is cleaning the fish on, she claims this helps it some. I use the stock supplied sharpener to sharpen before every trip and also use another pull through sharpener designed just like the rapala but more aggressive stone as it leaves shards of metal behind. Wife is philipina and she doesnt want to use a cutting board even though we own one designed for fish with the clamp to hold the tail she always uses a flat rock by the river.

The DAYTONA 500 will remain on schedule to begin at 4 p.m. ET on FOX. NASCAR today announced that the NASCAR Xfinity Series United Rentals 300 has been postponed to Monday night, approximately one hour after the DAYTONA 500 (approx. 9 p.m. ET). .

This really stings the catchers mit for us oriole fans. Pitchers and catchers reported to camp for the Orioles today, but report date has brought unwelcome news for O’s fans. General manager Mike Elias announced to the team’s beat writers this morning that right-hander Kyle Bradish has been diagnosed with a sprained ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow (X link via Danielle Allentuck of the Baltimore Banner). He’s already received a platelet-rich plasma injection and will begin a throwing progression tomorrow, but he’ll open the season on the injured list.

"In other important news of the day from the super bowl parade" Elijah Smith, an 8th grader from Dallas and a mega Chiefs fan, gave Kelce the mask after the pair took a picture together, according to NBC. But in the confusion of the team’s win, he never got it back. “I gave him my mask and then he dropped it and then picked it back up,” Smith told the outlet Thursday. “Then I got a picture with him wearing it and then I just hung out next to them for five to ten minutes, they were dancing and everything.” Smith and his friends lost sight of Kelce in the crowd after the picture, and he never got his mask back. “I saw videos on Instagram this week of him wearing it at the next afterparty he went to, so he clearly never took it off the whole night,” Smith said. Smith and his parents, Thad and Sarah, say they need their good luck charm returned before the start of next season. The family knows that the mask belongs to their son because of one distinct detail: a massive autograph from Chiefs player Trent McDuffie from last year’s Super Bowl afterparty is on the side.

How can the police be responsable? they dont know how many dingbats are gonna be carrying a heater let alone identify them. The incident commander took the blame as any smart person would or else be burnt at the stake. This is just the way things are in the world today.Here is a good video of 2 regular folks tackling a suspect. Might have to copy and paste link.

Salvation army, tonight on v-day they gave out 2 slices of white bread instead of the normal 1 green moldy one.

I am to cheap to buy flowers, i should buy plastic roses and just reuse them every year. I recall when in my bar drinking years the nite clubs i was at had woman walking around selling roses and would approach us guys when we were sittin with our dates really puttin us on the spot to buy. Never once did i buy a rose. Probably why i went home alone most nights.
