Watermelon?
i never grow watermelon. not enough garden space. but how i choose a watermelon. i look for heavy for it's size. and i look for a big spot where it sat on the ground. i think bigger means it was on the vine longer. my dad looked for bug scratches. hahah..and i see people thumping them.

What's a better knot for fluorocarbon?
the double SDJ is a great knot. the only downside is that the three tag ends act like a pitchfork and grabs grass.

You ever hire a complete stranger to watch your animals at your house while you are away?
i just did hire a lady to watch my cat and dog. wasnt cheap, and she drank all my beer and left me some super sweet canned margaritas. bleech.. she also did ALL her laundry. hahha..i bet she was washing her drapery. my garage garbage can was full of lint and my detergent bottle was almost empty. whatever. my cat is a PIA, and my dog needs some management. she did great and my dog loved her. and she left the house spotless.

Jerkbait Help/ Advice
awesome!! did you vary the pause? i think most of my hits are on the pause. one time i paused for like 20 seconds. felt like an eternity. but they slammed it. i think the slow slow float ticked them off.

water temp- how hot is too hot?
my friend told me this. he feels fish are super predicable when it is Africa hot. plant shade. we punch for them under mats. my crappy fish finder cant see the thermocline.

Wind, Whitecaps and Smallmouth Bass!
25 mph winds in my waters make it look like the ocean. yours is surprisingly kinda calmish. but fantastic job. positioning is a chore, and good thing you were in an Outback. great for waves.

Kayak Tournament Fishing - Torqeedo or Xi3?
maybe. i have seen him about. but no. i saw another tourney guy. he was running enough batteries for livescope, a motorguide up front and a torqueedo out back. bigass PA 14. i bet his rig weighted 250lbs+. i was on Clearlake, picking up an occasinal bass with a drop shot. he asked, "where are the fish and how are you catching them?" "dont you have livescope?" "yea, i suck with it". hahah his boat was legit. he came from across Clearlake. that is a long haul.

well. sorry you paint with such a general wide brush. my pet store was badass. top notch and we had a deal with the all animal vet next door to take our emergencies. i was in the reptile section, but i helped cut veggies everyday for the other groups. they never helped me with the reptiles. good luck.

Daiwa 21 Zillion SV TW 1000P
i really have to pause and carefully read the specs on a reel sold in Japan. AsianPortal appears to be sold out. i'll keep searching after my mid morning meetings. but to be clear, this is the 7:1 ratio one right? right handed? it is this reel or the Shimano Bantam. i am not kidding myself. i will own both by Christmas, i am sure. i like to answer my own question "bantam vs Zillion?" anyways.

rabbit? when i was in college i worked at a pet store. a neighborhood pet store. we would board rabbits (and birds, snakes, etc). no dogs or cats. we sold rabbits so we had a resident expert that kept them alive. i would call pets stores that sell rabbits. they have to feed their own rabbits and care for them..i bet they board rabbits.
