    ahhh.. memories of the one-handed hair wash.  
     
    you described it perfectly.  i did it shooting a hunting bow.  but my PT person showed me a move that i still use to this day.  bend at the hip.  helps to put your good hand on something.  like a bench.  now hold a very light weight with the sore side.  let the arm dangle straight down and relax.  you'll feel it stretch.  i use a 2lb dumbbell.  but i have used a 28oz can of hominy. hahah..  now let the hand pendulum clockwise..then counter clockwise.  it feels so good!!  just gentle movements as the joint just dangles from gravity.  
     
    when i get that nagging soreness, i go and find a can of hominy.

    Happiness has never come from material goods for me, no matter how I tried. Experiences yes.  A boat experience is difficult to argue.  
     
    do it if you think it’s right.  A bunch of total strangers can’t help.

    are the different weight baits physically the same size?  i really never used them.  i had 3 1/2oz baits, but it didnt work out.
  6. Darth-Baiter's post in Landing nets was marked as the answer   
    i LOVE my net.  just some random net, i extended the handle on with a piece of scrap aluminum tubing.
     
    it has saved me a few fish, boatside.  it has lost a few as well, when i inadvertently get all goofy sideways with net and knock lure loose.  on a kayak, it allows me to settle my mind and breathing by letting the fish sit in the net, in the water.  just that few seconds is good for me.  and the fish stays wet.
     
    here:  right or wrong.  i think if i had  hook in my mouth/jaw.  some giant pulling me up into the air would hurt like a B!!  i dont know how the fish is hooked.  gullet?  dunno.  i just think FOR ME, lifting it to me in a net is better for everything involved.    plus i seem to use the net to fish my cap out of the water more often than what i might consider normal. 
  7. Darth-Baiter's post in Numb butt, need a cushion was marked as the answer   
    I was standing in line at Costco staring at my gallon of ketchup and stack of eggs when I looked up;  there it was.  A seat cushion for office or car. It was $15 I think.  I fished 9 hours straight last week and my butt was happy.  Zero soreness.  No hotspots or swamp-butt.  It’s a memory foam thing that I tied into place with paracord.  It never moves.  I added a lumbar support and my kayak seat is like a throne. 
     
     

  8. Darth-Baiter's post in Car Topping a PDL Kayak? Is it super difficult? was marked as the answer   
    No problem.  People do it all the time. They empty the boat first.  Pedal drive out, all the gear, etc into the car. kayak goes on the roof rack upside down, cam strapped down. Sedans are easy because the roof line is so low.
