thanks again FishinDaddy, this is real cool of you.

they're kinda for showin' and kinda for wearin'. they will be worn a lot, to school and out and about, but not in the woods, i have hiking boots for that. i read briefly about saddle soap and saw snoseal in a google search results list. i'll check em both out and i'll run to the store to get some kiwi polish to keep em shiny hmmm i just did a google search of saddle soap and all the link i read on the first page recommend not to use it... they say it only forces dirt into the leather and its alkalinity is damaging to the leather.

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :

I ain't dancing with no squirrel! > ;D haha is it bad i haven't a clue what you're talking about?

or macerate it, whiten the bones with peroxide, and try to articulate the skeleton! at least do the skull...

i figured gypsy tears would be better... :-/

i got some nice leather boots. they're nice and black. i'd like to keep them this way for as long as i can. i don't really know anything about treating leather to keep it durable and waterproof. after brief reading, i've found you can rub mink oil in to keep it supple and water resistant? anybody have any tips?

55 gallon tank. i have 2 pumpkinseeds, 1 bluegill, and 1 redbreast sunfish. all of them are photoed above.

here's my take on sure set hooks... will i buy a lure because it has sure set hooks? no will i buy a lure because i REALLY gotta have this color and its only available in sure set? sure why not i have not noticed ANY disadvantage to using sure set hooks, and similarly i haven't noticed much of an improvement. what i do with my baits that have two sure set hooks is i take the front one off and swap it with a regular treble (from the tail end of another bait). this way i only have sure sets on the back, as i see no need for them in both spots. i feel like sure sets in the back might help me hook a short striking fish.

some i took tonight: bluegill: pumpkinseeds: redbreast sunfish:

odd you say that, i just took a whole new set of pics of my fish tonight because i realized i didn't have any recent ones. maybe i'll post them and try to get my rep back ;D

yeah thats what i thought!

hmm?

awesome!

if you can get to the contacts look for a "Home" number also check under "In Case of Emergency" in the contacts and see if they filled out any of the information there.

I highlighted the context for the folks that don't know. hahaha thats funny! ;D

ew gross no way. i bet aquarium fish taste like crap. when it ever dies i'm going to remove its otoliths and check em out under a microscope to check out its growth rates.

you mean just 3/4 of a year

yeah right! i'm keeping this thing as long as i can! its got some serious growing potential. just checked my aquarium log and i added the bluegill on january 8, 2009

hard to believe this is the same fish! got it when it was a little under 2 inches now its pushing 6. i don't remember how long i've had it.

i don't know. that makes sense doesn't it? i guess he had already left for school by the time i pm'd him.

He went off to school and left the lure at home.

that. was. awesome.

oh. seems like it may hurt the fish more than it needs to be... pretty mean lookin tho

second one down rocks! nice paint man.
