This broadcast brought to you by : WORMS! It's worked for hundreds of years. Why stop now?

I'll offset it. Davey, did you know that the Flyers have never lost when leading after two periods?

Ugh. I'm a leafs fan but, this is so Maple Leafs. Win 9 of 11 then play horrible against two of the leagues worst.

Ha! I like it!

So, with winternet in full effect and, me patiently waiting for some safe ice I figured I would chat up the more athletically inclined of us. I remember a little while ago a few board members talking about obstacle course races. Which ones did you like? Which ones are you doing again and which ones are you looking forward to? Last year I got my spartan trifecta which was cool and I'll be looking to get a double trifecta this year. (The more you get, the bigger the medal. My buddies double medal last year was massive) Also heard of a fun little 5k called 'prison break' where you run, do obstacles and avoid 'police' who try to steal your flags (a la flag football) to throw you back in jail.

I wouldn't like fishing if it were like that. Much like Ryu or GSP, I live for the fight.

Oh man that is rad.

I hope McDavid doesn't go to Edmonton. Enough young players are having their careers ruined by going there and not developing properly.

A hitch for my car would be nice. And in the 'impossible but would be great' category. A Rapala R-type left handed ice fishing bait cast combo (i have never seen them left handed and Chris K tells me they don't exsist'

Wow. Leafs pull out another one! I can't believe it.

Wow! Man, this is what I get for saying I'm going to pass on a day of fishing.

Terry Goy. Out of Gilford. Any time I want to introduce anyone to ice fishing, I always rent a but off of him. He puts you on top of more perch you could ever want, drives you out in a concealed sled and gives you an abundance of minnows. And if you need to head in early, you just give him a ring and he's out in 15 minutes. Your son will love it.

I'm not getting my hopes up but, man is it ever fun to watch this team.

Man, you guys are driving me crazy but in a good way. Can't wait to get out on that ice.

And I'd agree with all of it. It was why I'd still see people going 120 after the snowstorm last Thursday.

I worry that when people have Winter Tires they may pay less attention and drive less safe. A lot of times the 'safety feature' causes people to drive worse.

I wouldn't mind the government nannying us if we were rewarded for it. I'll put winter tires on my car if I can tax write off half/all of it. The government keeps telling me not to smoke or drink because I'll go to the hospital at a younger age and spend more tax dollars. Ok fine, I don't. But then how about the government subsidize my gym membership so that I can keep fit and stay out of the hospitals for longer? I can't understand why it only works one way.

Awww man. I'm super jealous. Looks amazing.

My girlfriend really surprised me this summer. I knew she liked fishing but I didn't know just how much. After having a brutal Saturday of fishing on Presquille bay and her getting a bad sunburn I felt horrible so I said 'Sunday we can do whatever you want' She responded with 'Today's fishing was really bad. Let's head out to one of our hot spots tomorrow' I was so surprised and happy.

For Lakers in 50 to 150 ft of water? Man, usually I get exhausted just hauling up my tip-up.

Man, sweet haul. Looks like a good feast coming up too

These remind me of a few others. I'm fishing on the French river with my grandfather who is using a jig, we are getting nothing when all of the sudden he hooks into something big, He reels it up, it pulls out more line, back and fourth for a few minutes before it snaps the line. We figure he must have hooked into a huge muskie. Later that day, I go back to scout out the spot with my snorkel gear, to see where the drop-offs are and how deep. I didn't have the heart to tell my grandfather that I found his jig, hooked into someones waterline. I'm no better. About 5 years ago, I'm working in Dryden and friends of friends tell me they are going to this lake with fishing unlike I have ever seen before if I'd like to come. I jump at the opportunity After about 45 minutes fishing, all of us have our limit of walleye with a dozen beautiful jumbo perch. The other guys are ready to go and I say 'come on. Just one more'. They say ok. Less then a few minutes later I hook into another one. After fighting it for a few seconds I bring up the marker bouy the guy tossed out at the beginning of the day. The guy says 'Thanks. We needed to bring that in' as we head back to shore.

Took me 3 hours to get into work today. Normally takes me 45 minutes. UGGGHHHH!

So many good stories. My top 2 for this year: End of the season, my cousin, grandfather and I are all fishing at my parents cottage, walleye are hitting well and my cousin is cleaning up. On the first day he and I both had success and my grandfather got skunked. So we keep ribbing my grandfather saying he'll have to sleep 'ON DA LAWN" because he didn't catch a fish. Next morning my cousin boats another two and I get another one and we start ribbing my grandfather again. We say to him 'you gotta catch a fish or we won't let you in the car and you'll have to walk home'. Right as we say that his rod bends over and he ends up boating the biggest walleye of the day. Guess the fish must have been listening. This year, I have had the privilege of dating a girl who loves fishing. I introduced her before I left for Alberta and she loved it, so we went quite a bit last summer (except she always out-fishes me). The thing she hasn't gotten used to it waking up at ungodly hours to go fishing. So, one Friday night over the summer, we are at her place and I mention I have to go pick up my new boat in Prequile bay and I have to do some work first along the way. I also mention I'll be going fishing with buddies after we get the boat. She asks if she can come and I say sure but that we will have to wake up at 7am.'No problem' she responds. The next morning at 7am I go to wake her up and shes totally not having it. The conversation goes something like this. 'Come on hun. Time to wake up.' 'unnnnghhhhh' 'Come on. Fishing!' 'Unghhggh' 'You said you were going to come'. 'What is the pointiest, spikey-est fish in the lake?' 'I dunno......... a catfish. Why?" 'I am going to smack you in the face with a catfish' So a few hours later, all of us are in the boat fishing Presquille bay and none of us can buy a fish. I'm at the back of the boat fishing over the motor when I feel a spikey 'tap tap tap' in the back of my head. I turn around and there is my girlfriend. 'Jeremy! I caught a catfish!' Only fish caught all day.
