Good, that settles it then. Keep the cat. The cat is happy there. Your daughters love the cat. It's a win win for all including the cat. You'll also have no regrets. Let's face it, you have no other options as far as I can tell. The only thing I could come up with if if that cat could write, you could probably forge a believable suicide note from him.

I can't help you with steelheading but welcome aboard. Looking forward to hearing of your progress.

Great suggestion Larry. I have an older US made 309 that occasionally sees water.

Well, I guess you're right.

Thanks for the update Wayne. Great to see her coming along so well!

All of that being said Paul, LC reels are very useful but if you're buying it for muskie fishing on the Larry or the Ottawa, I think the LC feature limits your choices in quality reels for that application. If you MUST have one, I'd go with Ben's choice, the Tekota. Otherwise, get yourself a quality round reel with low gear ratio and a loud clicker. Also, if you ever want to use the setup for casting, the LC will usually just be in the way. You can usually see the dang bait from the boat when trolling so why the LC? Here's an example: http://www.thenextbite.com/node/1773

Yeah, $500 and no lefties.

I don't want to complicate your life here but I'd buy an FI over an FJ anytime. It's a better reel and it's less money. As far as rods are concerned, I much prefer cork handles so I'd buy up a few of the Shimano rods being phased out. But that might just be a personal preference. Spiel is making my rods now anyhow so I probably won't be helping a retailer much in the rod department.

And anyone who lives in the area and is not at Gagnon's on Dec 1st to pickup as many Compre rods as they can for $49.99 each, is sick.

Senators are moving West....they want to be close to their buddies.

I'm not so sure I'd be rubbing their noses in it.

Another super reel. Who'd have thunk it....only 3 SS ball bearings.

Never base your decision on the number of ball bearings a reel has.

Oops sorry...I was on the Cabela's site.

BPS has them, Rob.

That last pic is just super! Looks like a solid season there for you...as usual. And you're dead on with the S-10s, there's nothing on the market as good as they are. I'll shoot you a PM today. Thanks for sharing.

I'll guess south eastern.

You get to keep your board name.

Made it! woooooohooooooooo Plus I won the bet!

64,999,989 just a couple more!!!

Are you kidding? That crossing is $2300 for a new suspension.

Had no one ever mentioned this to OFAH before the media got to it, Ron?

Yeah....so he stopped off eh Ron....he must be headed east then. He should be here by Saturday then I guess.

Best seller late afternoon would be "Limit of the day". Fileted, skin on and ready to take home.

I have a Stearns and for the number of times I use it...I'm happy with it.
