That's a big fish.

More of a rugby ball.

Lots of people without power, but maybe not much else. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/ontario/wild-storm-knocks-out-power-for-25500-ontarians/article2141271/

I bet you had some fun watching him bring it in too.

My perception (take that for what it might be worth) is that after a tornado they tend to issue watches/warnings a little more readily for a while. They run the risk of people not taking the warning seriously though, so they are darned if they do, and darned if they don't.

Wow! Sometimes the truly big ones are not that nice to look at, but that is a beautiful fish.

ttt Strange it's not that "normal" tornado like weather ie hot and humid. Oh well all my tackle is in the basement anyway, maybe I'll spend the afternoon organizing.

The mind set of this falls first year post secondary students: http://www.beloit.edu/mindset/2015/ The Mindset List for the Class of 2015 Andre the Giant, River Phoenix, Frank Zappa, Arthur Ashe and the Commodore 64 have always been dead.

The type and age of the building you're in can make a big difference. The hight of the building and how high you are in the building comes into play. The "bedrock" that the building is on also matters.

Not sure if this has been brought up, but is the drag working properly? Even the best reel can be made to feel cheap if the drag is worn or not working.

I didn't feel it here in Barrie, I was on the ground floor though, Stelic, on the fan, mentioned it while it was happening. That's twice he has been on air during a quake.

Jack's letter for Canada, writen Saturday August 22, 2011. http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/story/2011/08/22/pol-layton-last-letter.html

Bernie, Bernie, Bernie.

Nice Lew. Thanks for taking the time and for the background info.

Nice. Did misfish think it was Friday? Sorry Brian, I couldn't help myself.

Do we win anything if we can pick the two guys who didn't have to go out to buy a Friday shirt?

And that is why we will sit, fishless, in a cold wet boat for hours, if not days.

My wife was in the front.

Well today was the day to finally take my son out in the canoe for a short fishin' trip. He's just past 2 and a half now and I figured I was ready. We launched from Centennial Beach on Kempenfelt Bay because of the easy beach area for the little guy. After it was established that he wasn't going to try to jump out, or throw a fit, I set about trying to coax a panfish or to from the depths. There was some concern he would drop my ultrlite combo into the abyss. And despite expert advise on not reeling the fish right up to the tip-top he was no match for the expert. No worries about holding on the the fish. Although he was more interested in playing with my spare paddle in the water. Great day.

I was watching a bit of the Bills preseason game on the weekend. Turns out timmies is the official bla bla bla to the Bills. And they position themselves as a café and bakery down there. Who knew?

We leave in about 3 weeks. Can't wait. Thanks for taking the time.

Ya! This Chris Little guy too sounds like a "foreigner" to me: http://www.mindentimes.ca/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=1396590&archive=true James Nelison is actually is a "foreigner" (from the US, their tricky foreigners, 'cause they look like "us") http://www.rainyriverrecord.com/node/8487 This "foreigner" got to be a Peterbough City councilor http://www.thepeterboroughexaminer.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=3214171 Point one: "foreigners" are not the only people breaking the law. Point two: Just 'cause their name is not John Smith it doesn't mean they are not Canadian. Point three: When someone starts a statement with "I don't mean to sound racist" it usually is a racist statement.

Try- Something that thumps: Colorado spinner blades Noise: rattle baits, BBs in plastics Bright colours.

Canadian tire?

The free spool/thumb down for hook set option works well. I also have a baitcaster with a flippin' switch that I use more for bottom bouncing and trolling for walleye then flippin' for bass. Handy for the boat pilot.
