FF, Nice pics once again !!! Good to see you left the background in this time Too bad about your pole but hey,they makem everyday.....besides it was only a Raven....just kidding !!!! Suprised you could still land fish with the 8 foot section..pretty stiff huh ?? Cheers !!!

This gives you an idea of how tall they would be if they stood up on their hind legs...And this is just a young fella that weighed about 700lbs....My first bull was a giant at about 1300lbs.....

Do they float ??

Dave, Glad ya liked that smoker idea...Heres another thought...Sometimes when I'm feeling a little lazy and don't want to go outside to smoke my meat I just simply do up a batch,add liquid smoke and run it throught the dehydrator....I make venison,moose, salmon and rainbow jerky and every other fish speicies you want to put in and it turns out delicious...Great food for when your walkin down the river..Just load up a pocket full in a zip lock and you never half to stop for lunch anywhere just keep fishin... So you don't have to limit yourself to a smoker and the dehydrator is only about 40 bucks last time I checked. http://www.popeilfamilystore.com/dehydrato...CFQOYWAod4UMtJg

Welcome to the site. Nice pics Dave....I also love to flyfish for bronzebacks and or anything else that will take my flies....Check out the link..Great way to keep a smoker just outside your back step,even in a condo...Looks like a garbage can...wait a minute,it is a garbage can....No one will touch it http://cruftbox.com/cruft/docs/elecsmoker.html

Welcome Mark, Nice to have ya aboard !!!!!

Welcome to the OFC.

Yup,got the same problemo...Camera/mike seems to work when I test it but then I go to MSN the mike portion doesn't seem to kick in....So,I turn off the mike on the webcam and use a head set with a mike when I'm on MSN instead....I'm also running XP Cheers !!

Northwood, I had to go to photobucket and upload my avitar pic there then transfer it over to this board and use it as my avitar..That worked for me at the time.... Good Luck !!

Not shure how long it will take Gerritt but in any case hope all goes well for you and it only takes the usual 6 to 8 weeks. Good Luck !!

Sorry to here about the racoon Lew....All we can do is try our best and the rest is left up to greater forces....I'm shure your good deed will be noted by the big guy upstairs.....

Well done Lew. Your going to sleep well tonight knowing you ended his suffering saved his life....Shure he may only be a racoon but he is still one gods creatures and deserved to have another chance at life.I'm just glad you found him.....

SP, Got to give it to ya,You got more nerve than I do.....Great pics and I must agree with Lew..If you were to add a story with your post it would shure be some good reading by the looks of the pics.... Thanx for sharing

Congradulations Lexx !!!!

I'll be there with my son Eric..... Thats 20

Here ya go !!!

Thats just insane Where do I sign up !!!!

If your going to eat minnows I would highly recomend putting them in a brine for 4 hours and then place in a smoker for about 3 to 4 hours....Serve with cream cheese and crackers....This would be beer drinking food so make shure to have at least half a dozen cold ones in the fridge........per person Cheers !!!

I go fishing to escape from the stresses of every day life.....

Geat first post and report with pics even !!!! Welcome aboard !!!

Nice outing Tom.... That spawn shure does look sweet... Oh, and the fish pics and report are awsome !!!! Once and awile its good to let your buddies get in on the action or they feel left out... Cheers !!

Nice catch Glen !!!

That definetely looks like a black widow spider...extremely venomus..and the white puff balls are the eggs sacks she deposited before she died....I would get rid of everything before they hatch..

OFAH

I'm thinkin we are pretty much done with this thread.....
