  1. From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_perch The world record yellow perch (18 in., 4 lb. 3 oz.) was caught in 1865 from New Jersey, and is the longest standing record for freshwater fish in North America.[1] Anglers often refer to large yellow perch as "jumbo perch" or "jack perch". Looking at that one makes me wonder.
  2. Solution found.
  3. The animals are sheltered now, but it is a temporary solution at best. He needs to find a long term solution while the rebuilding happens. It was quite a sight to see all the smoke coming out from the eaves of the barn and then to realize that there were over 20 goats inside and other assorted animals as well. We were fortunate to get the pony out, my other neighbour has to be credited with that rescue, I hightailed it to my house to get proper clothing on after realizing there was nothing to be done until the fire department arrived.
  4. Thanks, see PM.
  5. My neighbour had a barn fire today and needs to find long term temporary housing for a pony, and assorted fowl. Chickens, geese and pigeon. Near hamilton airport area. Any ideas?
  6. I was just looking at this section and was pleasantly surprised to see that there have been no new entries for some time. Are there members of the board that have passed on that are not known about? Not trying to be morbid.

  15. My understanding is that the crown has the option to proceed summarily, or by indictment. A summary procedure would carry a max sentence of two years less a day and is held in a lower level court, while proceeding by indictment will result in an exposure to the maximum sentence allowed by law and is held in superior court. Similar to felony vs misdemeanor in the US. Correct me if I am wrong.
  16. It is with great sadness that we inform the board of Old Ironmaker's presumed passing. While not yet confirmed, it is believed that he has now passed from this mortal coil into the ether of eternity. We will miss you as we now have no-one left to tease about not making dates.
  17. Thanks for the update. You and yours are still in our prayers.

  21. http://www.muskyhunter.com/musky-matters/bass-pro-shops-buys-ranger-stratos-triton-boat-brands/ SPRINGFIELD, MO – Bass Pro Group announced today an agreement to acquire Fishing Holdings, LLC, a manufacturer of fishing boats that include Ranger Boats and the Stratos and Triton boat brands from Platinum Equity. The agreement combines popular fishing boat brands that are recognized internationally. It also creates another connection between two industry leaders, Bass Pro Shops founder/CEO Johnny Morris and Ranger Boats founder Forrest Wood, who are dedicated fishermen, conservationists and entrepreneurs. Years ago the iconic outdoorsmen both began fishing on the White River and White River Chain of Lakes in the Ozarks and even fished together in the first National BASS Tournaments. “This partnership brings added long-term stability for both companies and for the dealer networks that provide customers with quality boats at exceptional values,” said Morris, who also is founder/CEO of Tracker Marine Group. “I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Forrest Wood many years, and I deeply respect him and his family that founded and built a solid performing business with excellent products.” Morris added that: “It’s also important that our companies share comparable cultures and values and are dedicated to manufacturing quality products in the USA.” Following the closing of the transaction, Fishing Holdings will continue operating independently under its existing management at its headquarters in Flippin, Ark., located a two-hour drive from Bass Pro Shops headquarters in Springfield. “We are impressed with the company’s leadership team and performance and look forward to welcoming them to the Bass Pro Shops family,” said Morris. “We are fortunate to partner with Bass Pro Group, which understands the industry and our brands,” said Fishing Holdings President Randy Hopper. “This new alliance will provide synergies that will strengthen our independent dealer base and ensure our continued focus on fishing.” Having grown the business since its origins, Wood also praised the transaction. “I’m excited for Ranger and the team at Fishing Holdings,” he said. “Johnny’s organization is deeply rooted in fishing and dedicated to conservation. He’s made a huge contribution to our sport, and I believe this is a real opportunity to better serve so many dealers and loyal customers around the country.” Both Morris and Wood have for many years generously donated their time and financial resources to support conservation efforts that help ensure a future for fishing by future generations. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Financial terms of the transaction were not publicly disclosed.
