me too! Hard to eat 250.00 worth of tackle..

Is it wrong to want a 6" sub? or 6' for that matter? G

I wanna know who won the 6" subway Sandwich! Jared would be so proud to see me eat healthy and stuff! G

Horrible.. I really feel for the parents and the family during this time. G

this might answer your question... http://www.pardons.org/content.phtml?page=08

Like stated above it would depend on the charge and the mood of the customs official. G

LOL Wayne!... I was kneeling On the seat! dang I look short there... I learned a ton! and let me tell you.. the laughs that were had were priceless! somethings are best left unsaid and you had to be there! and for some reason I still have the "clown" tune in my head!! Doo Doo Doo Do do da da doo doo doo da dada... good times and something that will not soon be forgotten! G

Wow what a day!.. after conflicting schedules (due to my work demands) and emails back and forth between Karl Kalonka and I, we finally found a date that worked.. Some of you may remember I won a trip to fish with Team Extreme.. Well today was the day.. and let me tell you they did not disappoint! My morning started @ 4am to meet up with Karl @ the King Rd. Carpool for 7am,(Man was it Nippy out!) we hooked, up did our introductions and off we went to hit up Simcoe in search of Monster Smallies.. While on our way to Simcoe, Karl gave Mark Kulik a call who was already at the ramp untied and waiting for us to arrive to begin our day... I met Mark, launched the boat and off we went. If no one has seen Mark's boat let me tell you.. it is a sweet ride! Now I have to admit I was not much of a Bass fisherman before this outing, Sure I have caught them indirectly.. and have only targeted them on the odd occasion, So I was a little unsure as to what to expect fishing with pros. Without so much as a bat of the eye I was handed a rod and told "Here, Start casting" I should mention it was pretty windy out there today.. Boat control was key here, and Mark kept us on line and into fish! So there I am, Casting tubes into the wind (Did I mention it was windy?) and drifting them letting them bounce off bottom.. all the while admiring the rod I was holding... Man St. Croix Legend Tournament rods are Sweet! and super sensitive.. and here I had an arsenal of them at my disposal!.. I was in fishing gear heaven! Mark was first up with a respectable Smallie... which he graciously said "Here you fight him!" what a powerful species.. I can see why people become addicted to these Green and Brown devils! Karl was up next with a beauty of a fish not long after Marks in between the action we all had a chance to feel one another out and the conversions began.. Let me tell you, these two guys are hilarious, I was afraid on a few occasion I was going to wet my float suit.. Fun does not even begin to describe the day I had.. it was simply amazing! Eventually I was able to tell the difference between bottom and the very slight tap tap of the bass. and landed a few of my own! Wow! Here I am catching Bass with well respected tournament and TV show professionals! I think at the end of the day we went 12 for 16? We had a couple breakoff's etc but to be honest it was hard to keep track, listening to all the banter on the boat, I know a few were released boat side but we held onto a few for pictures, did I mention it was windy? What an experience is all I can muster right now.. I am exhausted and my internal clock is all screwed up (Time change.. lack of sleep), my lips are wind burnt, my cheeks are red... but MAN what an amazing outing! These guys are true professionals and gentlemen, and I would be honoured to be invited back to fish with them again.. Who ever wins their next contest is one Lucky dude! is all I can say Thank you to OFC and Extreme Angler for this awesome experience! Ohhh yeah and I picked up a ton of free Shwag.. including one of the St. Croix rods I was admiring!! Thanks again Karl and Mark for an awesome day on the water! I learned a ton!

Niiiiiice!

Sweet deal!

and a happy one to you too!

I find it funny how Canadians continue to call American money "Greenbacks" The Greenback was/is a completely different currency then the one that is currently in circulation in the USA (Federal Reserve Note) If a news reporter is going to bash our neighbors to the south perhaps knowing what their currency is would be a good idea. G

Looks like us nasty smokers are going to be moved outside at your place Bernie! LOL! Congrats on kicking the habit brother. Say hello to the family for me would yah? G

That makes me chuckle everytime I see it G

Shawn, I will be there for the G2G in Nov. You? G

Zero Possession Limit with a conservation License.... this is where things get gray.. What defines possession? what if the fish dies? cant keep it.. but you cannot let it spoil either.. If you want to fish for Muskie, remove all doubt and purchase the Sports License. G

I have a habit of doing this also... but I try to refrain from doing it with stick baits... especially rapalas.. all I wind up with is the lip! LOL G

Most new OEM systems do not allow the unit to be fiddled with while the car is in motion.. This is a great built in safety feature.. as for the guys with Cell phones, XM radios, GPS Systems and in dash DVD's players in their face when they are driving.. how can you honestly say they are not distracted? Dont even get me started on the chicks doing their make-up in the rearview mirror @ 120km/h G

I think this whole internet thing might just become popular...Perhaps even here to stay.. G

Use correct internet lingo... it is pw3nd Looks like Russell likes Bambie.. G

Thanks for all your input fellas.. I will be looking at a new set of winters... Thanks!

JB... Yes my truck is two wheel Drive.. G

Quick question fellas.. I put on my winter tires.... only on the rear as the rubber on one set is still in decent shape so I put them up front... (I will be getting another 2 winter tires for the front in short order...) But here is my issue.. I have 6 factory rims for my truck.. 4 with all seasons, and 2 with winter tires mounted.. I put the winter tires on the rear.. 235/70/R16 and moved the current tires that were on the rear to the front which were 255/70/16's While I liked the look of the truck with the bigger tires... I only have one set on the front... and the rear tires look awful small back there in comparison to the fronts.. LOL.... the truck does not seem to be level any more... Is my gas mileage affected having bigger tires up front/mismatched tires? Ford suggests the 235/70/R16's... But my non winter tires are larger... They were that way when I purchased the truck (Larger Tires) am I doing myself a dis-service in terms of $$$ (petrol) by keeping a larger tire/mismatched tire?
