AKRISONER

fun game last night...gonna miss the jays when i move out west, lucky to say ive already been to 5 games this year!

lol oh what a debate you have started! For me it 100% depends on what I am throwing and what time of year it is. On Georgian bay you are guaranteed to run into 30+ inch pike every single time you fish regardless of what you are fishing for. I generally run 20lb fluro leaders for bass fishing for this exact reason. At the same time, I hooked into a very large pike this winter and it proceeded to cut me off at the hole. One late headshake as we tried to get her through the hole and that 20lb leader was toast. Ive also seen a 20+lb pike landed on 8lb mono... If I am simply fishing around for whatever in the spring with cranks, ill toss a 20lb fluro leader and it will handle anything that a smaller pike can throw at it. if you are tossing big gear for monsters, then ya 80lb fluro leader is the way to go. You wont get cut off by a pike using an 80lb leader...id challenge anyone here to tell me they have been bit off by a pike using an 80lb leader. 100+ is just insane.

dont forget the seafoam and premium fuel!

bang on!

ive always loved how you can buy a boat for peanuts, but if you want the motor to drive said boat you need a mortgage

40 inch pike is also not a small fish

nice job, fyi a 31 incher is ok to lip but if you catch anything over 10lbs dont lip them like that, it breaks their jaw and kills the fish. You can still use jaw clamps, but you have to support the weight of the fish with your other hand. Practice your gill plate grabbing and you can avoid all of it all together! If you kept the pike then whatever! Yum!

lmao the exact same went through my head when they got it to 3 points...i said to myself holy crepe this is the leafs all over again!

lots of edmonton bashing...does everyone forget that mcdavid only played half the season and at his pace would have been 4th in scoring if he played a full season? Chillllll Their defence sucks, but so does Toronto's Their goaltending is some of the worst in the league...but so is toronto's give it time people. Go Leafs Go as well!

wow even more depressing, i looked into where they were actually fishing and then showed my dad the show, and sure enough he and a buddy used to fish the same lakes in Toba every June.

palomer all the way, its also great for tying drop shot hooks to line.

sounds like they are in the same place the pike are hanging out was seeing piles of them in the shallows two weeks ago.

one of my all time faves, little brother

how shallow are we talking?

anyone care to give a brother some tips? I still havent solved the spring walleye bite in 14...been fishing it a long time and spent a lot of time getting skunked. Depths, structure? anything ? I can usually catch them come may 24, but the opener has always been a mystery for me.

snow in the near north country today. Mom's up in Pointe au baril and they got 6 inches of snow

personally, at this point in our economy, i would be stearing away from anything in the manufacturing and resources sectors unless you are up north in the mining industry...residential or nothing at this point

i might be taking your comment wrong now...but in no way am i bashing on the trades, as anyone with their ticket easily makes way more money than me. Hence why i wish I went into them myself! I still might if the cards work out right, but the 1st and second year as an apprentice would be rough, after that totally smooth sailing.

sorry i think people misunderstood my comment about starting in the trades. They are great jobs and it is never too late to start one. The problem is that I dont know if i could manage the pay cut required in order to start out. Thats what makes it tough. Owning a house requires me to have steady good income coming in. Itd be very very tight for the first couple of years. Still a consideration though if I can get things rolling along nicely enough I might take the plunge. You also need to have someone willing to take you on!

ahahahhaa yessssss great comments iron the whole blondie thing was that she was hanging out with some new york cats that were in the midst of creating hip hop so she went out and recorded it and brought it to the mainstream. Iron you gotta know Run DMC right? I mean they were jamming with Aerosmith

well done guys, and kudos to Mr. Pete...,literally one of the nicest fellas ive met in my entire life!

congrats mike, similar situation here, i started as a kid with a basic education taking customer service calls. Now i am a senior compliance officer and I put in a request to see if they would let me move to British Columbia and they said yes!

sorry dont post on weekends, but guys basically I realize now i should have taken a trade, but its too late im too far into my career to take one. The reason for this is that I was outright guided by the school system to not go into the trades. Unless you were a "dummy" and taking applied courses, you were outright encouraged to do anything but become a tradesman...and that is so wrong its disgusting. what worries me even more is that now a large group of tradesmen are the druggiess and losers from highschool because all of the kids that actually tried in school were told not to take trades. Incredible really. You could be failing school, but the trades was the back up...thats not right at all!

hate on 36 all you want, but i can tell you right now that 90% of rappers in the game owe their careers to these guys...they have their place its just not a sound thats for everyone. A lot of people didnt like Outkast either...now you realize how significant they are. PLEASE TELL ME YOU GUYS HAVE LISTENED TO SECTION 80?????

trust me guys. i would have loved to have taken a trade but its not as easy as you think. I looked into trying to get into the electrician or plumbers union and its basically impossible unless your dad/uncle are already in the union. Dont even get me started on how corrupt the education system is though...oh boy let me just say that it was straight forward told to us in highschool that if you were smart you would take University level courses, go to university and get a job...and if you were dumb, then you took applied math and would go into the trades... I took university math and it ruined my grades, i sucked at it 8 years later, 50% of the people that i know that went to university and had good grades are working menial jobs, meanwhile 100% of the dummys that took applied courses and went into the trades are making fantastic money and loving life. One of the most succesful guys i know nearly failed out of school cause he was terrible at it and had a learning disability, now hes 28 making 150k a year...go figure. I have many regrets in that regard and i actually blame the corrupt education system that was forcing us into useless college and university courses to inflate peoples pockets for the problem
