AKRISONER

Pete, im going to have to agree with your statement...as painful as it is, the scenario we ran together was much more enjoyable and rewarding (at least for me lol) especially because i was 30 hours deep into the hunt by the time i got one. It might be a bit more painful to catch one instantly and then have narry a nibble for the next 9 hours.

i was having the shakes and sweats

my spidey senses are tingling!

Culture of the game is a hard one to break.

personally id still rather haul in smallies on the bay then fish 60 hours for one ski on the bay...but thats just me. Personally I am still in the mentality that one day while tossing big baits for trophy pike a bigger ski is gonna cross paths with me. Nice catch though! The cleanest skis come outta the bay thats for sure.

ugh...yet another year of disappointment here....I was tasked with turning the lights off in our office space at 11 (the lights are in the hall shared with another company *listen up canada* Cough) so out i went to turn the lights off I hit the switch and the lights go off in our shared hall...everything went smoothly, i went back to my desk to observe 2 minutes of silence, only to have it broken 30 seconds in by employees from the company across the hall yelling "why are the lights off hahahahhahahahahahhaaghahahahhahahahahahah blah blah blah blah" and to turn our lights back on inside our office. Wow.

things so fat it wont even take a cut of pork to make sausage, nice meal you got there

jeez Jose Reyes in rough waters... Seems like that trade outta Toronto did some serious damage to his psyche

Mutually Assured Destruction makes the world go round

its pretty pathetic at work, i hear a lot of folks talk about how the younger generation is not in touch with the true meaning of remembrance day, but to be honest its always the people in their 40's at my work that continue typing away and talking when the lights go off for 2 minutes at 11. Im not sure if its a generational thing, because when i was in school nearly the entire day was devoted to an assembly with a vet present. Unfortunately I have to work (also agree it should be a national day of devotion) but im lucky that I get to watch the jets fly by over city hall in toronto from my desk on the 8th floor. As some others have mentioned, there is even more to the war than the soldiers, many people were stuck doing whatever they could do to survive. my great gradnmother's sister was murdered in cold blood during the german occupation of poland in world war 1. She was 13 years old and watched her little 8 year old sister get shot in the head...just horrific.

find myself going to bass pro simply because the sail in vaughan is in a stupid location. Id much prefer to shop at sail, but taking a 15 minute driving detour on highway 7 crap show isnt worth it. Who came up with putting a store beside the highway nowhere near any local off ramps?

pops has a symmetre, thing is as smooth as butter. Big fan for sure.

ive been wanting to river fish for years and the complete ish show still scares me off. Ive also said that I think fishing licenses should cost 500 dollars a year and be strictly enforced...but ill probably catch even more flack for that one!

interesting pattern you picked up on there. Ive read a few articles talking about male smallies making a one week trip back to the spawning beds in the fall...perhaps this is the result! its all a matter of timing i guess! nice job

Are the Kast gloves similar to say "mechanix" gloves that you get at canadian tire...ive heard some reviews that say they are somewhat similar to that...I am mostly concerned with using a spinning reel with the gloves on...is the line pinch to cast still possible with the gloves on.

nice job, that water looks cold!

If every officer had this kinda of day You would literally pay all of their salaries for a year in 2 weeks time at that rate...jesus

Joey, i grew up in Northern Manitoba, and have a place in the Parry sound district, i know a thing or two about bears. I wouldnt be so jaded if I didnt consistently see poaching occuring everywhere be it on the lake or with year round deer hunting In this case you are going even further by encouraging normally honest people to make a judgement call, you can say bears are easily distinguishable, but the fact that a bear has cubs with it or not something you would find out until after you shoot in some cases. Trust me I am 100% pro hunting, but the thought of killing a mother and leaving the cubs to starve is just a bit too far, especially when you are trying to put this under the pretense that its to reduce the problem bear population. im guessing the majority of bear hunting isnt occuring within a 5 km radius of town.. Maybe only hunt males in the spring? Much like the deer hunt used to be prior to the doe tag initiative.

still not sure why this cant be done on every major tributary in southern Ontario...the fines would easily pay for the officer's time.

please let me know how they are...if someone finally gives a waterproof glove a good review i will go out and buy them immediately.

what this means is that a bunch of idiots will probably go out and shoot a bunch of female bears with cubs and then run away leaving the dead bear and its cubs to starve...cant say i agree with this one at all. How in the hell is a CO ever going to enforce the fine for shooting a bear with a cub when the guy that shoots it will most likely just run away. I think this is ridiculous. Trying to alter the bear-person interaction through unnatural means is ridiculous in the first place. Stop putting your hand in everything and let nature sort it out. Humans are the problem here, not the bears.

rain suits with the zip in jacket liner option are the bomb...i use my FXR floatex liner inside my cabellas jacket, it fits almost perfectly and turns my rain jacket into a winter jacket.

this is awesome, i thought i was the only crazy guy trying to talk to animals while fishing. I talk to loons all the time while out in the boat. They make good company some evenings.

guys, dont overfill your oil, it puts a pile of pressure on your seals...you are better off running a little below the max line than over. When you overfill your oil, you get oil blowing through the seals and into combustion...which is not good on all accounts. You can actually severely damage your car doing this.
