We hung around for like half an hour to make sure it did'nt come to surface in difficulty like I said when the hook got popped--it backflipped like a rocket My buddy said they're quite tough

OK Boys---I'll be lookin for yur support when I get turfed Now it is coincidence this fish is on it's side---it did a couple rolls near the surface I was kinda excited and on a bright day have a little difficulty seeing thru my viewfinder on my digital camera This fish was lots lively on release

Mercky---he did 8 laps around the boat (not all at once) Circled like a shark----also pulled the boat backwards----(Smokercraft pro Tiller)

Well Maybe---and I can't show you cause the rules While out fishin willys on the wkd---he nailed a dinosaur Would'nt have mentioned cause the rules cept it's size 40 minute fight----65 inch Sturgeon---on a jig with 20 lb braid (6lb dia) Did a rough girth at approx 40 inches---all the websites put it around 130 lbs My buddy who'se fished em all his life says 60 inches is 100lbs on average Got a pic of it beside the boat----never seen anything like it---happily swam away after being unhooked Did a back flip like Free Willy And at 40 minutes---that was all he could do to get it near the boat---did'nt see it for 15 min. Anyway we all get untargeted out of seasoners----but not like this too often---that's why I brought it up---was'nt gonna for a while.

Population and fresh water aside here for a moment---which I know is very important I think it became more than evident when Exxon-Mobile showed the world that Bottom lines were more important than real lives--and decimated an entire community and aquatic life in and around Cordova Alaska Showing how an appeal process can eventually work into fractional compensation even after court rulings So this is where they showed their true colours----dollar bill green So flipping over to Canada Our Gov'ts (Canada and Alberta)--thought--Sure the oil companies are upstanding citizens---they would not willingly mess the place up--and can monitor their own discharges into the environment---and youbetcha---always a passing grade Now enter U of A Dr. D Schindler---who proved that the oil companies were being less than honest with their story of bitumen naturally occuring in the Athabsaca River---when he proved that bitumen does not naturally occur on top of snow Thus according to their data----release a supertanker's worth of oil into the water system every spring run off---eventually making it's way to Lake Athabasca So after and only after they were caught----both levels of gov'ts imposed third party monitoring---jury still out on how effective though?? If they wish to moonscape central Alta---they should spend some of that bottom line and install pollution controls So getting back to the original post----they want us to believe pipelines through sensitive areas are ok----Sorry history has shown too many true colours

You mean glorifying Octomom in a reality show was not a good idea
-
Actually WB---overpopulation with limited reserves---food and water is very much a real concern Re: getting off oil-----every time this comes up this becomes a black or white decision from some---"Just stop burning Gas" Eveyone is quite intelligent enough to know that currently under our processes gas is the driver and we know it's not going away this morning But unless we continue to PUSH for better alternatives---the greedmongers will take the path of least resistance and stay the course---while becomimg rich beyond usefullness and destroying what is yours and mine in the process. And yes much of these pipelines are headin out of country---especially as Canada has ltd refining capabilities.

I normally don't bring this up In the late 1600's my ancestors landed in Conneticut----lived there for some time but staying loyal to England---headed for what would be Canada---you know that 1776 squirmish---fought in that 1812 disagreement Even had a platoon named after them---Jessup Rangers---you can look it up if bored After 1812---they were given lands in the Prescott area for service---even retained to show newcomers to Canada how to hunt and fish and live with the land---(I always said it was in the genes) So fighting for Canada has it's roots in my clan-----It's very hard to watch it being dismantled to make the chosen few wallets fatter Devasting to see what was fought for and was a Canadian source of pride----black What are we going to say when those BC salmon/steelhead waters go the full Exxon Valdez When it hits----then it's too late
-
Well Snidely---you do not really have Grandma'a Conservatives anymore You have the Northern Republican agenda---fear and greed---pushing a dollar driven scheme to suck as many $$$$ as possible today cause they won't be around to answer for it tomorrow---leaving our kids the mess I watched the interview with the Albertan who'se land is now black with oil----needless to say devasted
-
Well with ANOTHER pipeline break sending 3000 barrels of crude into a trib heading for the Red Deer River---I'm not feeling secure about a Northern Gateway pipeline doing the same in those crystal clear rivers across BC This Cons Mess we have keeps saying we need to build the economy----never saying what's the cost???? Just today I'm driving in Ottawa----come to a 4 way stop---with your typical octagon red sign---white letters saying STOP but underneath painted Harper---all 4 corners They want to keep pushing this lunacy in this budget-----removing environmental Protection to the point that Brian Mulroney is now up for sainthood---for his actions as a PC PM by comparison Again I'm not leaving this world better than I found it for my kids
