  1. Nice fish, nicer t-shirt, lol. I have a theory on the braid v. mono when jigging, which could just well be me blowing smoke out of my :asshat: but anywho. :blahblah1:

     

    Because braid has virtually no strecth and is more sensitive, when you feel a bite you set the hook too early and pop the jig out of the fish's mouth instead of getting in a good hook set. Whereas with mono, the bite felt is delayed by the milliseconds needed for the fish to get a good grip on the bait and the stretch in the mono allows for a more consistant hook set. I notice I get more fish hooked when jigging with mono or a long lead than with straight braid. Just a theory :dunno:

  2. I'm a happy camper if I don't get skunked. But, on my fishing trip to Gowganda last month, a buddie and mine hit a back lake and landed over 120 smallies in six hours and lost as many if not more. It was literally a bite for every cast, simply incredible. This reminds me, I should write up my report, LOL.

     

     

    Dude, I went to that lake as well. About a 20-30 minute, cab bouncing ride dodging huge jack rabbits in their F-350 supercab listening to Guns and Roses? Awsome lake. I'm looking forward to that report.

  3. I broke a finger just months back. Got it xrayed, but the doc told me a cast is not needed in most cases. Place the splint ON TOP of the broken member and wrap selfadhesive bandage around to fit tight. I am fully certified in first aid and proudly hold the only reported office accident, lol. As a member of the Joint Health and Safety Committee I hope my record stands. Remember to splint on top, 6 weeks and you'll be fine.

  4. You did the right thing doubleheader IMHO. Safety first, no sense in fumbling for a camera when you and yours are put in harms way. Glad everyone was ok and this windbag will get his one day seing as he pulls manouvers like that.

  5. I got skunked that trip :dunno: but then again, I wasn't into the plastics and couldn't get a feel for when to set the hook. It was just a bad year for me. It happens. The smallies were hitting on tube jigs. White with some silver flake sparkle.
