sorry to hear you had to do that Brian.

I throw eggs and then say 'sorry, I didn't know it was you' after...

"ever bumed a stump?"

after your dinner, come by for a fire. that is if we can get one lit... lol

I don't switch hit and I'm NOT a catcher!

don't know as on mono or floro it may cause too much friction and make the knot week. Wet it no matt what though before you snug it up

good to hear the bite is on but watch out for that "skipper" fellow. he might try and pick your perch pocket...

we might have a bed still if needed Wayne. Not saying who's bed but I'm sure Bitsmith2 and Linc are looking for company...

Oh GAME ON Peter! i just need the side of meet (to be smoked) 24 hours in advance so I can let it sit in the brine. PS, the wood is apple and black cherry...

but how do you "win your bait" there?

AH HAHAHAHA. your reports are making me miss it already save me some would ya, we can sit out back and have a beer (or 8) and fire up my smoker for one of those nice cromers... yeah, like I'll teach you something about cooking...

nanofil isn't bad Dave and you MUST use a double loop when making a palomar knot to you lure. it's white as white can be too but it's ok. it casts well but I don't see it casting farther (12LB nanofil vs 20LB spiderwire) then my normal braid.

Um, call me tomorrow AM LOL, nice fish and great combo!

good luck Wayne!

why not keep that one the way it is so you can do the trips to other small lakes and make a bigger one as the perm hut?

I heard this playing in Tim's this morning... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsJHtzdvfKg

fixed it...

the line fraying will also depend on what you don't see and how you fish. let's say you are fishing a 20' deep part of a lake that has some rather strong weed growth (plants at about the 8' tall point) and you are dragging a lure through it. I wonder how much damage that will do to your line rubbing on all those weeds? also, rocks and zebra mussels as well. if you fish downed trees, the same question, how bad is the line getting beat up? I look into what I'm fishing with and how before I say something like it 'frays a lot' because you (everyone) and I don't fish the same way. I look at what/when/where/how when I give a review on something because your Subaru might not drive like my Subaru does even if they are the same car made 2 days apart. I look at shape of the line because it helps in casting farther if round and how often I have to re-tie because of how I fish. other gear like rods and reels are not much of a factor now will all the new gear because the new $20 rod is using 1 to 2 year old technology from the $100+ rod the same company makes. just check on your gear to make sure that it's not damaged... there, that's my 2 cents for ya...

glad to see he was happy about it. now what about the other winners?
