Like a vertical hold on a 50" Musky!!!

Good one!

Don't worry CH, repeated exposure to the stupidity will dull your senses...

Nice one - congrats!

I prefer to use the braid, so I add segments. Personal perference....

Thanks Lew - put quite a bit of energy into getting her set-up. She splits duties from chasing chinnies to hunting esox. :-)

I bought the net at my local tackleshop, Tall Tales here in Cambridge. Hey Dave, I thought to myself - look at the cute little gold reel at the back of the boat.....that must be Dave's. Then I noticed it was a Lady's retrieve - so it has to be Scotts!

Here is mine 48" Berts tracks with 8' bar Ratchet rod holders and salty rod holders.

The Tax System - Explained With Beer Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this: The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing. The fifth would pay $1. The sixth would pay $3. The seventh would pay $7. The eighth would pay $12. The ninth would pay $18. The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59. So, that's what they decided to do. The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. "Sinceyou are all such good customers," he said, "I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20."Drinks for the ten now cost just $80. The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?' They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay. And so: The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings). The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings). The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings). The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 ( 25% savings). The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 ( 22% savings). The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings). Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began tocompare their savings. "I only got a dollar out of the $20,"declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man," but he got $10!" "Yeah, that's right," exclaimed the fifth man. "I only saved a dollar, too. It's unfair that he got ten times more than I!" "That's true!!" shouted the seventh man. "Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!" "Wait a minute," yelled the first four men in unison. "We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!" The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up. The next night the tenth man didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill! And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

Great post man - looks like a blast!

Hey Dave - we fished Friday morning and then shut her down to enjoy some pops down by the dock. Saturday was brutal, so we just hung out. Headed home Sunday morning.....too lazy for hockey though, Jedi!

Tinbanger met up with us on a chilly Thursday morning. We headed out and pounded a favourite area to no avail. So we headed east, found a nice environment threw over the boards and KAPOW! Took this little guy off the inside board, trolling a jointed firetiger Believer....so, I believe. It was a pleasure meeting and fishing with you Dave!

Run it in my Yammy and love it!

Where are the riggers? :-)

Nice pics - a lovely day for a boat ride! :-)
