This year produced my biggest Brook Trout ever caught while the forest burns behind me. 23 1/2 inches. This one will be tough to beat. Another fish that deserves mention was caught by a client of mine on my first ever guiding job. The jaw on this Steelhead was incredible!!

Not really. Just something that came my way that I thought I'd share. I had little info but I agree with the popular opinion here.

Terry's your man here Gerritt. I can make the original photo a little better if I had to but I don't do photo alterations. I'm sure that Terry will fix you up real good when he gets things back together again. In fact, I'm sure that you'll be amazed.

I received this in an e mail today guys. Apparently it's a new world record Buck. This is all the info that I have. "Buck grossed 235 and netted 223 typical, taken in Sperry, Iowa. The buck he is next to on the truck, scores 201" Here's the pics.

Quite the week you're having Joey. I'm happy for ya. Now go and catch some fish with your new prize..

It reads the humidity inside the return duct if installed correctly Rick. Ideally the humidistat should be centrally installed in the living area of the house. If wiring is a problem, it can be installed in the return air duct upstream from the humidifier. This gives a good sample of the overall house humidity but only when the furnace is running. It's also a pain to go into the basement to adjust it.

Wrong Terry. The drum type should be installed on the cold air side with the 6" flex pipe connected to the hot side. The 6" flex pipe sends hot air into the center of the drum and out through the water soaked sponge. It is a very efficient way of adding moisture to the house when installed this way. But it does have it's problems, as discussed above.

Any standing water can produce mold. It should be fine during the winter months, but shut off the water supply during the summer. Clean it out good in the fall before turning the water back on. Replace the sponge pad then too. They're only a few bucks.

Clearly the instructions for that model say to install it on the supply plenum, but the few hundred that I've installed call for installation on the return air plenum.

Yes Gerritt. It should be mounted on the return air duct, not the supply. It's been installed wrong.

Hey, just for fun. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you remember the Original Hollywood Squares and its comics, this may bring a tear to your eyes. These great questions and answers are from the days when "Hollywood Squares" game show responses were spontaneous and clever, not scripted and (often) dull, as they are now. Peter Marshall was the host asking the questions, of course. Q. Do female frogs croak? A. Paul Lynde: If you hold their little heads under water long enough. Q. If you're going to make a parachute jump, at least how high should you be? A. Charley Weaver: Three days of steady drinking should do it. Q. True or False, a pea can last as long as 5,000 years. A.

Which of your five senses tends to diminish as you get older? A. Charley Weaver: My sense of decency. Q. What are "Do It," "I can help," and "I can't get enough"? A. George Gobel: I don't know, but it's coming from the next apartment. Q. As you grow older, do you tend to gesture more or less with your hands while talking? A. Rose Marie: You ask me one more growing old question Peter, and I'll give you a gesture you'll never forget. Q. Peter, why do Hell's Angels wear leather? A. Paul Lynde: Because chiffon wrinkles too easily. Q. Charley, you've just decided to grow strawberries. Are you going to get any during the first year? A. Charley Weaver: Of course not, I'm too busy growing strawberries. Q. In bowling, what's a perfect score? A. Rose Marie: Ralph, the pin boy. Q. It is considered in bad taste to discuss two subjects at nudist camps. One is politics, what is the other? A. Paul Lynde: Tape measures. Q. Can boys join the Camp Fire Girls? A. Marty Allen: Only after lights out. Q. When you pat a dog on its head, he will wag his tail. What will a goose do? A. Paul Lynde: Make him bark? Q. If you were pregnant for two years, what would you give birth to? A. Paul Lynde: Whatever it is, it would never be afraid of the dark. Q. It is the most abused and neglected part of your body, what is it? A. Paul Lynde: Mine may be abused, but it certainly isn't neglected. Q. Back in the old days, when Great Grandpa put horseradish on his head, what was he trying to do? A. George Gobel: Get it in his mouth. Q. When a couple have a baby, who is responsible for its sex? A.

A. Charley Weaver: His feet. Q. According to Ann Landers, what are two things you should never do in bed? A. Paul Lynde: Point and laugh.

Well, snow has a lot of weight to it, and it doesn't drain off of a roof. There's certainly been some weird weather happenings in the past decade or so. And more to come I'm sure. Lake Superior is down 20" right now. And that's a lot of water. Water that is somewhere else on the planet causing major flooding. Strange stuff indeed. Strange, but scary.

They get better with each painting Pam. Your style is unique. Like the others, I give it two thumbs up!!

I'd either take them out to a legal shooting area and use them for target practice, or turn them in to your local police. Either that or phone the police first and ask them what to do.

I'm not in the market, but I have looked at boats and campers on EBay. Most big ticket items are pick up only, so there goes a lot of your savings right off the bat. Time off work, travel expenses and getting through customs, and not to mention that the item you have just bought may have been misrepresented. I buy lots and lots of things from EBay. Lately I've been on a Carhartt craze. I'm buying Carhartt clothing at a fraction of the cost that it would cost here. All new with tags too. Here's an example. Carhartt flannel lined winter pants. About $100.00 or more here. I paid $15.00 plus $10.00 shipping right to my door from Alabama. Brand new with tags. Yesterday I bought lined winter bibs for work. About $150.00 here. I paid $64.00 with shipping. Convert to US currency and I paid about $75.00. Half price. If you know what you want and know what you're looking for, EBay is great. I'd be leary about buying a used big ticket item though.

Bad pics? They're fantastic and the entire report was very refreshing. Thanks for sharing with us.

Subliminal message fishindevil?? Thanks for the comments everyone. Brian, although these are wild Deer, they are very used to people and are quite approachable. There's no need to hide in a blind. In fact, some of these photos were taken from right from inside my truck. There's no need to use a tripod in bright daylight conditions since a very high shutter speed can be used. And, I owe you an e mail. Coming today. I promise!

Here's one more shot that I got off, although through my windshield so again the quality is lacking. It's another fair sized Buck with half of its rack gone. Would this most likely be from battle during the rut? It's too early to shed, isn't it?

That thing would certainly catch Brook Trout where I fish. The bigger and bulkier, the better.

Well, I went back out today with the camera to see if I could get some shots of the big Bucks that I heard rumors of. And it paid off. I saw several big guys today and managed to get a few decent shots. This guy came out of no where and I didn't have time to set up my exposure properly, so it's a bit blown out. I followed him as he strolled through the woods but this was the only good shot that I got of him when he crossed the road. I'm not sure how many points he has. Lots though. These next two shots may be of the same guy, although they were taken over an hour apart and in different areas. He was really awesome looking and posed majestically for me. And the little guys were out as usual. They practically walk right up to you and provide some great photo ops. And Abby went for a run today too. I can't remember what she was focusing on here, but it wasn't a Deer. Probably a stick or something. I don't let her out of the truck when there's Deer around. It looks like we'll have snow soon that will most likely stay for the winter. I'll get out again and try to get some Deer photos in the snow.

I'm sure that most of you guys have seen these at least a few times before, but here's a few that were handy without digging through dozens of cd's and dvd's.

Way to go Spiel.... And great shots everyone!!

Thanks Blyght. I had all of those photos e mailed to me but didn't feel like posting them all. Now everyone can see them.

Mike. I took this shot with a 3 mp camera that was several years old. And I printed an 8x10 of it that came out exceptionally sharp. mp's are only part of the puzzle. The camera that I used for this shot had a 10x optical zoom which really came in handy for this shot.
