Some one really needs to explain to this reporter basic math and how averages work

Bowling balls too

The whole scenario makes me think he is known to the CO's with the fish in the freezer coming into play, repeat offender perhaps and got the book thrown at him, otherwise it does seem a bit overboard.

Think it is a 7 cu.ft. Woods freezer in the basement, my sister gave it to me as a house warming present when I bought the house in '84, they had it for a few years and went bigger . It is still going, probably 40 years old now.

High school friend's parent had a place at the end of Dillion Road back early 60's, went to Franklin Island a few times, as I still recall spare props, shear pins and a kicker would be a very good idea in those waters edit: also remember I first saw a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers there on the island.

Didn't affect me, I only turn my cell on Tuesday mornings when I do the weekly grocery shopping during the seniors hour at RCSS.

Was lodged at " The Biars " at Jackson's Point for a couple of months on a summer job, caught some bass and pike around the mouth of Black River shore casting, would have been the summer of '71.

I was referring to the Gobies eating the unprotected Musky eggs, should be an issue everywhere not just on the Larry.

But wouldn't Goby predation be a factor everywhere Musky and Goby co-exist ?

Why is this population having a difficult time co-existing with Gobies ? while other populations seem to be doing OK with gobies or am I missing something.

Spent many days at that camp going to university, 2 weeks spring camp every year '69-'73, forest surveys stuff and land surveying and other forestry stuff, hiked over most of it, climbed the ranger tower. I never had a rod but do recall some guys getting some small specs in the creek that dumps in Nora right at the school.

I use a different grip on a baitcaster handle when casting as compared to retrieving and reeling, usually palming the reel in an upfaced left palm and reeling with my right hand, but then again I learned back in the old offset pistol grip days.

From my memory, once the season opens the better fishing is upstream from the mouth area, we always fished above the 401 , especially in the Canton area staying away from the zoo at Sylvan Glenn. Sucks if you want to boat but shouldn't effect river fishermen.

I recall seeing a lot of oldtimers in the 50's early 60's when spinners were becoming popular, cast a spinner with their right hand and then switch the rod to their left and reel backwards with the right with the reel sitting on top of the rod, talk about AFU. 🤣 edit: sometimes the reel was on a offset pistol grip handled baitcast rod

The way the flu shot was explained to me was they make an educated guess as to which variant will be the dominant strain this year in advance and make that vaccine, some years they get it right then like last year I got the shot just before Christmas and mid Jan. came down with the worst I've had in years. I suspect the yearly covid shot shot will work about the same with the variants and future mutations, good luck .

Saw this, interesting and thought it well done , it is truly very simple . I would guess all makes are very similar

on a lighter note

Took Forestry at U of T , 1969 to 74, most of the photos here are from that period, watched the Robart's Library being built out my residence window during that time, Yorkville was still hippies , coffee houses and music, they were breaking ground for the CN Tower, would catch Gord at his yearly Convocation Hall concert and even got to see a young Murray .

I have seen when some guys cut it down, they used a hole saw to put a large hole opposite the through the hub exhaust, looked like a good ideal I thought for cooling

Unless things have changed since I last fished Lake O., 2.4 mph is slower than I ever trolled , 2.75 was the usual starting point.

About the age of 30, which was 40 years ago I came to the conclusion that for mono over 10 pound or any trolling , level wind reels were the better choice.

524 was my clock number as well, much smaller place

Actually when the flyers come weekly from the grocers, they have the price per pound in large bold type and the metric in fine print. Most stuff is still packaged in pounds but they call it 454 grams now. The best is the frozen burgers from Costco, you can get 1/4 , 1/3 and 1/2 pound burgers but the total weight of the package is metric. Really it is a hybrid system even after 30 years, kind of like the forums here, everyone seems to do the temperature and weather in metric , but still catch 4 pound, 20 inch Bass on a 7 foot rod using 10 pound test in 15 feet of water from a 14 foot tinner

Pretty much how the media works today Harley Biker A Harley biker is riding by the zoo in Louisiana when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents. The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.' The Harley rider replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger and acted as I felt right.' The reporter says, 'Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page...So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?' The biker replies, 'I'm a U.S. Marine and a Republican.' The journalist leaves. The following morning the biker buys the paper to see news of his actions, and reads, on the front page: U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH That pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days
