    Buttsmoocher!

     

    At least I were a shirt when I do it :w00t:

     

    Depends who's rear I smooch :lol:

     

     

    Its been a good wet sock year once again,caught some King Kongs

    getting ready to wrap up one last shoot on thursday then Muskies "Fish with attitude"

     

    The opening wet sock season was good with lots of " Mud Puppies" (Sauger)being caught.

    At times the bite was ridiculous,on the water at 7 and off by 1-2 pm,then kinna relax and do it all over again.Pike bite was pretty good,we had 24 pike in 19 minutes with triples and quadruples

     

    Then my fun time started,short linning wet socks (walleyes) and yaking King Kongs,although the top end did not reach last years high the overall size was really good with 20 something fish in the 6 to 9 pound range.The beauty of it all was looking guest in the face and telling em ,its gotta go back :w00t:

    Once the emotional scaring healed they were fine with it :lol:

     

    Spent a wonderfull evening with Roy one night and Few hours with Darsky and enjoyed the time

    Also got to fish a couple of evenings with my cousin and niece and my dad

    So overall was a good spring with smiles on shore :w00t:

     

    Some people cant wait to get to bed after work

    I cant wait to get up

    Fishdawg,I want you top take a calcutta 700 reel,lock it right down and catch a salmon on a 10 inch bait and tell me what kinda fight you had,I am almost certain,on impact you"ll snap the fishes vertabrae,the fight will last no more than 7 minutes

     

    To even suggest a species is better than another is relevant to the methods and tactics one uses. to really try and find which species is stronger,one would have to apply the same method for all species

     

    To be honest Salmon fight like Romo's,they run and come back,run and come back on 15 to 20 mono line with soft rods,so comparing a 410 gauge to a 303,its really not the way to compare Firearms and fish :w00t:

     

    Like I said,I yet to catch a fish with acrown on it,although I have met people who thought they should wear a crown :w00t:

     

     

    Tybo,I think a Dodge on Ultra light would beat a a chevy smallie :w00t:

    I >believe< Marc uses LIKE the spring out of a bic pen as a loop protector.

     

     

    I must admit the Bic pen springs are pretty good,they get em all penned up

     

    Thimballs or springs I used for years,do they prevent wear (I suspect so )

    I've trolled the wiggle off of lures and the leaders with or without em lasted.Snaps,go through em like candy,Leaders maybe 6 a year Trolling.

    Whats more important is understanding wether tying a knot or using a crimped leader with a loop is more advantagious depending on the fish modd and activity level

     

    When you guys figure that one out,let me know :w00t:

     

    I did a piece on leaders on the Next Bite season 2 DVD,its also a pretty good show,but you se myself and Dave Fornara making leaders with springs
