i found the 14lb amazing on my spinning gear....didnt like it too much on my baitcasters...my gf only uses fireline and shes been out fishin me lately

bad karma....lol

so my step son francis who is my best fishin buddy in the world next to my wife...oh ya guys my wife loves to fish....so yeah francis turned 9 on june second...so thrusday he gets his boaters liscense and water and since his school was doing a boring feild trip on friday he gets the day off school to go fishin the ottawa river for walleyes....hes pumped...and hes driving!....he handler like a pro....i was real impressed....so anyways we start the day late at around noon no later....we fish until 1:30pm...in this time he nails 5 bass and i get 2 walleyes and a bass....no its time to meet mom on shore for a late lunch...back on the spot for for 2:15 and fish until 2:45 with nothing...we go back in and pic his older sister up from school...putter around at the boat launch with grandma and grandpa get to the spot for like 5pm....tosses out his line while trolling and bam...now hes using a 7ft medium heavy ugly stick with 12lb diawa samuri green line on a shimano 4000 rg and a berkly 13inch 80lb leader....i firgure its a snag cuz the boat stops dead....(14ft princecraft fisherman 9.9hp johnson)....he says its a fish!....im like snag...then the head shakes!...now the boat is goin backwards and his drag is screaming....and now hes screaming....'i cant shut the engine off or i will lose my rod!!!!' ....i say be a man ur on ur own....hes like oh yeah...boat goes backwards for about 40-50 yards and still havent seen a thing....he gets it to the side of the boat and lets out the biggest scream....57 inch musky!!!.....and did it all himself....since it was OOS and im with the boy it was released in the water with a pic boat side....it was never out of the water....i soooooo wanted a pic of him in my hands....also ther is a pic of one of his bass cuz he wants to show you all he can drive and fish at the same time...bad pic cuz i had to follow the rules boys and girls.

first...santa fee sucks for towing....cant hold tongue wait and and to small of brakes....really if u buy the hitch couples turns of a wrench and ur done....but go to any uhaul dealer and ur done in a jiffy

wow thought u guys would have had it all covered by now....i love the water added in above....but one more thing guys exspecially if ur in a boat....extra sweater and rain gear and always matches or a lighter

im a sens fan so i too am bias....he may be a pretty boy but he has great skill

any tires that fit will be good...mine are the small ones and i have been using them for near 20 years...they need to be replaced and the replacements are the same tiny ones and they r in the garage....and i travel huge distances on them...truely u want the biggest ones u can fit for clearance and less rotation

Why don't we organanize a little OFC pan fish derby of our own on Cameron Lake just off of this numbnut's dock? Imagine his face when he sees 20+ boats around his dock! Oh ya, and bring as many visible minorities as we can.

 

Better still, I say we send that same boat with the same fishermen out and wait for buddy to surface waving his oar. When we get the word, we all mobilize toward the scene and surround him, oars and cameras in hand. Then post the pictures here the next day for entertainment.

 

That'll fix his wagon!

 

What a jerk...

ok i like this guy!....this is what u should do...and i would love to see the pics....me myself....i would have beaten him with his own oar then dragged his boat way out then beat him again....punk ass....if i was the other boat in the distance i would have come and helped u bud....u should have just kept driving circles around him...lol

except for their sales,,,ct sucks...and their auto dept sucks big time...i too only use them for emergencies....the one in my town has this big thing about carts leaving the store so they lock up it all up so if u have a baby or disabled u have to wait to be let in or out...and sometimes the wait is long and they have to call the manager repeatedly....oh ya ct sucks

Fish that you are chasing are bottom feeders so first thing you need to do is lost that bobber.

Second i would change that line that came with the reel with something a bit better.

If you are chasing carp try using corn and try researching hair rigs and how to tie them up.

if you are chasing catfish, use worms or shrimp or chicken liver or sucker meat.

good luck to you

bingo!!!....and the next thing u will say is fish on

get rid of the bobber and put a shrimp on the hook

havin trouble uploading the other pics...and yes with a cell phone....my other camera is pouched

took a guy from another forum fishin when he was in town....fishin was good...two eyes....one good one 22 inches and one small one...atleast a dozen pike...nothing great but nothing to complain about and only 2 accidental bass

pics and report to come tomorrow...but wish me luck guys and gals....first time with a fly rod....im full of confidence so pics will come soon

ok heres the pics guys and gals....fishin was slow...weather was great and bugs where BAD!.....but the boy manage to say the day with a nice one

oh crap kickingfrog...it also states same diameter too....opps....i vote mono then....with WD40...lol

The question was not what is better but what casts farther. Quality lines guides are now made to stand up to braid.

when i said better i meant will cast farther...line guides...well ya but only on my rods that are 250-300 plus dollars...which is too much for a rod

BA...what does that mean?

to say it again braid is better but it will eat ur rod and reel.....this new mono is now eating my tips...going throug 1 to 3 tips a year...i fish a lot though

i have a 25hp mariner...is wicked fast but always at the shop....traded from a 20hp electric start johnson...johnsons rule but it was to heavy and not enough speed....should have went with a yammy....merc makes mariner and now i know why the call them the "black anchor"...but they are fast and light

ok this thread is awesome!!!!!!!!.....

to comment on the stuff above....still laughing at the head in the wall thing....omg!

ok here we go...first the one about hitting mom....my girls are a different story for this one, my wife is a saint and does everything...so if my step son hit his mom i would pound the silly out of him...not a kid pounding a man size pounding...hes a good boy though so no worries there.....taking the door off the hinges is second....my step daughter was pure satan when i meet her....she would throw sceaming fits and refuse to go to school and many more things....u name and she did it....to start off and keep it short....she used to sit there and slam her door repeatedly....so i emptied her room....everything but a mattress on the floor and a pillow and some linen....even took the light bulb....smart little bugger which they are called cas on me...its all good...explained to her what would happen....she would go into a home with other troubled kids and if she thought she was tough there would be way tougher kids there much tougher....she got the picture and she earned her stuff back....now as for stealing mom and pops car....come on we all did that...we should expect it....just hide the keys better and teach them to drive young so when they do they wont kill anyone....lol....there are no bad kids just parents is right....i coached baseball...they kids were my life....the bad ones made even more fun...i had a blast...we won every game....and i quit and dont regret...u know why...cuz i hated the parents...they disgusted me....oh its not about winning...ahhh yes it is...cuz losing sure isnt fun...i would tell them go put ur boy in ballet then....practises...ya right....if u posted more then 2 a month they would call the league officials and complain...hell 1 to 2 practices a week and 45 min b4 every game....if they even showed up for the games....cheer for the kids...ya right...to busy reading a book or sitting with the opposing team and yakking away...not even knowing when their kid caught a fly ball or something....i miss those kids....and still hate the parents

that was awesome....why isnt it a good parenting tip???....the only reason i was good when i was a kid, cuz i had plenty of chances to be bad and wanted to be bad, was that my mom (not my dad) would tan my hide when i got caught...tan it good too....and when i got to big for that i went from being a good kid to getting in trouble everywhere....now i am just good cuz im smarter an older now....but kids need fear....i see some kids in my neighbourhood and they r so bad i dont want to smack them i want to take them home a smack the parents!!!...lol.....some kids are just naturally good but some need the fear of GOD put in them to be good

thank you mom for for smacking my butt when i was bad or a guy like would have ended up in some really bad places...love u mom!

I rememeber being up in Larder Lake a couple years ago at the end of May. Bass season up there is open all year round. We could catch 300 bass in a half a day, after about an hour it got boring and we would move onto pics.

 

Looks to me like like legally fishing for bass when they are on the beds didnt hurt a thing up there because there were literally hundreds of bass up there, so I highly doubt an incidental catch is really going to hurt anything as long as it goes back and is not harvested.

 

Congrats on your PB! Incidental catches happen.

been there done that!....bass fishin isnt as great when u lived near places like that
