Its all good here Brian…you know me….I get on my soap box and there is no stopping me….lol

Well I'm 50 years old and pink is not a color that any of the gay people I know associate with their identity, it was ascribed to them. The Gay community I know is as diverse as it can get and does not define itself in terms of a color and I find it offensive when people feel they have a right to define other peoples identities based on whatever.

"I will be the first to admit,ya it was gay, but it seems todays generation knows how to make that, pink a positive." It sounds like you are saying being gay is a negative thing....no wonder then people get bullied for being gay. Suggesting a color is representative of a persons sexuality only perpetuates the stereotypes which people base and justify their bigoted, discriminatory and bullying behaviour. To go further with my rant lets talk about gender stereotypes and the whole pink camo/fishergirl thing...or maybe not.....

Hi all, I'm going through my videos at the moment (all 542 of them) sorting them out etc...etc... and its just amazing watching some of the ones where Jack was younger. Was watching this one this evening and my heart nearly exploded out of my chest...I LOVE HIM SO MUCH! He is just an awesomely kind, polite, considerate and compasionate little dood who is smart as hell! VERY PROUD OF HIM. Had to share this one again from 2012....the conversations we had in the boat were great...cant wait to get out in the boat again.

Great stuff Bruce, sounds like a lot of fun, the crappie have exploded here on Wabigoon Lake, looking forward to ice out too myself!

Thats not fair!

made me smile too.

Very cool shots Brian!

LOL. Too true! Gonna post that one on my wall and share it with my wife….who is sitting 3 meters away!

Lol SirCranksAlot, I think that would be an awesome afternoon out, a couple of red bulls and have at it! I really like Facebook. The whole reason it is called 'social' media is because it is just that, it is just another way to be involved with other people (be social). And being involved socially has it highs and lows, drama…yes, people that annoy you yes….but also can be a great way to connect with old friends, keep in contact with relatives…..a long way away in my case and have fun…yup…believe it or not it can be fun….hell people even get laid by using Facebook (so i've heard). Is there a need for people to post their every waking moment on Facebook, probably not, but the technology exists to do so, so its gonna happen. Has it made people less social? it would be easy for me to say yes as a person who did not grow up with all this stuff….but has it? Well it certainly has enabled (empowered even?) people to be social in a totally different way to what was possible when I was a kid. I post a lot on Facebook, sometimes I love it, sometimes it infuriates me….A LOT LIKE THIS FORUM…..so whats the difference? Heck…I am in contact with members here and on Facebook. Like all new technologies there are pros and cons. You can't escape the fact we live in a time of instant connectivity, different from when I was growing up for sure,

Now that's more like it!

WOW…sounds like hell! Reminds me a bit of the pier fishing I used to do….people everywhere…nightmare!

They are spreading like wild fire here Joey. They are showing up in lakes that are not connected to any other waterbodies, official line on that is that pelicans are bringing them in, could be true, I am seeing way more pelicans up here too nowadays. You have some awesome crappie fishing right by you too Rick….we also never did get to Sawbill….AGAIN! LOL…I can't find them on the same lake in summer, I slaughter them in spring, have just learned one of their winter hangouts, but as soon as the spring spawn is done its like they never even existed! Wall to wall inflatables?

OK…THOSE ARE THE BEST PICS!!!!! Thanks BFW! toooooo cute. and that pic of Tucker in your boat….lol….they could be twins, exactly what my pooch does.

Hi all, Not had the best luck finding crappie on my home lake, even though in spring I know how to catch them by the ton(almost). Well it seems the secret is out so I went for a look. There were quite a few folks around and a couple of 15"era were on the ice. I did not do as well but only had 45 minutes to fish as I lost my minnows en route and had to back track all the way home, never did find them. Managed 2 crappie though, and donated both to a guy who gave me some minnows. Good fun. "I'll be back"……….

That is cool…a few roast potatoes…awesome!

LOL…just read this question to my wife…her reply "the dog"….not sure how to take that…lol. I love Staffies, always wanted one. Its a shame they have a reputation as a 'dangerous dog' in the UK.

LOL….mine still thinks about it, but he knows better (most of the time). Thanks Cram, he gets plenty of exercise, running after the snow machine in winter and swimming all day in the lake at the bottom of our yard, DOG HEAVEN! (and people like it here too) I hear ya Freshtrax, He has gotten better on the ice, and shore fishing, he does not harass other people and will stay close by, in the boat though its HORRIBLE! Again he has gotten better, and perhaps a bigger boat would help (working on that one) but he is prone to wimping….and it drives me nuts!!!!! Will take him lots again this spring, force myself too so he can get more accustomed to it. He did ok last year at Lac seul for the whole day, but could do better. YUP! I swear he could chase that thing ALL DAY! That's awesome Mr.G, my buddy wants to train my dog for duck hunting too, lol….good luck with that! And yours is handsome, Chocs can't help it. He is getting better, but sometimes he is very disobedient, he is not aggressive at all, which helps, only seen him growl with intent once, and that was last summer at camp and it took a whole day of being 'humped' by my friends dog to provoke poor Roloff, guess he got tired of being someone else's b!tch! Lol…poor little Ralphie, Roloff does not hog blankets, but he's heavy and makes it difficult to get comfortable when he's pinning me down and cutting off my circulation by lying on my legs.

Great responses guys and gals! Our furry babies are family for sure, anyone who has lost a pet knows this. Thanks Lew, it's hard when you lose a pet, I lost my cat a couple years back, had Oscar for 20years! He looked like Garfield, acted like Garfield….heck….he was Garfield, except he was way less sarcastic and a real softy. His named changed when Jack was 1 year old, he decided the cat was to be called "Moose", and it stuck…..I also have fond memories of poor departed Moose…. OSCAR AKA "MOOSE" AND JACK……..THEY ARE FAMILY! Thanks Rick, liked your Facebook shots at the river too! Yup, those are safely stored in your very own 'hard drive'! LOL…have you met my dog? YOU JUST DESCRIBED HIM PERFECTLY! Yup, they make good buddies. We got another cat, and like Casey he makes up for the loss of Oscar!

Hi all, me and the pup headed down the ice road for some C&R relaxation. I've said it before and say it again, what an awesome friend he is, never complains, always happy to see you, Never lies to you or plays mind games, won't steal from you, talk behind your back, Not a mean atom in his handsome brown body, all he asks is to sleep at my feet at the end of the bed, Two bowls of kibble a day, big hugs and games of tug 'o' war, some water, Sticks thrown in the lake, and not to be shouted at too loudly when harassing the cats! If this was Facebook it would be one of those "share if you love your dog" posts. VIDEO

LOL…thats awesome.

Hi all, Got a bunch of baby walleye and some neat looking little sauger, The sun went down……. And then bigger one hit…..23". An hour well spent!
