Yep sturgeon are nutso. And these are just lake sturgeon, nevermind those beasts in BC! I couldnt imagine!!!

Kar is sleeping. Daddy just forgot why you dont hit the gym at 930pm???

Great Bass Chris. I have found Large Mouth don't seem to be affected by warm water as other fish are. I've caught them in Cuba in bath water shallows.

 

My not so favorite Bro-in-law stopped who started fishing 5 years ago and he can now have his own show, that guy. He was bragging how he caught a 42" Musky this year on a ultra light and played her out for well over 30 minutes and took 10 minutes to release it. He was so proud of himself. After listening to this Jim Saric wanna be I told him he should have run the boat up to it and cut the line when he knew it was a big Musky. Why? Because you killed it and explained why I thought so. You might as well shot it. Am I wrong? I'm not a Musky guy but know that much.

Thats true with bass. Ive caught smallies too in sick hot water and im not even sure how the fish are alive? They feel like jello

Was you not so favorite fishing 600ft behind the boat?

Me thinks hes fibbing you.

Ive caught a few mid forties fiah on rainy lake on 4lb test crappie fishing and unfortunately I did kill a good pike with what id estimate was more like an 8 minute fight. My bad, shoulda cut the line.

My pb pike(47") took less then 4 minutes with 20lb braid.

Longest fight id ever had is with an 8 foot 100lb sturgeon and that legit took an hour(I know, we filmed it).

And just being honest, pike and musky are like a perch fight compared to sturgeon

Was going to start a "what are you growing " thread but thought it might bend to the Illegal growing (as of right now, outside of medical use) of a natural plant so I didn't. But I am going to use your post to maybe get things going. I'm growing out a few chilly pepper plants, many are a first this year. I grow really only enough for me as I don't have a yard or balcony to grow, so I tend to limit myself. 12 species this year ranging from mild heat to super hot .

Grow list is, Aji Limon , Bahamian Goat, White Habanero, Moruga Scorpion, CGN 21500, 7 Pot Brain Strain, Ghost Carbon, Chocolate Bhutlah, Peruvian Serrano , Jay's Peach Ghost, Carolina Reaper & a mystery pepper, I germinate a few seeds unlabeled, first to sprout grows out.

Have had a few harvests so far but we've had a killer hot summer & where I grow out my plants, too hot, to the point 1/2 dropped their flowers due to the heat....until the last few weeks & now a explosion of flowers, so it will be a great year if they ripen in time.

Bahamian Goat- Tried my first pod this evening & am hooked. What a amazing pepper, great citrus flavor & heat similar to Scotch Bonnet if not greater. Really looking forward to the mash with these. Nice amount of oil inside, placenta has good amount of seeds. Great presentation pepper, brilliant colour ranging from orange to yellow to peach depending on light, frosted white inner with a amazing virgin olive oil green oil inside

 

 

This is the CGN 21500, still classified as a wild peeper. Not as hot as the Goat but still packs a wallop. Decent placenta with a lot less seeds than the Goat, extremely thick walled pepper for a c.chinense, not entirely sure if I picked them too early, pictures vary greatly as for the ripe stage & growing region. Decent amount of oil & this pepper really reminded me of Sprite in taste after the heat passed. The burn lasted fairly short, maybe 5 min total but flavor lingered a long time afterward.

 

 

This is a Ghost Carbon, not dumb enough to try this pod by itself, up near a million scoville I'll wait for the mash. A very prolific pod producer, must have near 1000g of pods from this plant so far. Ghosts (fairly generic term for this type of pepper) are my #1 go to for flavor & heat

 

 

7 Pot Brain strain, not as crinkled as other grows but should still pack serious heat. Fairly bitter to my tastes, but the burn is undeniably insane . On my best growing year with these, saw the oil eat through a pair of Nitrile gloves, so I use extreme caution with these bad boys.

 

 

Pictures don't do these guys justice Jay's Peach Ghost. These 2 are quite small compared to the ones ripening now, insane amount of bumps & crinkles/crevasses. Never had these guy's before but everyone seems to rave about the taste & searing heat, Looking forward to smoking half the batch for the mash, think it will be stellar.

Wicked!

I hate to ask, but was it you that was kind enough to send me seeds?

It's interesting that the cooking thread is less visited during the summer months. We eat a heck of a lot more in the winter. A few ripe tomatoes, a Vidalia onion, fresh basil, olive oil, oregano a can of good tuna and I'm good to go. Throw in a crusty Portuguese bun and ferget aboud id.

 

Rick I wasn't going to say anything but you have gained a few chins there kiddo. Good you are going to do something about it. The older we get the harder to diet and exercise it away. The guys used to bug me when I gained weight. "Hey Johnny D. you have more chins than a Chinese phone book", actually a good one. If I had to cook for a dozen I would gain weight just taste testing those gorgeous meals you make them.

Oh a couple chins brotha? Im 37 pounds above my "set point". Thats very fat and easily the heaviest ive ever been(210.7lbs).

Not only is it bad on me and for my kiddos, its sucks for work.

Anyhow, I know the ropes and can knock it off in a few good months. Its not easy by any means, but ill getter done.

Im just happy im done smoking

(And for the record, ya told me im fat on the phone a week or so back???)

i don't run on my balls

You owe me a beer

Most gp's are idiot drug pushers

Drugs treat symptoms, they dont fix issues causing the symptoms.

Good luck I wish ya the best!

Try low dose ephedrine for a short term fix.

Then work on your darn health ya quack.

Undenatured whey protein isolate

High dose fish oil

B complex

Multi enzyme

Some npp or hylauraunic acid for the joints

Maybe some testosterone

Dnp because its cool to take a supplement thats an ingredient in dynamite

A few of those are serious, a few, well yeah dont use those

I wonder how he will kill his next bear.

Slit its throat with his license?

...

 

 

POOR ????

 

Sorry, but there no grounds for this.

 

It,s the WWW and like said, it,s the huggers that have the issues here.

 

It was a man VS beast with a spear. He nailed it. Grats to him.

 

 

 

Theres so many people messed up about this stuff. His rights, our rights, thier rights.

 

I know what my RIGHTS ARE.

 

Why do poeple feel the need to keep changing, OUR rights?

Bullseye!

Hunting will always exist. Same with fishing.

I do both legally.

BUT the day its deemed illegal, is the day I exercise my right as a part of this land and feed my family.

Ive said it here many times.

Great of you to post this up! I hope sincerely someone takes up the offer!

Nice fish Chris!!!!

Imagine, buy someone elses trophy and passit off as your own smh

Tons of bears around here. Never much a bother.

When im drilling in the bush I have to report most wildlife sightings. Pretty common to make 10-15 calls a day

I wonder if thats why im seeing musky in the river all of a sudden? Chasing the cooler water

Ugh. I love nature and this is the exception to that.

I hate these birds with a passion

Nobody up here gives a crap about it being a protected species, blast away!

Ouch!

Glad nobody was hurt!

Good on ya for the helping hand?

Thats the inner skateboarder in me.

Doesnt bother me one bit in the summer???
