Damn for $230 a month of my pay my whole family is is covered.

And I recoup that monthly with prescriptions (almost)

Dental and eyecare are big too for a younger guy with kids.

Id never drop my coverage unless it was absolutely needed.

Mi moms did now I cover her costs. Its kinda stupid but ya know, she didnt know better.

Now she has rheumatoid arthritis and the meds arent exactly cheap.

Once she changes her address etc and I can add her to my plan Ill save a ton.

Im not sure how it works but I pay up front then I submit and get doller per doller back

Get your ass there no matter what John!

Crazy story Rick.

 

They must be a crazy tough fish!!

 

Ive seen catfish stay alive for hours out of the water.

Crazy tough!

A fish dont live 200 years as a wimp?

Woot woot!!!

Yep keep it sealed and cool.

Easily last 5 days in the fridge if not more.

Done it lots

Frozen shiners are the cats meow for ice fishing though. Ill take em over live bait anyday and its like 4 bucks for 2 dozen

His first game he put on one heck of a show lol

Id imagine the red wings just laughing in the locker room

Just copy and paste the image in the comment on here

Priceless???

At least they showed a few 14" bass hahaha

Rick, no one can keep track of OUR stories, not even us.

Wel my wife was off on business training in toronto. It was a really hot/calm day so I took the kids to shore fish bass at the rapids.

2 aboriginals were down the drinking beer and trying to gaff sturgeon.

I know the guys but they are annoying when drunk so I just kept to the other side of the rapids.

They finally get one maybe 2 hours later and probably about 10 beers later.

"Oranges" as they call him, comes over and politely asks if I need or would like a sturgeon.

After saying no about 20 times I just told him look dood its illegal for me to have that fish.

He says yeah but tour wife can have it!

So i explained that she was gone and i had no need for the fish, i dont even no how to smoke them or fillet them for that matter. He finally gives up, loads the fish into his buddies truck and they drive off.

So the kids and I fish maybe 2 hours longer and walk home.

To my dismay that friggen fish is in my front yard!

Now im freaking out on what to do? Keep in mind we had just moved to the rez and I knew like 5 people minus my wives family.

So I call her cousin that smokes sturgeon and hes not interested in one 60lb fish, ughhh.

Thats it, I pick up the fish and start the 300 yard walk to the other launch to revive this fish (while half the community watches the only white guy on the rez akwardly)

After an exhausting walk I get the fish in the water and start trying to revive it.

Shes breathing good but man shes been cooking on my lawn for 2-2 1/2 hours.

Not 15 minutes in I hear a boat coming. Immediately think, here we go, its MNR. Im never fishing again, whats this fine gonna be etc.

Sure enough its MNR and they pull right up.

2 guys and they are pissed! Ask for my license and I show it to them. Start telling what happened and said Im obviously not lying as I have no fishing gear with me.

The tide turns and they get friendly, help out reviving the fish during our talk and after about half hour she swims away with a giant splash of her tail.

They asked for a name but at that time I honestly didnt know? That and well im worried about our safety. I dont know if this is a voilent rez or whats gonna happen even if I could give names???

Anyhow, the COs were awesome and we struck a good chat. Friends till this day.

And nothing ever came of it...

My first time handling or even seeing a live sturgeon(smh)

Crazy ordeal, I learned many moons ago to point sled towards home on arrival and carry a compas. Saved my butt once or twice.

Its never saved me but its a habit of mine too!

Its a stick bait that is designed to sink, then fowl, so it has retarded action on the retrieve???

I can change my opinion. At 2:49 the fish let out a great burp of air. Definitely still alive then for sure. Very still after that. They are fishing in US waters, if it were overseas the fishermen that come to help would have talked to them in Russian first not English. Her accent is Wisconsin, northwestern Illinois or eastern Minnesota. But north mid western for sure. He may be Canadian.

 

I hope they would have released that fish before it died, that size fish expended a huge amount of energy.

That fish barely released any energy, unless they started filming an hour or so after the hook up.

But, they should have not left the fish on the ice for very long, thats a no no.

As for my sturgeon story OI, I think I might have told ya about it on the phone??

Holy crap!

You have free time?

And to do such nice work???

Im baffled

Wow!!!

Quit watching porn!!!

That sturgeon could easily survive.

I sure hope it went back in.

And I hope it was a legal catch if they kept it

That beauty would easily be 100 years old

To anyone thats never caught them, this is easily the strongest fresh water fish.

Dont make me tell the story of someone in the rez trying to frame me(or just being super nice but drunk outta their minds)

fun toy had I won the powerball lotto

Exactly!

Imagine early ice jiggin out the front window???

Yeah, should win the cup by doing that!

Well we could just ride a bike for 4 hours after every game, that was a great strategy eh matt?

Incorrect. You are confusing a right to bear arms in a constitution with your basic human right of self defence . In Canada you have the right to use as much force as. " reasonably" nessecary to protect your life or the lives of others ie: your family. There is no table provided as to what is reasonable. It may be reasonable to punch someone out, it may be reasonable to hit them with a bat. It may be reasonable to shoot them multiple times with a shotgun dependant on the circumstances. Ultimately if the reasonability isn't clear, the courts will ultimately decide. In some states they have things like castle doctrine etc . But that again is different than a constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Their constitution doesn't give them the right to shoot people for car theft .

But like I stated before in Canada youde have one heck of a hard time using a firearm to protect against a threat unless you luck out and have minutes to unlock everything(assuming you abide by the guns laws)

????

Always, always, ask mr.blizzard to post the for ya!

Or brian b

???

Bab's already stated yesterday that there would be no new Captain this season....

You can do that?

Might be a really smart move!

6 is the last ep...i could see this turning into something bigger though

It even has him on the phone sating hes getting in touch with shimano about more rods and will do another 39 hour tie break if they need to lol

wait, there's still more episodes coming? I figured 6 would be the last...

Thats what it said at the end.

*spoiler alert

I'd rather they just trade Kadri away. Rebuild the entire culture not just the expensive pieces. Ship him to a team that will put up with his crap.

Kadri has always acted with poor sportsmanship and seems to think hes a 100 point per year type of player.

I wouldnt want him as a teammate

I think Lupuls injuries have just caught up to him. Its too bad if thats the case because the talent and attitude are there to be a really good player
