Hahah you wont even answer a pm!

Sad really. You wanna bash me but wont do it privately???

Go fishing and relax?

 

Wow. Must be freaking nice!!

Yeah it is?

Sorry your so abrasive. Maybe wake up early and watch a sunrise? Appreciate life for what it is...

 

Ya know... I was giving Chris advise, based on my experience, because the topic hits home. I had a bit of time, and I figured I would chime in.

 

Tell us, oh ensightfull one, how one manages 13hrs of OFC a day, with a full time job and 7 kids..

6 kids. One on the way. Not sure what your beef is with me? But i have pm if ya wanna keep "hooking" me into your bashing.

No need for it here.

I use my phone, so im actually logged in 24/7

 

Happens a lot.

Ho's be lookin' fo' some $$$$$ yo!!!

This isnt so funny when your bro is going through it. ?

We could go old school medical and replace scotch with codeine. That was commonplace as well in the early 1900's???

Pretty sure mike was joking

Oh and 13 weeks well have another bebe?

The most important thing is to share the responsibilty.

Yes its tiring at first. But with proper nutrition youll get used to it quick and wont need much sleep to perform anyhow.

If I can raise 6 kids, ages 5 through 14, work, fish, hunt, forage, cook, play hockey etc then you can do it as well.

Really need to look at proper nutrition and food as fuel.

I have my days too, im not a cyborg. But they are few and far between.

If I need rest the wife understands, and vice versa.

The biggest plus is my job(although long hours) is super easy.

Our quota is rediculous lol but i cant complain. I need 40 RTKs a day, I can do that in 3 or 4 hours. Then I sit in a truck and study/post on here lol

I still prefer to shop at the smaller locally owned tackle shops. Do some price comparisons & you'll save at the small shops. So, if BPS buys Cabels -

I don't really care!

Same here.

Plus you can get wicked discounts at ma and pa shops when your a loyal customer!

Plus youll gain a friendship?

Our family is from Belgium, both my grandfathers were in the army and fought during WW1 . My Dad's father was hospitalized after a mustard gas attack; he pulled through; but the last 10 years of his life he had to ware an oxygen mask, because of the damage the gas had done to his lungs.

My dad was 12 when WW2 broke out and Germany occupied Belgium. Dad told a lot of stories of what they did to survive. There were no bomb shelters in the countryside for them to go too during a bombing raid; these raids were mostly from the British/Canadians trying to push the Germans back. My Grandfather taught them to not run when they saw the planes coming; but wait an listen; if you could here the whistle of the bomb, run to the closest ditch in the opposite direction of the noise.

With my grandfather's experience with the mustard gas, he was terrified that the Germans would use it again. No such thing for a civilian to have gas-masks; so he placed pails filled with water and rags soaking in, all over the property. If they saw planes coming from the East (Germany) they would go to the closest pail and take it with them to where they would hide. Once the bombs started dropping they would breath through the water soaked rags.

Dad said that yes these things were bad; but the lack of food was the worst; the Germans would confiscate anything eatable as they marched trough.

So yes there are 10's of thousands of solders that died for the cause; but there were also 10's of thousands that suffered under the occupation of the German army.

By 1942 my Dad (yes he was only 14 but hated the Germans) joined the underground and work with others to sabotage as may things as they could.

So yes remembrance day means a lot to our family; they weren't all in the military but they fought to survive.

At 11 o'clock on remembrance day; I ask my guys to stop whatever they're doing and honor the meaning of remembrance day

 

Dan.

 

Thats a horrible story but a good read.

Between my grandpa and my exs grandpa, the stories were just wicked. But grandma was from holland and her stories were unreal horrible. She prostituted to the germans for bread/potatoes. Her and others lived in an underground crapper. She was found by my grandpas best friend and recruited as sort of a spy for the west and they fed her. She didnt know how many times she was raped. My grandpas friend brought her to canada when he was disharged and married her.

He had horrible ptsd and developed a drinking problem. His wife and children moved in my grandpas basement because of his violence. He later sobered up and got help and they remained very close.

My gramps hated the war(although he lied about his age to go fight)

He told me stories of being able to see clear through germans charging as the canadians fired at them with the .303. Said the would run a clear ten feet before they realized they were dead. He couldnt remember how many he had killed? But after my grandma died he would tell me stories almost every night and it seemed like therapy to him. He was so disturbed by killing he even quit hunting. He couldnt handle to the sound of guns anymore.

My great grampa was on the other side. Full out nazi. He never talked to me about war but he defected to the US and his apt was full of nazi garb and medals etc. Pics of hitler in every room. Was a very creepy place. Im not sure of his original last name but when he came to the states he took on the name reich(pronounced reach)

How sore was everyone bunk?

I know when I get lake sturgeon(on lighter gear) its sure wears a guy out!

But the sturgeon here do get to 6 or 7 feet, but they arent half the girth of those dinosaurs thats for sure!

Sturgeon are just wicked eh? If they dont wanna move there is just nothing you can do. They dictate the battle lol

Gotta 4 footer through the ice 2 years ago and it was a total gong show to land it and a 27" rod hahahaha

Im heading up next year for a family reunion and I cant wait!

Aye, but did ya include a wee dram of Scotch??

The scotch is for daddy???

Fish oil and undenatured whey protein isolate will work wonders. Plus lil fisher will get extra immunoglobulins to enhance mommas milk. And the tryptophan will help regulate sleep cycles as it will produce extra melatonin production for both baby and mom

You know what my suggestions are Chris but this is pretty normal.

My first boy was exactly the same as yours.

We had to take shifts. I was young then and it exhausted us.

Every child after that was pretty easy

Nice one Chadand butchering yourself

Only way to go!!!

folks with lots of time on their hands no doubt.

12 - 14 hours a day at work lol

Crazy story. Wow!!!

Id get two okuma avengers cause you know darn well youll be using more then one rod???

Wow fish eat minnows?

Lol of course they will work
