Wow, awesome! Some real tanks there!

I always enjoy your reports

I'm all about mechanic gloves. I usually just get the normal style and clip off the thumb and finger. It's the only way I've found to still be able to do everything you need to do unimpeded.

I wear them ice fishing too, and when I need to warm the hands (if I'm not in the shack) I just deadstick for a few minutes and put a pair of warm mitts on right over top

Morning Lew.

Chilly and raining lightly here

Walleye time with the kids, after one more cup of coffee of course

Happy Thanksgiving to you too Paul! Glad you like, I sure did!

Took out my kids and some of the local children for a Thanksgiving shore fish this morning. It was very cold and a strong wind from the west. Water Temps 46, and the water still very low, and poor visibilty. Mainly fished a chart. spinner bait, and caught a few pike early on. Caught a couple decent bass as well, but it was fairly slow. Then we hit a good bronzie, right before heading up to visit with family and have an amazing meal! Perfect

Hope you all had a great day with your families!!!!

My Kiddos and the locals

Theres a Bucket!

I have alot of tips I'll give you later on, but for now, I'd strongly recommend ordering alot of quick change clevises (the kind with the nipple on the inside bend) from luremaking.com

Awesome as always Simon!!!!

Snow should be at your doorstep any time now

lol, yeppers, thats baby corn. Only problem was I didn't make enough of it!

Well it's still snowing. Had the river all to myself today, not one boat in site. Fished for a few hours and had fun. Steady action but no big girls today. She was pretty cold out on the water with 65km/h windgusts and snow/sleet blowing up in my face!!!! I love fishing that dirty nasty weather .

Afterwards I took the kids to the gym, played some basketball and volleyball with the local kids, then had a workout. Came home and made a nice big ol bowl of some leftover homemade chilli and a beer.

Perfect day, time for bed

Thanks guys, the meal was very good and super easy to make, 30 mins from start to finish.

Now, for the weather, also calling for 30-60mm of rain between now and Saturday morning! Holy!!!!

Gonna be a fun weekend for me and the kiddos!

Started about half hour ago. It was snowing much harder before I took the pics.

Last year we didn't have a good snowfall until the middle of November, the 14th if I remember correctly.

I've heard reports from 8cm over the weekend to well over 20cm. We'll see I spose.

Walleye time!!!!!

and what I just had to fill my belly before I head out fishing. Walleye breaded with croutons then baked with onion. MMMMMMm

The only board member I've had the privilege of fishing with was Limeyangler (Simon).

We had a great time and alot of laughs, sometime we'll get out again. 6 billion amazing lakes between him and I in a 3 hour stretch. The tough part is gonna be picking where to fish, lol.

We didnt get on the walleye quite like we wished, but we caught some good numbers. Also had some great scenery.

I had a good laugh when Simon took it upon himself to harass some of my neighbors, bwahahahahaha

He also caught an old lost rod of mine,

Dood is a class act

Incredible video!!! That dood was very brave!

To me, the moose sounded pretty exhausted and or very stressed out. Who knows how long it was fighting the swingset???

Anyhow, this is one of those videos where if it goes right your a hero, or it goes wrong and your dead and/or the laughing stock of the internet

Basically, never heard of plunking but flossing is getting your hook in the fish's mouth without it actually taking the bait, and snagging is ripping a large hook through holding pools in hopes of sticking one in the side.

hmmm, thanks.

It makes sense to me now what they actually do.

What is "flossing" or "plunking"

I've heard these terms used on the board but Can someone be specific??? Is it attempting to foul hook on purpose???

And man thats alot of people on those banks. If it was like that here, I wouldn't even bother. Doesn't look like fishing to me at all

Wow!!!! Thats a very cool looking trout!

Aspartame, sucralose and other artificial sweeteners were developed by drug companies, as antidepressants. Sweetness was an unexpected side effect. When the antidepressant was too mild for the prescription market, they sold it to the food sector. Now theres a million obese , angry people addicted to diet pop and chewing gum.

 

Margarine, an artificial product was originally invented as a cheap way to fatten turkeys for production. It was found that it actually made turkeys lose precious pounds... so it was instead marketed as the healthy alternative to butter.

 

Todays fun facts.

It was synthesized in the steps of creating an anti ulcer medication. (apartame)

Monsato started the Nutrasweet company, so it was never sold to any food sector

At least that the way I understand it????

Where are these "Fun Facts" from?

Awesome Simon!!!!

yeppers, walleye love those hyyyuge minnows!

Dairy might have its drawbacks. But without it we wouldnt have our good friends cheddar, mozzarella, asiago, bocconcini, parmesan, ricotta, blue, feta, romano, brie in all its awesome forms, and all the cream sauces and desserts one could think of. I know its not bacon but if given the choice... Ive thought it over and bacon wins by a slim margin. Boy is dairy tasty though!

Real, undenatured dairy has little to complain about.

Plus, it has caloric value (amino acids)

It's the processed stuff that useless.

ok, so what i've gathered from this is Vegans are the enemy, eating all the grains that we need to feed our beautiful bacon building buddies. So I say chop all the vegans and feed em to the pigs, and I'll take a nice cold Steamwhistle with my bacon... just kidding, Im just a little worried. I already hate paying more than 3.50 a lb. while we are on the topic, I just had some amazing ribs for dinner.

I went the hypocrite route, full out. We had BBQ'd pork steaks covered in Blueberry compote. Total form over function. But serotonin and dopamine are definitely chillin at the moment

It has been a long time since l have chimmed in but this has to be one of the most informative bacon discussions ever.

 

What it comes down to is choises and sometimes you have to have the poop scared out of you to make up your mind. After being in a hospital bed for 8 weekes after flatlining l made my choise. 160 lbs. later l have never felt as good as l do now. l changed how l ate and l changed how l lived with stress.

 

l still have my treats but they are few and far. But white sugar and white bread is hardly consumed by me. Back in the early 1900`s the average person consumed 1-2 lbs of sugar a year and now the average person consumes 21 lbs a month. l also eat natural foods (unprocessed)and l ovoid as much as possible corn syrip but they are in my treats. And trail mix in my new potato chips. But these are my choises but going from 360+ lbs. to 200 lbs. has changed my life. It`s sad but l lost another person that l was carring around with me. Be informed about what you are putting into your body. Oh ya l still eat Bacon.

Thats awesome to hear! Good on you, and I'm sure if you further educate yourself you will continue down a much healthier/happier life.

2 beer into the experiment entitled "Longevity and quality of a beers life, from fridge to stomach"

First one lasted 55 minutes, second one lasted 35 minutes.

Abstract coming soon

I'd say that should just about do it as far as the bacon go's , Now theres got to be some thing said about the average Potatoe ............

it's bland without bacon! Wait, what?

I was getting ready for supper until I read this post, now I'm afraid to eat anything

Be human Lew. Eat now, ask questions later, haha

and Jigger, BWAHAHAHA!

Egyptian kings ruled at an age of 12 most often. If they werent assassinated, they died of old age, usually around 20-25. If im "dying" for an extra 60 years, thats fine. Sounds like more of a depressed slant from a personal perspective, but i havent googled enough psychology to assess yet, i suppose.

Are you aware that there are still people in this world that study???

Actually learning about various topics does not involve "googling".

"life expectancy" is very flawed. There was little to no science actually studying this topic throughout human history. It's only been studied for a very, very short time.

But, if I live secluded, in a house with 4 people. I outlive all of them, and they all die at different stages of life, I can tell you the life expectancy of my household by just dividing a few numbers. It's hardly a scientific conclusion of worldwide expectancy throughout human history however.

It's almost time for a Blue
