  2. A friend of mine has a cottage on the north shore of Erie that’s been in his family for 60+ years. He said the yard facing the lake is 30% shorter than it was when the family bought it. The cottage is a good 70 feet above the lake and they get massive car-sized boulders put along the base of the cliff to protect it. The crazy part is, every November they get storms with waves so large they lift the boulders up and lodge rocks the size of grapefruit between them! I’ve seen these giant boulders balancing up on smaller rocks and it’s amazingly what the power of that lake can do. When you’re in the cottage during a storm, it vibrates every time a wave crashes into the side of the cliff below. This is the strength of the 30 footers.
  3. Geez. You kicked 2020 in the stones! Lol If you have a better 2021, I’m anxious to see the report. Nice job! Thumbs up 👍🏻
  4. Ironically, it's the older generation that remembers things like the children of thalidomide are the ones that need the vax the most. The 30 somethings have never been exposed to a large scale pharmaceutical disaster. I'm certainly not suggesting this is, or could be anything like that. Just acknowledging why the older gen may feel apprehensive whereas the younger gen may not give it a thought.
  5. Not quite sure the market is ready to bear a 175% increase quite yet. 75% maybe?? Good time to be a recreational equipment salesman for sure.
  6. Let me throw some gas on the fire...😁 http://www.flyerca.com/princess-auto-black-friday/ The store you go in for one thing and come out with a hundred new ideas.
  7. An ice fishing raccoon...yeah I see the similarities.

  9. Ah damn. I thought that only happened to me.
  10. I’ve got a glass boat with a keel guard and that boat has been beached plenty of times. It’s a boat after all. The topside is for looks and the bottom is for business. Lol
  11. I have two sons and if I tried tying either one to a tree when they were teenagers, I’d be the one tied to the damn tree. OP, regardless of the jacket you pick, make sure you set the example and wear the same one. As far as the auto-inflates go, yes there is a small failure rate. However the rate is extremely small compared to the rate of people that won’t wear a regular pfd because they’re too hot, too bulky, too restrictive, etc. I wear an auto-inflate 100% of the time I’m fishing alone in my boat. I wore a regular pfd 0% of the time while fishing previously.
  12. Cool. I still have the plastic case with the screw on top for the spare spool. Honestly, those reels are nostalgic but by today standards, the drag feels janky. 😆
  13. I still have my mother’s Mitchell 300 from over 60 years ago. The best ones were the originals made in France.
  14. Very nice. I can sure see the attraction to the long track Tundra.
  15. I guess I should have wrote (sarcasm) after my comment. Lol
  16. Wait, I thought early season catch and release for bass on the Great Lakes was the ultimate heinous crime? 😂
  17. Hopefully they pull his Mickey Mouse Ontario boating licence too. Lord knows they do are so hard to get and educate boaters so well.
  18. Naming your boat Miami Rice must carry a hefty fine as well.
  19. That’s interesting Brian. I have to go in to get my eyes done and though I’m looking forward to losing the blurriness, I’ve wondered about the sensitivity to light issue. I assume it’s still worth doing?
  20. Gorgeous fish Brian. Nice job.
  21. Ever wonder what 1oz punching jigs are really for?? 😁 Hopefully the opp will intervene and make sure this stunt costs him $$$$. The guy is an absolute idiot.
