If you don't wet the knot (any knot) before pulling it tight, you may be burning the line, thus weakening it and causing the knot to fail.

One day a man came home and was greeted by his wife dressed in a very sexy nightie. "Tie me up," she purred, "and you can do anything you want." So, he tied her up and went fishing.

Of course!!!
Thanks for your service also, Jarhead.
My father was a jarhead, but that wasn't his only fault.
Happy New Year and tight lines to all fellow anglers!
The Jarhead must have been a Blond!
I'm looking into buying a foldup trailer for my Sea Eagle Stealth Stalker STS10 inflatable. 10 ft long, about 48 in wide. The foldups at Harbor Freight have quite a few negative reviews. Anyone have experience with them?
Micky Mouse went to see a lawyer, and tried to explain to him why he wanted to divorce Minnie Mouse. After some time, the lawyer flat out asked Micky why he wanted a divorce just because Minnie was a little whacky???
Micky replied, I didn't say she was a little whacky...I said she was F---ING GOOFY!
Small world!!! I retired USNavy in 1978 as a Chief ET! I also still have dreams about being back in the Navy - usually good ones. But I don't miss it - it's been too long. Went to Viet Nam in 1968 to 1971 on 2 different ships, but not real combat situations.
Check out the Cuda 3" Titanium Bonded Micro Scissor on Amazon for $5.77. I bought 2 pair, and they cut braid clean every time...after time....after time!
Seriously...check out the Sea Eagle Stealth Stalker STS10 inflatable. It's a great boat! Pricey, but worth it. It's roomy enough for two people plus gear.
Sea Eagle is still showing the 285fpb available at their site. See...https://www.seaeagle.com/FramelessFishingBoats/285fpb
Here's one I found on Ebay, but a little expensive.

I've got a Sea Eagle Stealth Stalker STS10 and love it! 2-Person craft with a wood floor that lets you stand up to fish. Very stable. Have a a Minn Kota 45lb thrust 36 inch shaft trolling motor on it which is plenty of power to last all day fishing and moving often.
Sounds like a blonde joke.
