And you haven't got a patent on this rig? I would think it would be a great seller without the weed guard. Good luck and please keep us posted.

Denny,I have no idea of your past, but with that being said my past would scare the best of all. I went to mental health counseling and with little resolved and black outs that nearly cost me my wife the facility recommended a course called EMDR to this day some nearly five years later I am yet to have a black out. It's definitely worth a try. Now I have a clearer view of everything I do. It didn't make the fish bight any better but it sure makes it more enjoyable. As for your parents divorce, I hope they can work things out, but if not there are government funded programs for that. In the last few states I've lived in Colorado, Washington, Nevada, Idaho and now Texas I can call 211 for any and all things legal to I cannot pay my electric or gas ect. I pray this works for you and you may find the help you need. God bless and good luck.

How to tell who loves you most, lock your wife and you're dog in the trunk for an hour, when opened up it's going to be obvious who loves you more.

To this day one of the reels I frequent is a Mitchell 300. I obtained it new 5 years back brand new with the spare spool in it's original plastic box. I've moved four times and the box and spool are forever gone, but I still use that old reel. This reel has caught many trout in Washington and Idaho Waters.

There ain't no way, my poor wife laughed so hard, she literally wet herself. Myself reading it cannot decide which is funniest, but I must side with this message simply because I am not in the hankering to die.

You have yourself a good kind of problem that has to be solved in the spur of the moment. Good luck

That is not a problem I will as soon as I finish this project I'll get on it. Thanks

Take up bird watching, it does not stress the birds to watch them as long as you don't spook them. Even removing a plant from the ground may cause unnecessary harm or pain, so for the sake of Christ do not eat it, may again cause pain. It would pain us that catch and eat fish, for people like you to interfere with our livelihood.

I always took a metal coffee can put a small home across from each other and a fairly heavy wire with a piece of vacuum line on it. A vacuum hose can be purchased at a parts store, (Oriely Auto, AutoZone or any place that sells Auto parts or salvage yard) I had to carry them down Rocky train ect. Mine had a lid to keep the water out, it works still to this day and it's very inexpensive.

I'm a blacksmith, and would like to borrow your ideas here to produce some from material that would be easy to handle, remove and put on easily. I have a pretty big set of orders going at the moment, but upon completion of these I'll make some and post them. Of course if it is alright I can use these ideas.

The only dumb question I know of, is the question you don't ask!!!

I had no idea, but I hope the info I sent you will help some way. If there was a lifetime limit on big cats, (20#+) I would have exceeded it many times over

I do believe it would take a few more zeros than none to get me down there.

Deep sea fishing, only been in the Florida Waters once on an eight hour tour and loved it so much but never had the chance to go back. I would love to catch s big tuna or anything that puts up a fair fight.

I've always tried to use the freshest bait I could get, now I used shad and the only way I could keep them fresh is in a live well but otherwise I put them on ice. Shad have a tendency to die within a few minutes after netting them so it's imperative to try to net them from the vessel and immediately put in live well or take plenty of ice to try to keep them fresh. I also use live perch or any small legal fish from the local water,I placed my hook above the sinker about one and a half to two feet weather I'm drifting, river fishing, (I did my best in rapid Waters or around a damn, below a dam at the turbine or food control gates) or in still waters. I can only hope you catch some really big ones.
