Has anybody seen or used the Dennison blood knot tool? I saw it on Bass Pro shop. Interesting, but no video showing it in use.

KSF, you have a happy Easter and take care. I’m going to bed shortly. Good night.
Thank you FourchonLa, I wish you and your family a very happy and blessed Easter.
Yes Capt. And I heard that this year the fish commission is increasing the stocking of them. Did you hear that?
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. But I don't think that's always true. Have you ever seen a football game on tv when the cameraman is in the end zone behind the punter or receiver and the other goalposts look like they are a mile away instead of 100 yards? I see pictures all the time of fish and deer that don't look like what they should be wether too big or too small. Sunshine,shadows,angles,bad cell phones, bad photographers! The grandfather said the kid caught a 6 lb. Bass that is good enough for me. Way to go kid! I am envious.

Bonzo, I have a 14 ft v hull that I built a front deck of plywood and 2x4's. And added a front seat on pedestal. It only has a 8 hr. motor and the extra weight makes it sit a little low in the water. And now it will only go about 8 miles per hour top speed. I was thinking about tearing the deck back out. But I bought a new boat instead. The 14 ft. Is for sale.
Hey "Fast" Randy, I just realized that your name didn't work if all that weight was slowing you down! You had to get a faster boat!!!
Hello Fixorfish.Thanks for the reply.I believe you are right. Treated lumber,plywood is only protected until you make cuts and then it needs attention to that cut. I will check out the other ideas.Thanks.

Hello Randy. Thanks for the reply. I was thinking about that. I read where you should consider 1/2 inch plywood and 2x2's to reduce the weight. Also possibly tubular aluminum.

A fishermen passes away. He wakes up next to a beautiful stream. Nearby is a rod and reel with a lure attached. Doing what comes naturally he picks it up and casts and hooks a fish. After a long battle he lands a beautiful 10 pound trout. Casting again he hooks another 10 pound beauty. This goes on cast after cast after cast. Soon he gets tired and sits down on the bank. Hearing a noise he looks up the path and sees another fishermen approaching. When he gets closer he can't help but notice the man does not look very happy. He says to him "so this is what heaven is like." The man answers back "whatever made you think this was heaven?"
Did you know that back in the early 80's the state record largemouth came out of Shahola? A guy from the mid-valley area [Jessup] caught it. I believe it was in the 10+ lb. range. He only held the record for a short time before being bested. I think it was only a year or so. I remember this because I lived near there then.
I know, that W.V. Mike is the worst[in a nice way]. Every one keeps asking for pictures and that is punishment!
Bass or crappie? I am done ice fishing. Do not trust the ice. I am still hunting small game.
Hello Al. thanks for the reply. I have used carpet before. It has a few drawbacks. Where are you going with a boat this time of year?
I am in the process of adding plywood decking to an aluminum Jon boat. I know I can go with carpet, vinyl or paint. I am leaning towards the paint. There are so many new type coatings on the market it is mind boggling. I like the anti-skid and rubberized properties of some of them. With so many options I figured asking for advice from someone who has used them may help me decide.

Strange happenings here in Northeast,Pa. Two weeks ago a flock of 24 robins showed up in the neighborhood.Also a local tv station ran pictures of bluebirds sitting on a snow covered branch. Seems very odd to me!
