I miss fishing with you Justin. I am glad you are posting. I call this "Vicariously". Thank you! I am not sure your set ups but I was dropping a lot of fish with mono drop shotting. I changed to superslick main with a ~6-10 ft flouro Seagur and it improved greatly my hook up to land ratio. It is so good that I just reel perch, bluegill, and crappie. All of the give is on a light rod and zero stretch in the line. I have not yet fished your Keitechs yet but will give them a try. I just haven't felt like turkey hunting or fishing this year with current climate - that's a big first for me.

Get a grill for the boat. It is a thing. Try not to blow yourself up. I am sitting here thinking about how hungry I would have to be to eat raw salmon from lake O and I skipped breakfast and I still can't picture it.

I enjoy your posts

There are a lot of mice this year. I was wondering if this is why I haven't seen much activity.

My belief is predators were a bigger factor to pheasant loss. Birds of Prey made a strong recovery from DDT and fox from fur trade collapse. Grouse are affected too and they are native.

One of my most memorable nights was so dark you couldn't see the horizon, we would throw the sticks out into the rapids and just listen for the slurp. It seemed like every cast for 30 minutes one of us had a hook up. Those are some nice fish. This weather pattern holds and we should have a very good close this year. Thanks for posting.

Thanks Bill. I thought it was obvious.

Amazing how these threads turn political. I mean really - I want a plastic straw. Guy is unethical - deserves punishment afforded to him by law and lets stop there. Taking it further just offends someone else.

Ditto but I would say an Atlantic. How did it fight? Head shakes or violent runs?

here we go!

October = I wish I had more time to hunt. December = I think the season is too long.

I wouldn't worry about it getting blown out. I took someone hiking thru the brush and climbing down embankments (once) who likes to fish. They haven't been back since - even in the day time. These aren't those worn down trout salmon stream trails. People like to think they want to do it, until they do it. Like I said before, it is the drive home that keeps me from doing it anymore. Congrats on your fish Justin. I still remember my first (and only) 30 incher.

Haha - fun loving

Can you use your regular season buck tag during muzzleloader? A: Your Regular Season deer tag cannot be used in the Early Bowhunting* or Early Muzzleloading seasons. It can only be used in the Regular Deer Seasons in the Northern and Southern Zones to take a buck. ... During the late seasons, the Regular Season deer tag is valid for deer of either fun loving.

I had a dream last night that a nice buck came out and I shot it. I reloaded and as I was walking towards the first buck, an even bigger buck came out and I shot that too. The dream is far from reality but my question is: "If you have your regular season tag and your bow/muzzy tags is it legal to shoot two buck in muzzleloader season"? BTW in my dream they were slammers - sorry no pics. I don't know how to upload them.

I couldn't even finish watching the video. I also am interested in the outcome.

Rob, is that an illusion or is there a critter in the tree? (2nd pic)

Your use of the word "Butchered" made me want to clarify. I cringed when I saw that picture but then I realized people really do not always know what classic butchering is and is probably where the 3rd definition originated from. I wouldn't even call that processed. Look at all that meat left on that buck. Neck roasts can be phenomenal and easy. If anybody wants advice, I will be happy to share. butch·er /ˈbo͝oCHər/ verb past tense: butchered; past participle: butchered slaughter or cut up (an animal) for food. "the meat will be butchered for the local market" kill (someone) brutally. "they butchered 250 people" ruin (something) deliberately or through incompetence. "the film was butchered by the studio that released it"

Last night was 5.05pm

I got home and was outside doing chores at 4pm yesterday. Only shot I heard was at 5.07 which I thought was a little late to be shooting.
