Damn Clive, that was the funniest thing so far! I thought only I had a hard time.

Could be me? I've met a lot of folks, so I can't remember. Drop me a PM if you think it might be me.

That's him for sure. I lent him a BAW that day.

Best of luck, we're pullin' for ya.

Super sweet rig man. Yer gonna love it. You can let me love it too if you want a second opinion.

This post x 500 - I win!

Spectacular, congratulations. What a sweet sweet feeling! Doozie of a Steelie.

1-2X for big bull hunting & 3-4x everywhere else. Mostly 3x hands down.

I would spank his sorry a$$ like my old man used to - he would'a downright punched me out if I pulled something like that. Spanking works - look how good I turned out?

Be thankfu you're not one of the fish running that gauntlet.

I'd say that little smallie was about 5-5.5", 6 at most. The Burbot is pretty hard to tell since I didn't tape it - I was barely able to hang on to it for a photo, slippry suckers those. One wiggle & woop! they're out of your hands faster than a cutty. I was going to guess the brown at 25". Kenbow out.

Cool pics Esleech. Good thing you decided to photo the beer right away or that photo op would have been gone! The dock pic is quite cool. What kind of shrimp is that do you figure?

It's easy to make a bet when you're pretty sure you won't have to pony up.......I'll even let you use a 1 hander to even the odds. Have at 'er LK, and I'm good for the dough. I'm out of the country soon for a month or so, so if I don't reply to your 'entry', it's only 'cause I'm not home. Do me proud. Show me you can do it! Make us all proud. A Burbot is a beautiful thing to be cherished always. I keep telling myself that. But if you gotta use the 1 hander, it's only $25 a piece. And remember, the Lake White's gotta be bigger than mine!

I could kick his ass.

LK, That rockfish was a HAAWWWGG! The improved Timmies Technique (ITT) is a bit advanced for most of us on the board........like the first time 'wrestling alligators 'cause I saw it on t.v.' sorta thing. Let's use caution, everyone. Do NOT try this at home. LK, there's $50 in it for you if you can get a Burbot on the fly in the mouth on a Spey rod! (offer expires Dec.24, 'cause Santa comes then) There's another $50 in it for you if you can get a bigger Lake White on the fly with the Spey rod than mine - same expiry date! What are you waiting for? GO MAN GO!

Dang LK, I can't believe you topped my rockfish! I have to set a new goal. Good to fish with you guys this year, looks like you had a good year.

Sweet pics Max. Those bullies are nuts. Great shots. BEEeeeeaaahhhhh!

That's Mr. Barbie. Thank-you.

Ladystrange, In all fairness I did not ask what my IQ & waist size were!

And the BAW. And the Poo Hole.

Look - I even have clean fingernails in both pics! Boy, my GF would be proud.

Size these! I know they're not trout, or at least I'm pretty sure. Smallie Ugh Fish

I think you'd be best off drinking several bottles of wine (with preferred company of course) then glue some of the corks together & drill out the centre for a mandrel (whatever size you need). Insert mandrel, put in drill-press (or hand drill in vise) & begin shaping with a file & then sand paper. Cut in half with a scroll saw, band saw or hacksaw & voila. That'll be $75.

Lone 26" Rock 22"

I use a rio tapered leader at the moment, but as soon as I wreck it I am going to straight flouro, knotted down in size. Works very well on the 1 handers, and I can't imagine it'd make any difference on the 2 hander.
