I learned a long time ago that fish have this really annoying habit. They swim around. It can really be frustrating for an angler.

My kids, and my grand kids, all understand that they do not dictate my standards. I have always believed that you will get the conduct from others that you are willing to tolerate. Your word is your...

He's 22 and in the military. No, he has not apologized or offered to pay his half. He has not asked to go fishing again either. Too bad really. He will occasionally make a good decision but usually...

I'm old school. On time means 15 minutes early. Not there equals not going. My Great grandson found out the hard way. Wasn't there to check in, back in or launch, and would not answer the phone....

Krispy Kreame donuts. Warm. With chocolate milk.

Please know that Dixie has no fear of death. She has her people and will have them until the very end. Her life was good because of you. She said thanks with unconditional love. Hold her when she...

A solid foundation makes an epic rebuild possible. The boat was obviously built, and then rebuilt, by true craftsmen. Nicely done!

Probably a former Boy Scout. "Be prepared".

How about a jersey similar to what the pros wear, but instead of sponsors, decorate it with the names and pictures of his wife, kids, grandkids and pets. He will get noticed and complimented every...

It is fun to see the dialog that my original post generated. If we look back there have been a number of tech advances that have literally changed everything. Air conditioning. Internal combustion...

I have been reading quite a bit lately about the controversy surrounding FFS. If viewed as a structured debate, both sides have valid arguments to make. So, when I plan for a debate (on any topic) I...

It's just a rating system that has been accepted across a particular industry. Engine displacement and or thrust rating would work too, but you would have to re-educate an industry and the market...

The two big signs of Spring here on the Mississippi River in Illinois are:

1. Robin's on the lawn. They were here last week.

2. Barge tugs working on the River. Saw some today.

Get your...

Amen!

Looks good. An old shower loofah makes a good mesh for scale patters. Eyes are cheap on the internet. I finish my baits off with a coat of clear 2 part epoxy. The 2 ton stuff works the best. The...

Adele is totally dependent on you and your wife for her happiness and well being. That means that you must make decisions for her. All decisions. Including the hardest decision in the world. It...

The local temp is nothing. As in 0. Wind chill puts it at -25 ish. Me, mama and the puppy are holed up around the fireplace.

I just took 6 of my old ones, repainted them and added short shank trebble hooks. I went with a "Dirty Shad" pattern. Can't wait for spring.

My wife and I were at JC Penneys a while back getting stuff for the kids. I mentioned to the clerk that we were thinking about getting the boys something besides underwear. A young man standing in...

An optimist believes we live in the best of all possible worlds. I'm afraid they might be right.

I never have been impressed with the so called celebrities that the media seems to favor. For that matter, media personalities are boring too. I can't think of a single actor I would cross the street...

Good. Comeraderie and time with people of like interests.

Bad. Idiots who nit pick and treat a club tournament like the Bassmaster Classic.

I was a TD for a few years too. I made no bones about...

Thank you. My dad was in the Navy. Fought in Iwo and Saipan. 20mm anti aircraft gunner. My FIL was Army. Landed at Anzio. I am a veteran too, as are my brothers and male cousins. My Uncle (dad's...

When I married my wife 26 years ago I told her two adult children that I had no idea how to be a step dad. I only knew how to dad. I told them that my love for their mother carried with it an...

It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to fix someone who has made a conscious effort to be stupid. None of these women give a damn about him. Do what you can, but don't expect your efforts to...
