    alberta fires

    The Fort McMurray fire covers 85,000 hectares. This overlays gives you some perspective. Can you imagine the fire this large AND the flames 50'-60' in the air?? Looking at that video above make one wonder if you were sitting in that string of cars unable to move forward, what the temp was...

    Giant Paddlefish

    As a protected fish, aren't they supposed to remain in the water if not harvested? Something similar to the sturgeon?

    Vets

    Father served in the US Navy during WWII and my older brother served in the US Navy during Vietnam. I spent 23yrs on active duty (1983-2006) with the NG. Retired and really enjoy having my weekends back again. Many workweeks were 12-19 days of work without a day off. Worried with what kind...

    Boots

    I have a pair of the Meindl Ultralights in non-insulated. That really helps out in the beginning of the season when your legs may not be ready for treks up and down the western landscape of NDak. They are comfortable and did an excellent job last season (first season with this boot) against...

    Giant Paddlefish

    There's a whole bunch of 'em just north of Bis/Man on the river. I assume that's where you were located? That one has been in this neck of the river for quite some time to be that size. I imagine when she was an 1' long she made it through the turbines at the damn.

    Gas power washer??? Which one to buy?

    I feel the best purchase is one that doesn't fall apart and has more than 2,700psi. PSI is important because it's the amount of water that can be forced on to your cleaning surface. However, if you go up to a 3,500psi you can also peel paint off from your vehicle. I believe my Brute machine...

    Work sharp sharpener

    Pulled the plug and bought the Ken Onion Edition. I have three filet knives, three sets of blades for the mowing deck on my lawn tractor, two blades for the lawn mower, and lots of hunting/steak knives. I hope the thing will pay for itself when comparing $25 sharpening fee for each set...

    ND Musky

    The fight was on for 15-20mins! The beast came out of the water three times, much like a swordfish does; flopping in mid-air. In hindsight, the fish was probably close to dead by the time we got him out of the water. He gave everything he had. My arms were sore just trying to keep the rod...

    ND Musky

    I've landed and 'stuffed' a 49" pure muskellunge, weighing 31lbs, back in 2006. Yes, it was from New Johns Lake. I was pulling shallow cranks around an island for sunbathing walleye. He only got the back two treble hooks and was on Fireline, so he was committed for the entire ride. I tried...

    How far would you go to be remembered as a hunter/fisherman upon your passing? Here's one guy who went FARTHER than most: ;:;popcorn Friday, April 29, 2016 5:26 a.m. by Doug Leier Fishermen Use Dead Friend's Ashes As Bait -- Two British fishermen have some interesting bait to thank for...

    Very Cool Video!

    Yes, at first my mind was thinking they were using mercury! Ahhhhhh, upside down with weights. Oxygen goes 'up' towards the hole.

    NFL Draft tonight

    I think Philly knows that the Rams are going with Goff and they plan to land Wentz at #2. I thought there was an article floating around on FB where someone from the Eagles' organization or a sports writer for the Eagles already arrived in Bismarck on Tuesday. That says something about their...

    planting grass.... this is awesome... not

    Most of the seed won't germinate for another month, if the soil temps don't go up. I believe the landscaping folks don't even begin to lay stuff down until after Mother's Day. If you already have it laid, it might be lots of water through May.

    Keep it Classy Williston

    You don't think there will be the need for just as many peace officers there after the switch?? I can sense the testosterone of the sports bar might come in close proximity to the estrogen-wannabe's near the entrance door. What lovely places to have next door to each other! It will be just...

    In-Fisherman must have sold the farm to Berkley.

    I ended my subscription from In-Fisherman, too. They have lost focus on what they did best, and in my opinion, have slid downhill. I get tons of emails from them wanting me back...... Nope. That sailboat left the dock already.

    Last night I was thinking about fishing, as I often do...

    My uncle was the guy who introduced me to shore fishing, boat fishing, and ice fishing.... He knew Lake Darling and Lake Audubon like the back of his hand. I didn't like fishing THAT much back then, because a 10yo doesn't have the patience to sit on a wood bench in an old aluminum boat...
