    Lake Trout Anyone?

    I would save a lake trout trip for a year with less snow. The slush pockets swallow a lot of machines up in that country on a tough year. I have heard enough horror stories for me to wait for the right opportunity.

    Eating perch roe

    If one of you egg eaters fishes with me, you can have all the fish spawn. Feckin gross.

    Need to get water pump replaced on outboard

    one of the main things to avoid is moving/turning anything after you pull the lower unit. Much easier to put back when it goes in the same way it came out.

    Bubba Rope

    Somebody dropped some coin. I heard some dealers were asking way over the sticker on those, especially in the west coast.

    Lake Oahe pike

    I'd look for green weeds and run a gauntlet of tip ups around the edges. Where I have done the most damage on pike is 2-4 feet below the ice. I had an elderly client that wanted to pickle pike a while back. I ripped a rattle bait in about 3 feet of water around nice green weeds. I had 5...

    Capital Gains

    What is your current top tax bracket? That will determine what rate you will pay on a short term capital gain. If you make "yuge" money and you are in the top brackets, it may be worth trying to get your sale past a year of ownership to make LT capital gains at the max of 15%. If you are in...

    Leaving for Red in the morning...truck just decided to piss purple fluid everywhere

    If it's a power steering hose and you don't have the ability to do it yourself, find a well respected private mechanic. Dealers are usually quite a bit higher for easy jobs like that. I had an Oldsmobile Aurora that spit a alternator. Dealer wanted $1200, private guy wanted $800. I ended up...

    May you be blessed with an easy one. Our first boy was a piece of cake. Slept all night after we figured out his formula around week 5.

    Sasquatch on the loose (again)

    Yeah, but that was probably from me. SOB did give me fleas, though.

    Sasquatch on the loose (again)

    One jumped in an outdoor hot tub with me the other day. We beat our chests, ate Jack Links, and downed Guinness like animals. I was going to take a picture, but my phone was all fogged up. Then he took off with my favorite Simms jacket and left a floater in the hot tub. I tell ya, If I ever...

    another snowblower question

    Do you need reverse? I have a 27 inch Husqvarna and rarely use reverse. I just pull it backwards without using reverse gear about 95% of the time.

    I bought my wife a gun on delivery day. I still "site it in" for her here and there.

    Winter Kill

    Game and Fish used to use aerators on certain lakes years ago. They quit when an older couple got disoriented in a snow storm and drove into the aeration area and both drowned.

    Here is a model to copy: My son weighed around 7lbs and 7 days after he was born I caught this walleye weighing 11lbs 7oz.

    Bouncy chair you can use your foot to bounce is a must. Also, a power swing can make your life a lot easier as well. I reached the ends of the internet and back again in the middle of the night with my boys when they were fresh.

    Congrats! I will have to buy some lures to up the diaper fund.;)

    What do you think ?

    I don't think it changes anything. Walleye are proven to exist. The size is the only question.

    Losing a dear friend

    I was in your shoes two years ago. My buddy would have just turned 8 about a week ago. I fed him a whole bag of beef jerky on the ride to the vet and cried all the way home. Best wishes.
