Chris78 Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Just saw the tale end of the orioles HOF inductees ceremony. Really miss watching JJ Hardy play. Not a coincidence that winning baseball in Baltimore returned after acquiring Hardy in a trade. Winning teams are strong up the middle. Having Wieters, JJ and Jones up the middle in their prime provided strong defense and leadership. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Was catching lunkers last night. I realize if you haven’t had this same level of success the typical reaction may be one of jealousy, rage, questioning your shitty fishing abilities, etc. try not to be too hard on yourself. 20+ years of practice, know how , etc got me to this point. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I hooked this week in New Hampshire was my finger. Through the edge and under a nail. Still makes me queasy thinking about using the pliers to remove it. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the time my brother shagged me in my back when casting. Thankfully he had the drag set low on a spinner reel and it didn't dig in too deep. Although that didn't help much at the time. Love the "lunker" snowfan caught. The mouth on that bass is about as big as the fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully he had the drag set low on a spinner reel and it didn't dig in too deep. Although that didn't help much at the time. Love the "lunker" snowfan caught. The mouth on that bass is about as big as the fish. It was everything you can imagine. Like an idiot I left a whopper plopper rigged in the back of the truck. Later, I was moving camping gear, didn’t notice the rod bending and enough slack that the lure came off the rod eye, then, snap! Whatever was bending the rod gave way and the rod straightened. The hook set so fast that I didn’t stand a chance. Worst of all was that my finger kept the rod from completely going slack so the hook had a lot of tension. My gf and buddy saw it happen and of the three of us, I’m not sure who had the worst expression. My gf got the pliers for me, I cut the line, and thought I’d have to push the hook through. But it was so far under my nail that all I could do was grab the hook and twist it out. Surprisingly, as much at it hurt initially, it’s not bad at all now. Thank goodness my gf knows I’m an idiot and had packed neosporin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I got stung by something while biking. And oddly enough, in the gd stomach. Whatever stung me must’ve either got inside my Jersey or it’s stinger pierced the jersey. There’s pain. There’s swelling. This is why I like winter.

Look on the bright side relative to the idea your gf "knows I'm an idiot"... At least you got that part of the relationship behind you already. All of us men are cursed with having the Y chromosome... haha. Thus, it's a forgone conclusion by those without the Y (all women) that all men are idiots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
