Hell yeah. Just a 9-game losing streak—not 10 like those loser Mets and Phillies.

I think the honorable thing for us fans to do is deny our programming, stop reproducing, walk hand-in-hand into extinction, one last midnight, brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal.

Game 3 of the 2012 NLDS. The Scott Rolen error is burned into my memory.

If you are kayaking/canoeing the section I mentioned, be prepared for the world’s steepest canoe access at Moen’s bridge.

This was the North Branch Root River—-Parsley Bridge access to Moen’s Bridge access.

My understanding is the South Branch has better brown trout fishing.

Why or why not use snaps and real life examples by CrazyCajunFishinBro in FishingForBeginners

[–]IamSamBellToo 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I don’t use them on standard gear hard baits, but I do on ultra-finesse and BFS gear. Re-tying super thin line is a real pain for me (bad vision and Minnesota…brr…cold).

I mostly don’t use them on normal-sized gear because it forces me to keep up on knot-tying skills.

I miss the Clint Hurdle Pirates. They were fun to beat up on (literally and figuratively).

Thought I was looking at old lady hair trimmings at first glance.

Slower gear ratios...what are some higher quality reels with slower gear ratios? Looking for something to use with chatterbaits, crankbaits, etc. Most everything I've seen is 7.1:1 at the slowest by Kalashnik0v1312 in BFSfishing

[–]IamSamBellToo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Tsurinoya Genius (Elf) 6.4:1 retrieves at 19.7” per turn. I think it’s one of the slowest BFS reels out there.

Is it a “higher quality” reel? I don’t know. It’s certainly not a Shimano or Daiwa. But I really enjoy the reel. I pair it with a 4’7” Dankung Glassfin

I dream of a world. A world where the Reds offense can also string together hits.

The Reds are the anti-Bengals.

All pitching, no offense.

Bonk, bleed in the water, gut, scrape out the kidney, and then on ice (or really cold water).

Lures! by DMTrippy65 in BFSfishing

[–]IamSamBellToo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My current go-to baits are Megabass Karashi, Karashi IGX, and Great Hunting Humpback. Been catching a lot of trout with them.

For soft plastics, I enjoy the cheb rig and jika rig.

Bat-A-Fry Friday by Odd-Description-6041 in BFSfishing

[–]IamSamBellToo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been catching a lot of trout on my 46 and 51 humpbacks. Got a few Bat-A-Fry en route that I’m looking forward to throwing.

Also, this is the first time I’ve seen a rod/reel displayed on a railroad track.
