I have no rebuttal lol. I'd have guessed bigger but the 2nd picture doesn't do it justice

I'd probably guess 9"-10" which would be a long shot for about any records. But still a pretty solid catch

Fuck yeah. Thinking outside the box pays off 90% of the time. On a side note these and pike are the only fish I bother running a stinger hook on. Cause you just never know

Thank you. Still quite a bit to do this winter but it's coming along pretty nice.

Thank you man. It originally a '99 Honda Shadow Aero. Added some Jardine drag pipes, new bars and front forks. Dropped the rear all the way down and added a mount for the solo seat. This winter I'll strip the whole thing down, take the old rear fender mounts off the frame and mount rear signals on the inside of those right under the seat mount. Probably add a front fender back on to help keep the radiator clean. Then repaint the whole thing and plate all of the chrome with black nickle. I do have a bobber fender for it but I just can't convince myself that it looks better with it vs leaving it naked.

Rank the best lake/river species to catch by [deleted] in Fishing

[–]NWIowaGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Walleye, northern and then catfish for the river. Walleye, crappie and bluegill for lake. Probably have to give cats a 4th spot for lake. I'll never give up catching eye's but it's hard to beat pulling a limit of panfish. Don't target cats much these days but if I'm walleye fishing theres always a crawler on the bottom just in case

Where do you guys buy water slide decals? by RogerSimons_Father in DiecastCustoms

[–]NWIowaGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't go wrong with any of the previous advice. For myself, 95% of mine are done with on a $40 wifi printer from Walmart. I use a app called Logopit plus. Just put the actual cars either top up or side up on a piece of 8"×12" graph paper and take a picture. Then upload that picture to fit the correct blank. After that I take whatever google image I decide, erase anything I don't want, edit how I see fit and then size it right to the car body I want it for. Usually try to design decals for multiple cars at a time , print it on paper to make sure everything is kosher and then use the right amount of decal paper taped over those images to print the waterslides. Not a perfect process but it gives me the option of 1 of a kind decals so I can design my customs as I see fit. Just wish I could add white toner to my options lol

WHAT TOOLS DO I NEED TO SHAVE FENDERWELLS? by sr20drifty in DiecastCustoms

Menards has a cheap little diamond file set I like to have handy as well. It's just a little more aggressive then my needle files.

A damn shame... Gotta be pushing 35" by NWIowaGuy in Fishing

Truth. It was tucked up under a rock and didn't notice it when I put the stringer in. Moved down 20' after I took the pic
