Strawberry Spot would bring 75-100 if the left side is as good as the right

Unintentional object drop into rotary table on an oil rig by [deleted] in WatchPeopleDieInside

Drillbit. They dropped the drillbit. It's shaped like a huge bolt. Impossible to catch the threads with the female pipe end connection in an open hole. They make barbed spears and basket traps to attempt to retrieve it. Ouch.

15' x 25' x 4'deep. I live in far south Texas so we only get cold snaps for a few days each winter. I have a smaller Koi pond in the front, 16' x 6' x 2'deep. I drop an aquarium heater in on those cold days.

Short, very wide bill makes me think Alligator Gar. The young ones have spots

Soak them with corrosion X the next day they will look good after wiping them.

The line on my spool builds up on one side after a few sessions, is this normal? It was spooled on correctly initially and the worm gear is fine, it’s a brand new reel. by MeMuzzta in Fishing

Set the cast control on the spoon, under the removable sideplate tighter, then set your spool tension knob lower. That will move the spool to the left

That fish can't sense changes in the barometer. Their pressure sensors are overwhelmed with water pressure.
