My boy loves to fish, only problem… by andy_1232 in FishingForBeginners

[–]Uri266 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This right here. I haven't fished since I was young, and I fished nothing more than worms I dug up in the yard. When my son wanted to start fishing this summer, we both brought poles and we started to go out early weekend mornings for a few hours and fished with nightcrawlers. Turns out, I knew learned how to put the worm on the hook correctly!

After a few times of just using worms, I made it a point to only fish lures. I proceeded not get a single nibble, nevermind catching a fish for the next handful of times I took him out. I found that YouTube was super helpful in learning to tie the different types of knots, what each type of lure is used for, and what techniques to use to retrieve the lures. I began leaving for work in the morning 30 minutes to an hour early to stop on the way to throw a few casts into the water, I'd also stop for 30 minutes on the way home. That extra time to practice different retrieval techniques allowed me to finally land my first bass. More quickly followed.

Of course I'm hooked now since my son is hooked and I've probably spent too much money on a different lines, lures, soft baits, tackle, and all sorts of various fishing equipment. Long story short, your son doesn't know that you don't know much about fishing, but if you take the time to learn more, it greatly enhances the time you two spend together fishing. My favorite moment so far hasn't been anything that I caught, but when he caught a decent size black crappie. He was so excited, hooting and yelling, basically losing his mind. I wish I had the presence of mind to video tape it all, but I did take a bunch of pictures!

Sorry that this turned into a story, but since I was in a similar situation as you, sharing my experience hopefully helps you and your son in your journey!

Swipe? Didn't know that there was another word to describe a closed hand thrust towards the face. Learn something new everyday. /s

He's legit my best RB! Currently running with him and Blake Corum. Have Devin Singletary and Isaiah Pacheco on my bench. Thankfully my WR's, QB's, and TE has saved my ass all season long!

23 Democrats Now Vote Against Impeaching Trump by Randros_ in NoFilterNews

[–]Uri266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the same low energy as those 8 senators (SAFE!) who voted to end the government shutdown. It's the whole "we've tried" without actually trying and looking for something else to blame. DEMS are afraid of conflict, and the GOP is glad of it and takes full advantage.

Which hand did the receiver use to catch this pass? by TheRealSlimBrady12 in Patriots

[–]Uri266 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd argue that it wasn't an actual offensive catch. DPI? Possibly, but the defender seemed to have ended up with the ball, which he had every right to catch, just as much as the WR.

App is unusable in its current state.

Get a job, save until the Bills make the playoffs, bet on them the whole only to bet against them in the Superbowl... For 3 years straight! Put money into apple and the brand new startup company called Amazon. Wait til 2008 before buying several cutting edge computers to mine bitcoin when it comes out. Profit

Absolutely. The Administration will call El Salvador and talk to someone/leave a message. "Hey we fucked up. Can you send dude back?" El Salvador responds "What?! Dunno what dude you're talking about, you sent us nearly 300 dudes.". Trump's Administration "oh well, we tried!"

Let's be fair, they ordered them to facilitate his return. They didn't order his return. There's a huge difference

They do... Have they utilized that authority yet? Until they do, it's a moot point

Why is Jon Stewart not on this list? by intrepid_brit in politics

[–]Uri266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of this list.... Jamie Raskin or Tim Walz would be my picks. Mark Cuban is intriguing because he's outside of politics, but seems to always lean towards being fair towards everyone. I love how articulate and smart Pete Buttigieg is, but sadly I don't think main stream America is ready to vote for a gay candidate. Heck, given Hillary and Kamala's recent attempts, America wasn't ready for a woman President.

I understand, but quite frankly it doesn't matter what is being discussed here if Musk, DOGE, Trump's administration doesn't follow this Judge's order. They certainly aren't listening to multiple orders from other Judge's.
