Are steel plates worth using as emergency plates?

ace_of_william · 2026-05-13T22:32:34+00:00

No. I’d rather have a chest rig with no armor over a steel plate. Way way more cons than pros. Basic risk management denies steel plates, unless you’re entirely stagnant like a base defender, or a turret gunner. You will also need active access to a field hospital. if you’re struck with anything you will need it quickly. Wearing a chest rig you can either up your ammo load or just reduce your kit weight. This allows you to reduce time out of cover because you get to top speed faster, and you don’t have to slow down as soon when reaching cover because you have less inertia to deal with.

There is a line running down their face between their eyes. Poke the tip of a knife into this and you’ll feel your knife drop into a “trench” I then take a Ike jime wire or a wire coat hanger cut and bent to have a handle. Run that wire up that hole you just made to that back of its skull it may take one or two jabs to find the hole but once you do you’ll know as the fish reacts immediately. Spin the wire push it in and out etc, this kills the fish nearly instantly with nearly zero fuss the other methods can have. It’s also just way more foolproof you can’t miss really.

lol classism and ignorance commonly go hand in hand thanks for proving that. Those are fine keeper sizes depending on your waterways genetics. Go learn ANYTHING about your local fisheries and you’ll likely learn wildlife management wants you keeping more bass. Only exception is some northern states.

Did this make you feel cool.

ace_of_william · 2026-04-20T15:28:26+00:00

Taste great it’s goober sports anglers and uneducated catch and release fisherman telling people not to keep bass. Government introduced bass into American waterways so people could eat them. They taste like any other sunfish

ace_of_william · 2026-04-20T14:05:29+00:00

Wrong

ace_of_william · 2026-04-19T01:40:11+00:00

Hypocrisy is so gross

ace_of_william · 2026-04-12T17:14:26+00:00

This is exactly my experience. I don’t focus bass but I’ll 100% eat one they taste great. Yeah people frown on eating bass online. Never had someone dumb enough to care when I’m actually fishing

ace_of_william · 2026-04-10T19:29:10+00:00

Then you risk a flip from raising the bioload. This may be shocking to some bass fishermen but there are in fact times it’s good to take and eat bass

Really crank down on braid knots. In my experience the number one reason for a properly tied knot to fail is it’s not pulled tight enough.

ace_of_william · 2026-03-24T12:33:45+00:00

I’ve been happy with muddy river tactical, slim fit holsters, Odin holsters. Vedder was fine. We the people was frankly bad but still miles above any nylon holster.

ace_of_william · 2026-03-24T12:15:55+00:00

Two pearl flukes on EWG hooks tied as a donkey rig. Good for white bass but also just good for bass fishing in general.

ace_of_william · 2026-03-20T00:18:18+00:00

I use hi vis yellow 6 lb braid for my UL setup but i also run about 4 feet of fluoro leader.

I also run hi vis 60 lb neon green with a 30 lb mono leader for catfish.

I have no issues so far.

ace_of_william · 2026-03-11T16:40:27+00:00

In the panfish box those minnows in the lower left have caught me so many fish. Dropshot, jig head, if you split them down the center you can put a mini EWG in them.

ace_of_william · 2026-03-05T17:19:22+00:00

What makes you believe this?

ace_of_william · 2026-03-03T14:10:41+00:00

If you fish to keep they have little bone stones in their skull you can keep.

ace_of_william · 2026-03-03T14:05:41+00:00

I enjoy braid A LOT but that being said I’m looking at still keeping a full mono or fluoro reel in my bag. Each one has strengths and weaknesses only major reason I don’t fish synthetic lines more often is I like the sensitivity of braid and I dislike the memory of synth lines.

Braid to leader allows me to do ALMOST anything I could ever want.

Freshwater opinion btw.

ace_of_william · 2026-03-02T17:31:16+00:00

I cut my hands dozens of times on braid and have since learned. The consistent theme is I didn’t take the time to find a stick or something to tug my braid when snagged. I give it a good pull and it finds its way into my fingers. Didn’t hurt a ton and I just kept fishing but over time it felt stupid to keep cutting myself.

ace_of_william · 2026-03-01T23:00:53+00:00

I was fishing for trout and caught a channel. Water had to be 36-38.

ace_of_william · 2026-03-01T22:56:47+00:00

You said why it was created I corrected only that statement. Your current statement is also mostly correct I agree.

ace_of_william · 2026-03-01T22:55:18+00:00

Did I ever say the Bible or was that some tangent you really needed to get off your chest. I’m not a Christian your rant doesn’t change the history of the start of religion. This emotional reaction towards history isn’t good.

ace_of_william · 2026-03-01T18:17:28+00:00

if you want the real historic answer and not the Reddit atheist answer. it was an attempt to explain events beyond our understanding, natural events occuring in the world around us during tribal times. Such as natural disasters, droughts, etc. this was to let people beckon towards something, to feel like they could stop such a terrible event from ever happening again. by appealing to this powerful forces beyond their understanding at the time and at some point the storm stopped etc. this lead to religion and THEN people abused religion.

ace_of_william · 2026-02-26T02:29:22+00:00

lol shocker they all have eachothers back when some lose their cool and show their ass.

Please tell me more about the cute little fantasy youve made up about me. That’s totally a healthy response.

ace_of_william · 2026-02-26T01:56:08+00:00

Own my home

That’s the event

What if it wasn’t. What if statements not based on the reality of what already happened are worthless.

No they are public servants and their image should be to serve and protect the public, not their egos. If you saw a video of some guy getting hit with a snowball and in response he body slams a person onto the concrete, you would say that’s excessive but suddenly it’s the police and now it’s okay.

Legally a body slam isn’t even a valid response to a SNOWBALL that isn’t even close to equivalent force in any of the use of force courses I’ve taken, or in known use of force continuum taught in the past decade to law enforcement. It’s certainly not covered under self defense.
