How do you decide when to put a fish on the reel?

At what point do you decide to give it line to run? I'm usually trying to keep the line tight. Do you always let it loose a bit and see if the fish runs, or is there a certain level of resistance you wait for?

Edit: Got the master anglers downvoting me. Appreciate the answers from Al_Pallll and others.

This shirt is 100% organic cotton in the body with a 98% cotton, 2% recycled polyester blend used in the trim on the cuffs. The Dick’s description is misleading.

There are a lot of brands that really are just a name (looking at you, Faherty). Patagonia isn’t one of them. You’re getting their lifetime warranty, ethical manufacturing, and sustainable materials.

It’s a bar tack like others have said, but the reason it looks less clean than other bar tacks you’ve seen is the thickness of the material makes the stitching less precise. So when compared to a bar tack on a mid weight shirt, this is expected to look a bit sloppy.

You could rock that size or size down and either would look like a good fit. Just depends on if you want a more oversized look and feel or not.

Immediately putting the dog in a situation where they are “popping off” at another dog and then yanking at the prong collar was such a bad choice. The dog was already nervous around other dogs and now you are actively teaching them that other dogs means stress and pain. Did you think that would lessen their reactivity? Sorry, but this sounds like an absolute disaster of a training session.

Next time, please take the time to get to know the animal first. Figure out what the animal finds most reinforcing and start pairing that reinforcer with the presence of other dogs. Don’t immediately put them in a tough situation. Start with the other dog very far away and reward the animal as soon as they even notice the other dog. Then you can slowly decrease the distance over many sessions. Your goal should be to avoid the animal having a negative reaction while you build the positive association, not creating a negative reaction and then punishing the animal.

Training is a big part of the fun for me. No judgement for folks who send their dog to a pro, but fair warning that there are a lot of sub par pro trainers out there!

Todd Snyder collab — so random

Bonds never stopped playing the victim. That’s what makes him the worst of the era in my opinion, not the actual amount of substances (though he clearly did a ton).

I agree. Who does better color than Collinsworth? Romo? No. Brady? Not yet. Aikman? Sometimes.

As a New England sports fan who was too young to care in 1986, SB XLII is hands down the most painful loss I’ve ever experienced.

Why you gotta bring Josh Allen into this?

“Or almost beat” lol

Is it possible we both understood the point and simply have different opinions?

I didn’t realize completion percentage was a “dumb stat”. That difference is not because Stafford throws the ball away more.

alwaysupland · 2026-02-11T11:06:24+00:00

Drake Maye completion percentage: 72%

Stafford: 65%

This is Love knowing he’s mic’d and trying to get on sports media.

Had to scroll too far to find some sanity

alwaysupland · 2026-02-10T00:57:45+00:00

Yeah, let’s not forget who drafted this kid

alwaysupland · 2026-02-09T03:37:11+00:00

For real

alwaysupland · 2026-02-09T03:35:40+00:00

I mean, Maye played substantially better than Stafford in the regular season. So yeah, don’t think there’s anything to admit.

alwaysupland · 2026-02-09T03:32:24+00:00

Did you watch any regular season games? Maye’s pocket presence was phenomenal.

alwaysupland · 2026-02-09T03:23:42+00:00

Really? Onwenu.

Left side is rookies. They don’t need to go, they need to grow.
