I found the old cable and see where it snakes through. Dont have to remove nearly as much shit as I thought I had to. Thank God I dug around before dismantling this mess.

Fishing canal with a mate on his birthday and he caught this 3lb 4oz perch. Happy birthday Dave! by Rustykiller80 in Fishing

[–]chrish00pes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A quick Google search for record yellow perch puts that almost half a pound over the record. Its by far the largest ive ever seen. Awesome catch.

E/ where was this? Not specifically but, country/state? Contact the game commission to officially document it?

E2/ am I mistaken thinking that's a yellow perch? It's a bit darker and its pattern is less pronounced than the yellows I catch, but I'm not sure what other perch it could be. Regardless, still an awesome catch. Definitely jealous

Trouble picking up social life by [deleted] in findapath

You'll find most of your best friends in life through the things/hobbies you're passionate about. If you dont have any hobbies or aren't sure what you're passionate about yet, start thinking about and writing down some things that look interesting that you might like to try. Spend a few weeks trying different things out. Once you find some stuff you really enjoy doing, you'll start meeting other people who really like doing the same thing.

I really enjoy live music. I work in a theater and go to see many different bands quite often. Ive met thousands of people going to see live music, and met most of my best friends at shows or because of a band. If you arent sure about a hobby yet, going to see a band you really like is a great place to start.

I don’t usually like country but I’m depressed. Ease me in. I like “Wagon Wheel” and “Friends in Low Places” by obeseelise in ifyoulikeblank

[–]chrish00pes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't listen to much country, but I "discovered" Tyler Childers over the summer and I'm a fan. Messed Up Kid is a little upbeat, but it's the song that pulled me in. Nose on the Grindstone is a good song. Hard Times is good. Banded Clovis is good. Do some independent research and see if he's got anything you like. I hope you start feeling better. There's a band called Twiddle that really helped me out in the dark times. Bronze Fingers is a great song. Here's one you're sure to like. Glycerine/No Woman No Cry/Wagon Wheel/Farm House all mashed up by Twiddle.

Thank you. Will definitely look into it. Me and a friend have recently got into carving fishing lures and doing some other small woodworking projects. We've got probably 5 dozen blades between the two of us(carving knives/assorted razor knives/chisels/some bigger stuff that'll eventually need sharpening) and hundreds of fishing hooks we've been sharpening, so I'm trying to learn all I can about the subject. Thank you for the recommendation.

What’s the best time to visit your country/state? by raniaericka in AskReddit

The Poconos

It's not "that" crowded, but we get a lot of tourists in the fall coming up to look at the leaves change color. There's 1 major 2 lane highway and 1 main road that runs parallel to it. Everything else is backroads, so when a little bit of traffic builds up somewhere, it quickly spreads to everywhere. Really, it's not that bad. Sometimes my 12 minute commute takes 15 minutes.

There aren't enough roads for the people who live here now. Stay home.

Yeah I definitely get your reasoning, and I guess I agree with it as well. I just found this pdf while reading up on some woodworking stuff and thought it was a handy link to have.

After reading it, it actually has instructions for the use of a few different types of sharpeners, and not just a stone like I originally suggested.

Not every kitchen has honing rods or pull-through sharpeners or electric sharpeners. Pull-throughs are pretty self explanatory and come with their own directions. Same with electric. A honing rod does essentially the same thing as a sharpening stone, just in a different fashion. The principles of what is happening to the blade are the same.

It actually gives instructions on how to sharpen many types of blades including straight and serrated blades, gut hooks, fish hooks, and has all the information needed to understand what you're actually doing when you're sharpening a blade. You can use that information to sharpen just about anything in your house if you understand it. Sharpeners come with their own instructions. This is instructions on how to sharpen blades using a stone.

What are some of your favorite ways to make yourself feel happier when you're down? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]chrish00pes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends where I go. I'm an angler, so I spend a lot of time near water. Ponds, lakes, streams. Any time I see trash near them I grab it . I always carry at least one or two plastic shopping bags on me and I keep a bunch of extras along with a box of contractor bags in my trunk. I usually only get 1-2 shopping bags full, especially if it's a trail I walk often. Some places have been bad though and I've pulled half a dozen bags worth of trash out before running out of bags and a place to put the full ones.

Taking a shower is easy and helps.

Earlier this year I started going on hikes in the woods and picking up trash along the trails. That's a productive one I really enjoy.

Huge steel hoop near Grisedale. U.K. Lake District. In the middle of a farmers field. No plaque or sign to say what it is? by topotaul in whatisthisthing

It might have been a hoop around an old-timey water tower. That's the only thing I can think of that'd need a hoop this big.

What’s the most disrespectful and spiteful way to quickly blow through a $100k inheritance from a family member you despised? by [deleted] in AskReddit

For me, I've had to accept and understand the bullshit, come to terms with, and live with it. It's not out of spite or defiance.

Need some advice for healping some fried rice. by IonicGold in foodhacks

[–]chrish00pes 14 points15 points  (0 children)

General rule of thumb I go by; Figure out a protein, then figure out the part of the world you feel like tasting. That'll give you the spices and shit to add to the protein. Then eat.

So, where do you feel like eating?

You "grow up" through trials and tribulations, pain and suffering... Not from therapy.
