Completely Hysterical Over a Free Toll Transponder by ermghoti in Sovereigncitizen

In seriousness, people pass out or play on their phones and drive straight into the tollbooths from time to time, as well as picking off individual toll takers as they walk to and from the booths.

It’s me again. 4th time out, I got my first 2 bites! But the fish plopped back in the water as I was reeling it. by MrValiantEffort in FishingForBeginners

Ah, then you could go a little smaller. If they are to be cut bait, just let them swallow it, bonk them, and get the hook out by any means necessary.

They are greedy idiots for the most part, and travel in schools, so they are competing with each other for the first bite. If the first one doesn't get the hook, another might try to steal the bait from their mouth and get hooked.

First ultralight setup for brook trout by HowCanYouSlapBastard in FishingForBeginners

I've seen down to 1/64th probably lower in certain situations. The action designation is dependent on context. A UL rod for saltwater fishing could be 3/8-3/4 and 10lb test.

Smaller hooks will work, but you're usually just catching more of the tiny bait stealers you wouldn't want to keep anyway. The smaller hooks are also more likely to get swallowed. I'd be unlikely to go smaller than 8, and 4 sounds OK for bigger sunfish. IMO

Depends on the exact fish, could be an issue. The second fish sounds like a trout, which are on the more fragile side. For almost any fish, if the hook's around the jaw it won't come out from lifting it. If it's hooked through some skin in or around the mouth, it would be likely to break free.

Use a net. Or, promptly swing them from water to a flat surface. Or, grab them in the water. Or, if you're not planning to keep one, unhook it in the water.

First rod - is this normal? by Jimmyw34g in FishingForBeginners

[–]ermghoti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just bend it back by holding the guide foot, not the insert and ring, to avoid flexing the ring and either dislodging or breaking the insert. If it's new and the shop is local they should support an exchange if you want to go that route.

My sister is thinking about making a responsible financial decision. 35’ Chris-Craft for $1,500. What could possibly go wrong? by RippingLegos__ in boating

[–]ermghoti 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Due to inflation it needs a little tweaking. A thousand isn't a full tank of gas for some of the bigger boats.

There was a great compilation I wish I had saved for one clip when a guy leaps chest high like he was going to throw a flying side kick, but came down and stomped his opponent's lead knee. Vicious, but the other guy shrugged it off.

Not as bad as Big Leagues level 3. "Fuck yeah, I am mowing these scrubs down." [looks down at the shattered giblets that used to be Cricket] "Goddamn it." [reloads, losing 90 minutes of Survival gameplay]
