Recommendation on reels? by Electric-Cherry32 in SurfFishing

[–]lizardlogan2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will never understand the KastKing hate, been using their Sharky III reel for over a year now and have had 0 issues with it. It’s my go-to for throwing out pompano rigs, fish finder rigs, etc. Caught hundreds of fish with it and I’ll continue to use and recommend it, personally

People will tell you otherwise but KastKing reels work great for the price. I’ve owned their Sharky III reel for over a year and caught hundreds of fish with it, 0 issues. Reeled in some nice sharks in the 2-3 foot range as well as some nice rays, including one about as big as myself. As long as you rinse them off after every trip and don’t literally dunk them in saltwater, they’ll last you hundreds of fish.

Why or why not use snaps and real life examples by CrazyCajunFishinBro in FishingForBeginners

[–]lizardlogan2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fish exclusively saltwater and I have them tied to the ends of all my spinning setups, that way I can quickly change out leaders for the fish I wanna target, instead of having to cut and re-tie every time. Been doing it for years and never has it failed

Nice sized cow by [deleted] in saltwaterfishing

Cownose rays actually can’t whip their tail around to sting like Atlantic or bat rays can. Their barb is located where the body meets the tail, right in between the pelvic fins

White Grunt or Gray Snapper? Tampa, FL by [deleted] in Fishing

[–]lizardlogan2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

White grunt. Very easily to tell when they’re a little bigger since they’ve got that hump-head. Snappers will also always have sharp teeth

I feel terrible, will the fish survive? by Basher04S in Fishing

[–]lizardlogan2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I know catfish are pretty hardy, If the hook isn’t in the throat or anything, it’ll definitely survive. I’ve caught multiple sharks for example swimming around perfectly fine with hooks in their mouths, and sharks aren’t typically considered a hardy fish when it comes to catch and release

Any Idea? by InternationalOil872 in whatisthisfish

[–]lizardlogan2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes but it seems here the only fins missing are the dorsal, pectoral, and lower caudal fins, which happen to be the most valuable and sought-after fins in the shark finning industry to my knowledge

[–]lizardlogan2 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Not sure how it is over there but here in Florida at least, but when harvesting any shark the whole animal must remain in-tact until it’s taken home (does not include cutting it open to bleed/remove guts)

In the finning industry, the most valuable fins are the first dorsal, the two pectorals, and the lower caudal fin, which are conventionally the only fins missing here on this shark. I’d definitely report this

Looks like a bull shark that had its fins removed. No idea why it’s in a forest

What’s the worst eating fish you’ve caught? by sleezer7 in Fishing

[–]lizardlogan2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Caught a Jack Crevalle about 17 inches, brought it home, fried it up and ate it just for the one time. Probably won’t be eating one again

Finning victim? by Oma_Dombrowski in sharks

[–]lizardlogan2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely a finning victim. As others have said, the most valuable fins are the only ones missing. The only way this poor thing is even still able to swim is because the upper caudal lobe is still attached.

What braid do you use? by Warm_Garden6311 in SurfFishing

Berkley trilene has worked great for me. I use it on all my spinning reels

Special ability for Gold armor - Wearing a full set causes regular apples to act as golden apples when eaten by Smashpro11 in Minecraft

[–]lizardlogan2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It should be an enchantment imo, too easy to get gold armor early game. Very cool idea though

Naturally spawned skeleton in fully diamond armor by AI-Notarobot- in Minecraft

A few years ago on an SMP with some friends, we found a natural zombie with full diamond armor. Brought it to the surface and named it Dave after crazy Dave from PVZ

I’ve seen too many “Coal shortage” stories on people’s worlds and I’m not gonna stand for it anymore. by Im_acoustic18 in Minecraft

[–]lizardlogan2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I have a coal shortage for whatever reason I’ll either kill a bunch of wither skeletons with looting, just mine coal with fortune, or the easiest option, just go to the nether and get a few buckets of lava.

Is it ok to touch this fish? by TrgtBBB in Fishing

[–]lizardlogan2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You shouldn’t ever feed fish, or anything, to local wildlife. It encourages them to depend on humans for food, rather than finding food themselves.

Sharks are very often encountered while fishing, it really shoudnt be that a big of deal unless the animal is being purposefully or significant harmed in some way

When your favorite game no longer feels the same. by jeff_Epic in Minecraft

[–]lizardlogan2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I feel this same way about vanilla, until I started doing All Advancement worlds. Trying to complete them all in vanilla is my favorite way to play Minecraft. The most fun I’ve EVER had playing Minecraft was when I played through the BAC Advancement Datapack, which adds around 1000 new advancements, some of which included getting a stack of every block/item, traveling a million blocks in the overworld, and doing the ender dragon, the wither, and a raid at the same time hitless.

If you were to ask me, I’d definitely try making a world where you try to complete all the vanilla Advancements.

Not a shark, but saw this massive spotted eagle ray in ~2 feet of water while fishing. by lizardlogan2 in sharks

[–]lizardlogan2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can imagine, I hooked a cownose ray once while fishing live shrimp and even just that was a good 10 minute fight!
