Pygmy

You're going to need a bigger freezer, Rob !!…<<grin>>….

A politician with logic and common sense..That's TWO oxymoron's....

…..Hehehe....

Nice catch, YUM !! Something has been chewing on their tails, though...

Piebald garter snake, perhaps ?

One thing I plan to do is shoot more squirrels, and it has nothing to do with the pandemic... I miscalculated and ran out of squirrel about the end of February...The last couple of months I have been hungry for fricasseed squirrel and I have to wait until September to get any...

Large ears, relatively long legs = relatively small bear.....

First picture appears to be a sow with two year old cubs...Second may be the cubs without Mama...The bear in the lead is a small bear, as is the bear in the third...

Take Pippen for a decoy...... Just be kind when you are unhooking those sharks.. BSLM..BrownSharksLivesMatter…

The ones they catch in Lake Michigan and Superior are the REALLY tough ones....

Yeah, or a 92 pound walleye....

I specifically requested " no egg salad"...Otto came through with a ham/sopressata/ provelone sandwich that was excellent....

I assume you told her " The handsome guy without the beard"...Hehehe...

Hmmmm You were the first one to mention it online, after we agreed that nobody who was NOT in the boat needed to know about it....We reap what we sow..... By the way...Otto's sandwiches were EXCELLENT, weren't they ?? I even saved a piece of mine to share with The Mermaid, and she said Otto could make her sandwiches ANY old time....Hehehe...

I'll bet they tasted AWFUL !!……...

Antietam is awesome....Fewer casualties total, but most in a single day, since it was a one day battle, while Gettysburg was three..Much of the battlefield can be viewed from a single location..

Not as good as the backward fuel line fiasco....

Don't worry about it, Good Buddy.... That wet sticky stuff in your shorts and that rash around your butt didn't mean anything either...

Hi Kevin !! I haven't launched out of the state park, so I don't know what is going on there..Usually good bass, perch and laker fishing there, though..Last time I fished lakers a friend and I took two limits ( 10 total) in about three hours..We were trolling Sutton 31s and 44s on three leader rigs near bottom in around 100 fow near the west side, in front of The Waterfront, Jake's boat livery and the yacht club, but that was about a month ago.If you want panfish, we have been getiing lots of big bluegills and sunfish on the Penn Yan end...Yesterday we were fishing around the outer bouys just outside the channel a couple hundred yards from shore in front of Indian Pines Park in about 8 -10 FOW.. Look for the beds, light colored patches on the bottom and you can catch as many as you want to clean ..Easy fishing, a redworm on a small hook or jighead suspended a foot or two off bottom under a bobber..Another good spot on that end is in front of the water works ( big brick building) on the west side in about 10-12 FOW..You might have to move around a little to find them but once you locate the beds you can catch all you want... Good luck...P.S. if you do decide to fish lakers and launch at Branchport, a good place to start this time of the year is right in front of the boat launch

I grew up in the 60s..Was a married man in 1971 Got married the day TCIII was born...I like 'em fully feathered and natural... It was in the late 1960s when Playboy Mag showed pubic hair for the first time ...Pretty spicy stuff at the time...

The pretty ladies dance on Saturday Night.....It's " The last Lap" now...Locally known as " The Last Lick"... Back when I was a youngster, when it was just a beer joint , it was probably the best place around Dogpatch to get your ass handed to you....Nowadays, it's much more peaceful....

I can't see myself doing too much different, since The Mermaid doesn't eat much red meat anymore and one decent sized deer will do us for the season..Last year I shot two and gave one to a friend... I am, however hoping my Canadian friends will be able to come down and hunt with me this year....Last year we killed 3 bucks from my tower stand on opening day..

yeah..Kinda like a condom in a cathouse..... That's why I use "strike indicators" instead of bobbers... I guess you could call me a "purist"....Hehehe....

BTW....I just wanted to mention to NYTRACKER and CRAPPYICE, that those are STRIKE INDICATORS on our lines, not <<cringe>> bobbers....Tacks, Otto and I are much too accomplished fisherman to revert to using bobbers...

Actually, I am somewhat hurt because none of you mentioned how distinguished my Covid-19 GLM ( Geezer Lives Matter) beard looks... Both Otto and TCIII commented on it, so I baited their hooks for them all morning..
