Location: S.E. Wisconsin | I would like to hear any you may have about muskies? I acually am stubborn and have many, but one that sticks out and was disproved was that fish do NOT eat top water on presurred lakes.  |

| You can't catch a musky in Iowa on a Bucktail so it doesn't pay to trow anything except a Wades Wobbler. |

They're all preconceived

| I guess the pre-concieved notion I disagree with most is the idea that CPR doesn't hurt the fish. I believe all of these things can't be anything but negative for the fish: hooking the fish, the fight, (sloppy) release technique. Who can disagree that an unhooked fish is healthier that a free swimming fish.
Now don't go throwing PETA stones at me, I know people have the priveldge to catch and release (or keep) a fish. I'm not suggesting any further restrictions than what are already in place in each state. The less laws the better; but people must view themselves as stewards of the resources with with we are blessed. And behave accordingly.
But hooking a fish hurts the fish, period. (I hope to hook one this evening!) |

Linda? Linda McCartney? Is that really you? Have you been reincarnated as my favorite lib, Ranger? But I must say, he is sounding more conservative these days. Less laws are better? That's a pretty extreme position for you to take, Ranger. Robert Byrd is going send the Klan after you!

Location: Ontario | Fish only look at #10's (or any other bucktail) if you bring it back to the boat at 275 mph.
I like 'em slow and low some times, or tied beefy and bulged slow too.

| Sorry Shep, no Linda's here. Don't know anything about her.
As you know, Shep, I'm pretty liberal on some issues and not so muchon others. I hope to support comon sense, but of course first I have to build my capacity to recognize it when it comes by. I'm trying. |

| Maybe you didn't get those commercials featuring Linda McCartney in the UP. Featured her crying about how hooks cause the fish pain. Ran during Gillespie's show. What a hoot!
And I know you ar e trying, Ric. I knew I talked some sense into you while watching those spearers set up there TeePee on Roberts!
How is Tim? Eric is playing Legion baseball now, and went 5-0 for JV HS team this year. He's nearly as tall as me!
