Posts: 1906 Location: Oconto Falls, WI | BNelson - 7/11/2012 12:44 PM i personally like the bump wall that you bump the fish up to...makes it a quick and easy way to know you are being accurate...without that wall you could be over or under or try doing that in 3 footers and the fish being squirly...i'll keep mine w a "wall".... ; ) could have one built w "walls" on both sides and tapes going both ways I see the need for the end board for accuracy, but not the side. From the Engineering side of me I assume the side board is actually there more for support of the end board than it is for “bumping” the fish up against. I have never worried about grip when holding a fish. Is someone’s non-dominant hand that much weaker than the dominate? Doubt it. I think it just boils down to feeling comfortable, and how much the non-dominate hand has been used in the past for tasks. On occasion I throw bean bags left handed, as well as darts. Tried horseshoes but that was a big failure!  Thinking back I probably hold with my left hand for one more reason than I already gave, and maybe I developed that sense of comfortableness from my earlier years. Being a wrestler in youth I almost always set up on the left side of the opponent, and thus I used my left hand to control his left arm of which he was trying to get free. Into high school I set-up on the right side of the opponent on occasion throughout a match to keep him off balance, but I always felt most comfortable on the left side. So I feel more comfortable with control in my left hand although my grip strength is probably the same in both hands having the need for a good grip to be a wrestler.

Posts: 1906 Location: Oconto Falls, WI | Guest - 7/12/2012 9:40 AM Pointerpride102 - 7/10/2012 2:43 PM I'm more of an upper cut guy. Usually a fake with the left opens the door for a solid upper cut. With the water so hot, I like to put them out of their misery. Bar Fights 101 Simple rules for any bar fight against a drunk or semi-drunk: Keep your left arm up. Let your opponent take the first shot. (He will). He'll lead with his right and your left arm will block it or at least ensure that he doesn't connect solidly. Once he does so, he'll be off balance and WIDE OPEN for your right, placed firmly on his left jaw. Again, keep your left arm up and let him take the first shot. You'll lay him out every time. Unfortunately, this rule isn't full-proof. If your opponent happens to be a lefty...well, best to be prepared to duck and follow with the uppercut with your right. Great advice, and I am sure to remember it the next time an opportunity may arise in Eagle River.   | ||
