I'm heading to the Canadian shield with the wife for a week of fishing, joking around and romance making. Leaving Monday around 3:00 a.m. Rest assured, I'll be thinking of everyone here as we reel in our 153rd smallmouth, not to mention the walleyes and pike. Geez, I almost feel bad for you guys/girls as you slave away while I'm sitting in the middle of a lake. Well, not really.

LOL Tex, you are so cynical...
if you want the romance to be good? don't forget to pack the chigger and poison ivy "cures" Posted by T e x on :
cynical? yikes...I offer it as proof positive of my optimism: hope springs eternal... Posted by Upside on :
Wow, you guys are hilarious. Well, again, enjoy your week while Mr. & Mrs. Up are a-fishing and a-spooning.

Only got the one that's been in my wallet since 1982, that should do.

Well, did everyone enjoy their week? I certainly did. Hot as a pistol but it was a great trip. My wife outfished me again by landing a 9 pound walleye, a 5 pound smallmouth and about a 20 pound northern. Beat me in quantity too. BUT, I wasn't at work while the rest of you, or most of you anyway, were. I get the feeling that at times quite a few of you think "damn, if only I could be like Up", right?

darn right, you are one lucky dude, does she clean 'em too?
Posted by Upside on :
Just kidding around Glass. She won't even touch them much less clean them. Besides, where we go it's all catch and release, can't even keep anything for lunch. I guess I agree with their policy but I'm a bit worried that it's going too far. Some fish have to be removed from the lake, it's beginning to be overrun with smaller fish. That's when you need a few years of harvesting the smaller "eaters".
Posted by jordanreed on :
what,?...no shore lunch?
Posted by Upside on :
Yeah, they'll make it if you want it. They buy the fish from the commercial fisherman that fish the lake. Kind of hard with the wife though. By noon she's gotta pee pretty bad and she's not one for going in the woods so we usually head back to the lodge for lunch.

i fished the little missourri last month...
just below lake greeson...
i kept catching these pesky rainbow trout when i was TRYING to catch bass and pike...
seriously? the rainbows were hitting a 5 inch jointed rapala... running about 2-3 pounds... the fly rodders were getting annoyed with me.... Posted by T e x on :
dem pesky rainbows? great striper bait...when stripes are thumbin' their nose at shad, will still hit rb's--check your local regs Posted by Upside on :
What's a trout? Isn't that something that the true aficionados (fly fisherman) go after? Poor guys don't understand that you need pounds of hardware to catch true fish.

Posted by glassman on :

I usually jerk........ahhh nevermind, probably shouldn't discuss it openly, it's a private thing.

Greetings To All:
The Munchkin Man is really going to enjoy this work week.
This weekend the Munchkin Man signed up two more students for the Munchkin Man's private math tutoring program.
Through the combined efforts of the Munchkin Man's tutoring and his meticulous proofreading of mathematics textbooks, the Munchkin Man is now making a far greater impact upon the mathematical literacy of America's precious school children than the Munchkin Man ever did in all the years he spent in the classroom.
Granted, very few children are blessed to become tutored by the Munchkin Man.
The positive effect of his tutoring is only felt for about about a maximum radius of about thirty miles at the present time.
On the other hand, the Munchkin Man's proofreading efforts are felt nationwide.
That's because the mathematics textbooks the Munchkin Man proofreads will be used nationwide.
Take heart.
The Munchkin Man is promoting the mathematical literacy of America's precious school children on both a national and local level.
Good luck to all.
Best Wishes,
Munchkin Man
