    Wish I Used Barbless Hooks

    Actually it barely hurt. Felt more like pressure and a pinch. Crazy. I pushed in and backed it out as far as i could. Then told my son to put pressure above the entry and yanked. Made a really interesting “pop” when the barb pulled out. Only bled a little. Crazy it was a newer rapala and the...

    What's For Dinner?

    no Nothing wrong with cheats at all. Esp when it comes to sauces. It's so easy to use a store bought BBQ, Sweet Sour, Orange, Curries, etc etc and jazz it up a bit with a dash of this or that, maybe some veggies. I do it all the time, except with my red sauce, never mess with my red sauce! ;)
