  1. Me and my fiance had to call turbo tax this year to get new cards expedited because we never got the ones they said they sent. Had to wait additional weeks before we got our returns. Won't be using them again.
  2. Short and fishless trip today. But I brought my boy along. Was nice hanging with him and letting him practice.
  3. I'm fairly sure Indy's fish is a spotted bass. Note the smaller cheek scales, and especially the lack of a separation between the first and second dorsal fins. It's also spotted up the back where a largemouth has a more distinct lateral line, and is just darker on top. The differences are kind of subtle, but the lack of a split in the dorsal fin is the giveaway. Sorry to get so technical though. As far as stripers are concerned, I think I'd have to to the Hudson river. Maybe some day I'll give it a shot. EDIT: Forget about the lateral line actually. And it don't matter in the long run what it
  4. You were my inspiration to post em! And I definitely will. Lost all the pics from last year, but I'll get more.
  5. This one fought for a couple minutes, but the water is still really cold up here so she didn't fight too hard. They're still jumping like the largemouth do. Those crappies have a little fight in them for a smaller(generally) fish too. They're fun. Wouldn't mind figuring out where they stay.
  6. I'm right on lake Ontario, so I have many tributaries, creeks, and bays to choose from. The trouble is getting to the better pockets from the shore. I'm not going to get too serious, just want a kayak to cruise down the rivers and get myself into some back water. Indy, that's a spotted bass correct? Don't think I've caught one of those yet. Thanks for the congrats Spacehog.
  7. I caught my first largemouth, Smallmouth, black crappie, northern pike...maybe another species, all last year when I started getting more serious about fishing. This one was quite a bit bigger than the largemouth I've caught. Edit: maybe one of the LM was about the same size. The pike were the only fish I've caught larger, and even those were not bigger by much. I'm going to get a kayak next month, so maybe I can go after the big ones. where are you now?
  8. I was using a kind of simplified Carolina rig with these. Honestly, I'm happy to catch about anything, but bass are fun. I use mostly jerk baits and Carolina rigs.
  9. Put three more lasers on there and you can shoot the dick off a fly at 1000 yards!
  10. "Big ol scary drum"? More like, "what the hell is that guy doing with a car tire attached to that big ass gun?!"
  11. This is my second year fishing for bass, and this is the biggest black bass I've ever caught. Not a monster, but for a smallmouth I think it's pretty good. Shit picture, but was out on a rock.
  12. I like both, wood of various flavors, and 100 series black poly. More partial to wood as well, but the latter has it's place.
  13. I didn't mean to be negative about the build, just the prolific use of "tactical" in today's market/media. Hell, if it's fun, shoot it!
  14. This one has tactical advertisements on the "custom 4 inches steel fake silencer". Oh guess what? It's the "last one"! Also just $3,100!
  15. This is, "the last one", possibly in existence. "SAIGA AK 47 SPETSNAS TACTICAL SERIES AK47 BANNED". Own it for a cool $2,650.
  16. Sorry Spartacus, I'm not trying to bash you, it's just the whole "what's trending" bullshit drives me nuts. It was not a personal attack against you.
  17. There's nothing wrong with a .22 being used for hunting small game...the point was, that doesn't make them tactical. It's not a descriptive term, because it does not describe what they are. It describes what the people who post the shit call anything with a weaver/picatinny rail. I'm really not trying to be a dick! But calling .22s tactical is pretty much what leads to tactical toe nail clippers, and tactical hot dogs. And who is to say that a .22 shaped like an m4 is cooler than a Henry golden boy, or "cooler than other .22s" I certainly wouldn't agree. The label is the problem. I just sugges
  18. Asking about a tactical rifle is a loaded question I think (no pun intended). It seems to me that if you are set on 'tactical', tactics go out the window, and what you really want is opinions on some kind of AR. I mean, what the hell is a tactical .22? What tactics are you employing? I feel like the most tactical thing a rimfire rifle is going to do is take small game in some kind of survival scenario. And in that case the best "tactical" .22 is the one that is best suited to taking small game. Maybe the most rugged. Now there are a few cases of rimfires being used to some degree in combat. Bu
  19. There's a difference between asking a lot of questions and assuming you're going to turn into a badass army ranger if you buy a bunch of "tactical" guns and gear. I was hoping for a little less bashing, and a little more funny though to be honest. Might we lower our noses a bit and get back to the hahas?
