Just read this thread. What a way to start my day. I used to fish quite a bit and have had snakes try to get in my boat a bunch of times. My head will be on a swivel all day, especially around the clothes hamper!

I see what you did there. Subtle and slick! Nice!

Totally awesome!

Ditto on the observations and insight by Deux! Thanks, man!

I just stumbled on to this thread. Sure has been fun reading it. I love to fish but have not do so in about 7 years. The kind of fishing I did for 20 years was smallmouth fishing on Pickwick and Wilson in North Alabama. Those two rivers are world class for smallies. People from all over the country come to fish there. I live in Bham. I would get up at 3 am, drive up to Florence, fish all day, then head home. It was physically exhausting and I got to the point I could not keep up that routine. I would carry a bunch of rods with artificials on them (fav was various spinnerbaits). I also had a professional livewell in my boat and would catch shad with a castnet and use them. I used 6 pound line for livebait fishing. I have caught a lot of 6 pound smallies, but never a seven or above. Did have a couple at 6'10". I used to fish for largemouths and spots at various lakes around Bham, but I turned into a smallmouth fisherman. It gets into your blood. Smallies are so strong. If you tied, for example, a 5 pound smallie by its tail to a 5 pound largemouth, the smallie would drown the largemouth. A spot would do better than a largemouth, but would still lose to the smallie. Oh, don't let anyone tell you that smallies only hit small artificials Not so! I always used big spinnerbaits, with the weight depending on the current and if there is no current running, just pack up and go home smallies love current! Spring and fall are the best times. And always check with the TVA for the water release schedules

I noticed the same thing. When nothing happened I passed it off by thinking I must need new glasses.

I don't believe that for one second.

Momma Worm, if you don't know already, one of Auburn's all-time great running backs and an all-time fan favorite is Lionel "Little Train" James. Your son reminds me of LT. Worm would do himself a favor by checking out Little Train. A big welcome to you both!

Let's hope Pearl gave them a wake up call. No way this talent should be playing so stupid.

I always enjoy and appreciate your posts! Thanks for doing this for us! BTW, I did not know that AW was lost at one point (re: the prodigal son statement). Was he originally committed to another school? Thanks again

There really is a Santa!!!!!

bg5, was your use of incites, instead of insights, Freudian on your part?

What is Shivers time in the 40?

That leaves the NCAA.

I wonder if we could declare a moratorium on the Chiz sucks vs Chiz is great talk? I would bet that the number of folks who have not made up their mind about his coming back next year would probably fit into a thimble. Man, all this talk is like an event horizon. And coming from pretty good AU folks who do not have the same opinion about the current regime.
