Depends on what point in the gif we're talking. I'm sure at one point the things he was thinking involved "Oh $h!t!" and "ow".

See if you can hold it out a little farther next time. ;)




Small fish > no fish.

No fish = my world.

Lol. It was almost as far out as I could hold it. My ice house is only so big! I've been catching a few here and there, but in general it's been pretty slow. I do believe things are starting to pick up a bit. I'll find out tomorrow and Monday.

Blasphemy.

Quote from the Plaza Diner menu in Santa Fe:
"Tourists: we cannot be responsible if the chile is too hot"

Note they say 'chile' as in peppers or sauce, not 'chili' as in beans-or-meat stew.

Good luck to you too!! Are you specifically after the northern, or just takin whatever shows up? I'm more of a walleye/perch chaser, but love the fight that a northern puts up.

Balderdash! I've been accused of such before.

In response, I offer the flatted-fifth* for your listening pleasure... (and possible eternal damnation of your soul, if you're into that sort of thing.)

[video=youtube;1t24PsZxohY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t24PsZxohY[/video]

*the flatted-fifth is simply a semi-tone down from the "perfect fifth", and a semi-tone up from the "perfect fourth" in the 12-tone system of Western classical music scales and modes. Both the fourth and fifth interval have been historically considered among the most consonant, lovely and harmonious notes in any key. Thereby, the most "holy".

The flatted-fifth (or augmented fourth, for academes; it's the same note) is dissonant and inharmonious to Western ears when played against the root note in the same key. It tends to invoke sadness, discomfort, and/or ire... especially in the context of a tritone of the root note, the flatted-fifth, and the octave above the root.

Hence, a historical, religious and political bias against it -- so much so that at one time playing it in any scale was actually outlawed and even grounds for ex-communication from various Churches. In Latin it was described as "diabolus in musica"... the Devil's Music. Scary stuff! :eek:

Now then, for more recent musical history... the flatted-fifth, especially when played with/against the root note and/or octave as a tritone chord or melodic device, literally defines what we now call "blues", "jazz" and "metal" music. It is the quintessential "blue note" that has scared the daylights out of parents and authoritarians for a couple hundred years. Enjoy!

Yeah we usually target the pike; there's a c'n'r lake close by with some real lunkers in it (25+lbs). There's also whitefish, perch, and the odd burbot in there to keep it interesting.
 
The world lost a great man today. A great father, and one bad ass hot rodder. RIP Pontiac Slim.

I'm sure he was thinking just the edge would break off, which, of course, means he wasn't thinking too hard, haha. If you notice, on the second stomp, he stomps with both feet. Anywhos, not the sharpest knife in the drawer. ;)

I give him an 'A' for effort.

Yeah but it looks like he was trying to concentrate the force in the outer foot. Either he didn't realize how far out he was or he thought he could break off just the end. I think whoever was filming was right about what they were thinking.

Crap. I'm seeing forecasts of anywhere from 3 to 12 inches of snow. Also seeing -9 for Wednesday night. May have to put a couple of space heaters in the crawl space near the main pipes.
