[Rufus1949]

I used my "older than I am" big Queen stockman at work today, and now I'm enjoying Diego and Red catching up on BFC.

Nice tag team Jeff.

 

[Sharp & Fiery]

Love a svelte straight edge.

Absolutely agree, Bob!

International Knife of the Week is a Mercator Black Cat (may be my favorite locking knife, too):

- GT

I have carried this 13 for about a year and it is one of my favorites. An 81 and a 77 are headed my way, so this 13 won’t be getting much daily carry for a while, but it will remain in the rotation for weddings and special occasions, the classiest knife GEC makes I think.

Fired up the grill, now it's just a waiting game.

We’re in West Virginia for the next few days fishing for trout. Today we had a hard time getting on them; this was the rig that saved the day. I wasn’t going to post the trout pic, but the resident instigator 321Bandaid threw down the gauntlet! So here they are. By the way nice catch WinMag775 . I noticed the crappie jig in the corner of that cat’s mouth.

Nice. Those will be some good eating.
I bet they would be a blast on a 2 wt fly rod.

I keep forgetting to include the SAK in my pics, but it pretty much lives on my keyring these days.

Were about to see a 20lb+ mountain trout taken on an ultralight set up.

mountain trout? looks more like a medium size grass carp to my 6 (with bifocals) old i's.

I caught at least 100 of them from the Mississippi River, "growing up" in Clinton, Iowa, from Sabula to the "Quad Cities"*.
(*"Quint Cities" after Bettendorf, Iowa, joined never caught on by the locals.)
I hooked a "big one" (a estimated 20 pounder, according to my dad) when I was 5, fishing with my dad, in Sabula, Iowa.
It broke my Zebco 88 rod & reel. (the Zebco 88 was a unitized short (around 2.5 to 3 foot, but to tip kid's rod, the reel part of the handle.) We never landed that fish.
I think that carp was the first fish I "caught" ... tho it is possible I hooked and landed some bluegill and crappie, when I was 4.

Smoked carp is yummy.

My great grandfather called them Bugle Nose Bass. The best fish I have ever tasted is smoked common carp at Lake Erie.

Growing up, we would ride our bikes to carp fish during summer breaks. We had a few local apartment complexes that had established ponds with 20lb+ carp. I had Wheatie balls with vanilla or anise extract as our secret bait. Those big carp would make a pole disappear if the button wasn't pushed in. 40 years later I can still remember the sound of a Zebco drag being cooked by a big ole carp!
