El Segundo Guy

As long as teachers cling to their progressive leaning unions, I have never and will never vote for a teacher pay raise.

My soon to be 11 year old English Bulldog acts dumb, but she's actually kind of smart. But she's way more stubborn than she is smart.

I throw a 7' minimum. My go to is a 9 footer.

You guys that are having problems throwing bigger, heavier nets aren't doing it correctly. Start with the 9-10 foot net laid out and start from the horn. Gather 3 times into your dominant hand and then throw lead lines over your hand.

You barely have to put any effort into throwing it, as the centrifugal force and lead weights open the net for you. I can throw a 9' easier than I can throw a 7'. You swing the net more than you actually throw it. The only reason I have a 7' is because Texas has a max of 7' net and sometimes on Texoma i might be catching shad on the Texas side instead of the Oklahoma side. Oklahoma doesn't have a cast net size limit.

A guide buddy on Texoma that has to catch 500 shad per day, every single day showed me his method a few years ago. I fish 3-4 times a week and catch shad year round. My biggest net is a 9' taped net with 1.2 lbs per ft. that i use in the winter time when they're deep.

All of my nets are Fitec or Betts. Both good and I don't have a preference.

Great song. I have a 3'x5' flag of that Somewhere in Time album cover hanging in my woodshop.

Texas is turning into a shithole.

I can't stand it. It makes me think of some Mexican Hat Dance or some shite.

My wife cooks every day. She is good at it and enjoys it, so I got her a Wolf induction 2 years ago when we remodeled.

I have never in my life used Grub Hub, Uber Eats or any of that nonsense. It's been about 20 years since I've had a pizza delivered.

It has nothing to do with health and everything to do with $. Coke and Frito Lay are throwing cash to make sure this stuff doesn't pass.

TIL there is a Six Flags in St Louis

---

Been there for a long time. I first went to the St Louis Six Flags around 1983. It used to be good and it was a big deal to go an hour and a half to the big city amusement park.

But St Louis has turned in to a total shithole.
