Reminder that Manziel still holds 2 of the top 4 total offensive seasons in SEC history with the other 2 being burrow and Daniels. At least he accomplished something in college. Without the coke problem maybe his career winds up differently.

Shadeur has potential but he has a massive shadeur problem that daddy helped create and is still reinforcing. Dad’s job was to shut that crap down and he failed miserably —- probably because Deion has the same problem, but happened to be born with elite skill, which has a way of making people ignore the negatives.

Those look pretty rugged, sorry I don’t have any first-hand experience to share. I used to car-top a 14ft 60’s alumacraft on my station wagon but I can imagine it would be a lot more challenging on a full size pickup. My car always smelled like two-stroke. I had 3-gallon tank and a 6hp Yamaha wrapped in a tarp in my backseat. When you want to fish badly enough, you do weird stuff.

Had some smelt tacos at a place in Saint Paul a few years ago. Kept putting more jalapeños on and it was never enough to compensate. Not my cup o tea but dipping looks pretty fun.

What a cool fish dude. Almost reminiscent of the pattern on a tiger trout, but whoever said burbot up there is closer for sure.

Lakers punched back on their home court. Last night was about what I expected from game 2.

Be nice if we could get off to some better starts in the first quarter and find a way to not put up Rudy on Luka out around the perimeter.

This is a great little boat. Not sure why we don’t see more like it around here. There are a couple running around on pool 2.

If this had a jack plate and 80# terrova it would pique my interest.

X2 I almost bought one 3-4 years ago but the seller was being a flake. This boat looks really clean and should make someone really happy.

Who said anything about a sweep boss? I said the wolves are a deeper team who stole a road win tonight and should win the series. If I had to guess I’m saying wolves in 6 but I think 5 is just as likely as 7. But you’re the dude with the logo next to his name!

Reid and McDaniels were both so good. Fun game.

Wolves should win this series especially now that they stole a road win. Their stars can match LA’s and they are so much deeper overall. Was fun seeing Reddick run 3-4 different defensive schemes with the same results from the Wolves offense.

Have you considered the possibility that the kraken is actually failing to maintain .1 mph and the echo map is actually reading accurately? In my experience the trolling motor remote doesn’t tell you how fast you’re actually going, it just tells you what setting you have it on. Have you compared using another GPS device? Try opening the Active Captain app on your phone. If that reads .1 that would confirm there might be an issue with your echomap; if it reads .3 I would trust that and start asking questions about your trolling motor.

Can’t remember the last time that I encountered a company closed on Good Friday…..

I mean, the stock market is closed?

I have had extremely good luck using the chat feature on garmin’s website as opposed to writing an email. They have a pretty stellar customer service reputation in my experience —- Replaced a bad transducer at no cost well outside of warranty.

Keep us posted I’m curious how this pans out.

After the slaughter on the perch this last winter, Saw the perch change happening.
I guess being able to keep 2 walleyes is better than one. Not sure this will change anyone’s mind to head there or not

Personally, yes it makes me more likely to make the drive up. If we can put a 3-man limit in the livewell then we can actually make a meal for the whole family. If we can only keep 3 fish, we’re probably not keeping any because we don’t freeze fish and it’s pretty tough to put a hearty meal together with 3 walleye. We get our fill of catch & release walleye fishing on the river, so if I drive that far I’m looking for 1 of 2 things—- remote and serene, or we’re putting food on the table.

I think the thing that confuses me is that I thought the video/media portion of the business was sold and yet in-depth media productions still has a website with all of those guys listed as staff. They even have a job posting up.

I don’t own enough land to be involved in anything like this but the notion that only a landowner would benefit from being a good environmental steward is insane to me. Nobody lives in a bubble.

Would be cool to hear what everyone has been up to but at the same time, after years of being “public figures” I bet most of those guys are enjoying a different speed. At least I know I would.

With Holst specifically— it sure seems like he is a full-time Norsk Lithium honcho at this point.

Gobert and Randle for Jokic.

Always fun to see a fan’s idea of a realistic / fair trade. Denver wouldn’t take 2 Rudy’s and 3 Randle’s for the joker.

I hate that we’re even talking about this crap right now? Can we just enjoy the playoffs and then start the nonsense?

Also am I the only one who’s pretty exhausted by Edwards already? Would it be too much to ask to get a star player who isn’t a complete idiot/egomaniac? Does such a player even exist?

aberg was definitely a popular pick after finishing 2nd at Augusta last year and has been looking good with an early win already this year. I love his swing and he plays fast which is a treat.

I agree Matt, lots of good stories in the game right now.

I still have yet to catch a fish this year on p2 not even a damn drum been fishing up river and down river deep shallow rock wood flat steep you name it this bite sucks lol and I suck.

It’s been slow for me, I am not a good spring river angler. Had a thick 30” pike under a float like 5 minutes into my season, and nothing since

Rory had some unreal approach shots and Bryson forgot how to putt.

I’m happy for Rory but can’t say I was cheering for him in the playoff. Justin Rose would’ve been a great story.

To weigh in on Dutch’s question—- yes, the prevailing narrative in the media would’ve been Rory choked again because that story gets more clicks. Rory’s name gets more clicks period so that’s how they frame it. For golf fans who have watched Justin Rose hang around the top of the Master’s leaderboard for years, that would have been a huge story and just as exciting as Rory winning.

I am looking for the less obvious story. Sometimes it seems like Rory, Scotty, and Bryson are the only golfers the media even acknowledges. The Scheffler mania is out of control for me. I’d like to see him go winless (unlikely) one year after being crowned the best in the game. Right now at this moment i can’t see how anyone can make a case for anyone other than Rory as #1.

I started with an old POS glass boat so switching to aluminum didn’t bother me at all. If I was running a 20 ft wheel boat I could be tempted by glass. The type of fishing I do, a 16 foot aluminum tiller is nearly perfect.

A lot to like on the leaderboard right now. I’d be happy to see anyone but Rory or Scotty or Bryson win. I’m not a Rory hater and he looks incredible today, but I’m always hoping an underdog will win. Rose and Lowry would both be great stories. Lowry seems like the nicest guy on tour to me.

I was hoping Xander could get to -5 today and at least be relevant tomorrow but he’s been up and down. That injury was awful timing for that guy.

Really? It wasnt on Sunday, is the water coming back down or not projected to rise?

I appreciated the update, it was a little sketchy launching solo there with no dock

Really— at least as of yesterday I put my own eyes on it! There is a lot of room for the water to rise before they would have to pull it right now. Could still happen but I appreciate they put it in the water.

Watergate is open as well for folks who don’t mind paying. I launch solo a lot so having a dock is nice.

I would be running all new wiring in a boat that straight forward. Don’t worry about how it was done 20 years ago. Rip it all out and run a fresh harness.

Dock is in the water at Ft Snelling state park.

That looks really nice and best of all functional. But why would you pay out of pocket to have a brand logo added to the sea deck? Shouldn’t they be paying you to promote their brands?

Great response by the Wolves tonight after getting mopped around by the Pistons on their home court. DiVincenzo showed heart and fired up the boys. The brawl and the ejections were exactly what they needed and big comeback effort for the W!

They are pros, they shouldn’t need a stupid brawl to get motivated. I thought that whole ordeal was pretty pathetic.

Heck of a W last night.

Don’t agree that a PFD is just for you or even just for your family’s sake. If you don’t wear one and that puts you in a dangerous situation that requires the assistance of search & rescue, it’s their life you put at risk as well.

Nothing like shunning some actions of a young dumb kid. Lol

I did every dumb thing in the book when I was a kid and another handful as a young adult. Some things you gotta actually take seriously and ask yourself “why did that bring me joy at the time?” Torturing animals is not something I’d be laughing about on the web but that’s just me.

It sure was a hell of a time when me and my brother would let our 3 Chesapeakes in the barn at the end of milking. We would run them cats ragged till the ole man started yelling. Good times.

I hope for your sake you’ve matured a bit since then. That ain’t even in the same ballpark as dispatching a feral cat. You do what you gotta do but to take joy or find entertainment by pitting one animal against another is bottom of the barrel stuff.

I personally love it but think I’m jn the minority. I do not think this is a boat you’d be able to flip quickly for asking price up here. Center console boats seem to appeal to the saltwater and Great Lakes crowd a bit, but 16 ft is in the small side for fishing superior right?

My someday boat is a 19-20 foot Boston whaler so I have spent a lot of time looking at cc’s. I have read so much negative about cc layouts but something really appeals to me. I love running a boat standing up.
