Top 10 Western State Self Promoters

[TheTone]

his rankings have zero thought, Eva Shockey has been dormant in the hunting world for a couple years, and RMEF? Sheesh.

And yet hunting companies are still paying her and using her to advertise.

Damn that is a Crappy feeling. I’m not familiar with a surgeons knot but if you think it was the knot that failed and not a weak spot in your line you could look into the Palomar knot. That’s what I usually tie and is very strong

it’s a line to line connection. I was going mono to flouro with it, thinking maybe the flouro cut it. I could see the line broke right at that knot.

Despite the entertainment, I hit the Ignore button. It was liberating.

Now, what's better elk round, 243 or 6.5 Creed?

Holy Crap, Your going to start a fight!

I'm not sure I'd put RMEF on that list. Most of those guys can barely operate a computer.

Oh gotcha. Either way that sucks

I took the #challenge. My ignore list runneth over.

Posting nickelback is uncalled for. Maybe the worst thing in this whole thread

Hahaha. Just trying to get back to the 'normal' off season shenanigans!

Yikes, is that something to worry about? If I remove the girls named Brandi who just want to say "hi" I'll be really depressed.

She told me I was the only one!

The movement is growing. Full on grassroots.

Nothing SUPER depressing. I was fishing a trout stream in the southern metro of the Twin Cities that gets hammered pretty hard (like vehicles at every access point even on weeknights), and the habitat is such that there are few trout, but the ones that do survive get very big.

Basically, I'm stripping in a streamer, big tug right about where I expected one to come, and then SNAP, my surgeon's knot failed. I'm an embarrassment to my self and everyone else around me.

If you're using fluorocarbon I suggest hitting the knot with a bit of head cement or clear fingernail polish. That stuff is very slippery.

Edit: I see later posts clarified. Not a knot slippage issue.

In two sentences or less mtnprst ... WTF are you trying to accomplish ???????

Sorry for your loss.

This is the most drawn-out temper tantrum about finding someone in your hunting spot that I have ever seen.
