She is all yours Reb!!!!

[MUSKY18]

Had an awesome time with Jonesi yesterday. Fished until about 11 last night before finally calling it a day. Needless to say, your big girl is still swimming around Mille Lacs, so you can have her now, I am done with that lake for the season!!!

[TODDY]

Fun is relavent....you were fishing so of course it was fun.

Did you move any fish? Do you recall the water temperature?

[Rebel9921]

Bret... You saw her??? Just how big is she??? Im guessing shes big enuff for me to bring extra clothes in case I accidently soil myself eh? 26 days left...

Guess with you being done with that lake for the season, meaning you had no luck catching anything or what???

[MUSKY18]

No Reb.......never saw her! Far as we know she is still hanging out on the spot, waiting for Pinky to come strolling by for a treat!

Better pack the extra clothes!

Yes we moved fish, didn't even look at the water temp. Just threw the lures where Jonesi told me to throw them!!

[Andrew Erickson]

how big was she rebel?

[polarsusd81]

Pretty sure they are talking about the 56 that one of Jonesi's clients boated earlier this year. That fish is going to be pushing the record this fall for sure.

[10,000 Casts]

Did he get another big fish this year or are you talking about the fish from last fall?

[Andrew Erickson]

got ya.Thats one big fish!

[MUSKY18]

One of his clients got a 56.5 earlier this summer. Just a hog. Rebel has a date with Jonesi and hopefully this big girl on 16th of Oct. Isn't that right Reb!!

[JRedig]

I've seen that fish, the 56. Steve showed me when I was out with him and the following day I saw her 5-6 times lounging with 4-5 other muskies on a tiny weedpatch. Stupid big.

[10,000 Casts]

will the ciscoes be up on the rocks by Oct 16th?

[Rebel9921]

Rinc... I dont know how big she is... Steve keeps telling me hes gonna put me on the famous "SHE" that he always talks about... also telling me this n that about how much he hopes I'll get my first 55 incher...

10K... yeah Steve guided a customer to a PIG... 56.6x25 late July on Mille Lacs...

Bret... Oct 14th, not 16th... Thanks for the tips... Its just the mystique of Mille Lacs... it'll all turn on for no reason at all sooner or later...

On a side note... Hit French earlier today with no luck... it was a dead sea... unusual for me on French at this time of the year... hit all those spots that brought me luck last year but ZIP... water was SOOOO green looked like we could walk on it... but at least I got some practice in preparing for the Oct 14th Marathon... Sad thing is that I had a 7000iC3 replaced couple weeks ago... and that replacement crapped out on me tonite... *sigh*

[ole matty]

7000ic3 really hate you or what????

[Rebel9921]

Matty... I guess so... 3 7000iC3 so far for 2008... maybe its time to start buying Shimano... or maybe its time for me to stop BURNING those DB10's...

[Dano_the_jigasaurus]

get a 700 TE, torium 14, Penn 975 Reb and you can burn those big girls all day long.

dan

[Rebel9921]

Dano... yep Im thinking about that... more of Trinidad 14... its the price that kills...

[Dano_the_jigasaurus]

Daiwa saltist is a 6.4:1 and is coming out with a levelwind, that might be worth waiting for.

the 700TE is awesome same price as the trinidad, but its got a levelwind, having both Reb, I love my levelwinds its quite nice, but once you get used to not having it its ok.

good luck

dan

[Rebel9921]

the jury is still out on Diawa... few has said that it doesnt cast too well... so I dont know...

as far as choices go... Im thinking about Trinidad/Torium 14, Daiwa Saltist (both levelwind and convential), Okuma Red Isis, and Shimano Calcutta 400/700TE...

I need to see Daiwa and Okuma in person before I'll decide...

Thanks!!!

[ole matty]

U only been out what 10 time n its screwed on u already........ time for japan or america made reels. No more china imho...

Are complete sentences and the entire word that hard to type? Life in text is kind of a PITA to read...

that's actually pretty good. i have two brothers that aren't quite stone deaf, 1 is 80% both and the other is 70/90% left to right, and they don't even do as well. and matty if i remember is stone deaf. just fine matty, i understood it just fine.

I wasn't aware of that, sorry ole matty.

How does that effect typing? I'm not being sarcastic, i'd seriously like to know how being deaf impedes the ability to read/write coherently. I would think that if you were deaf or hard of hearing you'd be better at it. Maybe i'm wrong.

"Deaf people can do anything, except hear."

I'm deaf myself. we can read and write just fine. I do type that way as well when I'm using my pager to communicate with others. There's nothing wrong with that....There's alot of hearing people out there who do type that way like we do....It has nothing to do with our deafness.

Just because we can't hear doesnt mean we can't read or write coherently.

Everyone INCLUDING hearing people do have flaws when it comes to reading or writing. NO ONE IS PERFECT at typing or reading...

Thank you for proving my point then.

as peachy stated deaf people can do anything.

although my bros.could have tried harder, lol. one thing that hurt their ability, according to their specialist when they were younger, is sign language. when speaking sign ''the bear went into the woods and scratched on a tree'' is broken down to something like this...''bear went to woods scratched tree''.

then after learning that sentence structure using sign they had a harder time writing out ''correct'' sentence structure. no not every deaf person falls into that. but i know a few who have. remember i'm talking strictly about who i know or have contact with. i'm certainly not an expert on the deaf community and any strides made over the years may have addressed this.

[ole matty]

I speak american sign languages as my first languages n english come in second... I don't really care if I can't spell or write a complete sentence pretty well.... as long it have nothing to do with fishing then its all good........

[cjac]

Exactly ole matty! Fishing related it's all good.... as you said! "Anything" related...it's all good!

Thanks for being a part of Fishing Minnesota and sharing all your Forest Lake reports (or flake as you like to say!) and stories! I and others appreciate your posts and participation!
