a pretty disappointing night... but only because we caught our limit so quickly that we didn't get to fish longer :)

i think tvc pretty much summed it up for me :)

or even worse, she kinda looks like emile hirsch: [img][Hidden Content]] [img][Hidden Content]]

nope.  i just don't see it.  about half the guys i know think she's hot, and the other half don't understand what they see.  as far as i'm concerned, she's pretty from afar, but far from pretty.

[quote name="baddog" post="1025659" timestamp="1310943057"] I'm not a real soccer buff but I watched this because the USA was in the finals. What are the rules for substituting players during the game? [/quote] each team is allowed only 3 subs.  once a player is subbed, they may not return.  also, when a player receives a red card (like the japan player at the end of the game) they are ejected and MAY NOT be substituted for, meaning that team must play a man short for the remainder of the game.

they needed some help getting back on their feet after their bus was "struck by lightening".

Terrible showing by the US.  they should've won 4 or 5-0 in regulation, but couldn't score.  then they couldn't hold a lead.  twice.  then in the shootout, the first 3 pks were absolute garbage, combined with a fairly easy save that solo let go through/under her hand.  The US was twice the team Japan was.  They had to work hard to lose this game.

but if that's the coach i'm thinking of, nash, he's as good as it gets.  hard to find one better than that.

we chartered a boat out of destin today and limited on snapper.  we were dodging storms all day, but kept 22 snappers, with several in the 5-6 lb range.  we also caught a 10, a 12, and i caught my biggest ever, at 21 lbs.  we also caught 6 vermillion snapper, 4 trigger fish, one lesser amberjack, and a small grouper called a scamp.  we had a blast!

The man who died was a firefighter in the area.  What's crazy is that one year and one day before, another Dallas-area firefighter was hurt after falling 30 feet trying to catch a foul ball at the Ballpark in Arlington.

3 of us caught 28 specks last night in the place using the stuff.  ;D

3 of us went out last night and kept 24 trout and a red.  not bad at all :)

He was voted in by the players.  Quite an honor!

I've fished with both of the righties, and they make good company.

[quote name="westend1" post="1021948" timestamp="1309563691"] OK   I have a couple of friends with lighted piers on south Pleasure Island.  Next week, two lefties, me and Three Balls, take on Hippy and TVC for all the marbles.   Losers change parties.  Who is in? [/quote] I'm absolutely in, but i'm going out of town next friday.

tvc and i caught 10 or 11 specks last night.  i caught 4 nice ones (20, 20, 20, 21) in a span of about 30 minutes.  i was tearing him up, but he eventually made it close, although his were smaller :)

i went a long way towards completing my collection with the purchase of a rock river elite operator II yesterday! 

TVC and I went and limited out tonight... good times.  except for that 4-5 pound speck that broke me off at the dock. 

mexico is the obvious favorite, but the US is scrappy enough to pull it out.  i expect mexico to win, but won't be shocked if the US does.

3 of us fished an assortment of spots tonight, and kept 25 specks, 2 reds, 2 flounder, and a sand trout :)
