    I'm a School Security Officer and for the past week we've been dealing with cyber threats in one form or another. It's been hectic. I just experienced the most relaxing and enjoyable video I've seen in a long time. It was much needed. Outstanding day of fishing. Thanks for sharing and letting me be a part of it!

      Are you by any chance in Illinois. We are seeing school threats here in the Joliet IL area. I was just curious as to how far these threats are happening. Seems odd to hear if you are located elsewhere. Like WTF is going on these days!!! Sad.

    I love that what you're calling a "smaller hook" is the size hook we use for large cod and halibut. Not even the people going for large pike would use something like that, at least not many of them.

    The gar looked like it survived an oil spill and was dirty. Just an awesome catch. Not sure on other parts of the country, but here in the Ohio River valley near Wheeling, WV we are in a terrible drought. In the last 30 days we have had 1 rainfall yielding 0.34" . Currently between D3-D4 conditions (D4 being "Exceptional Drought"). Rock on Nick 🤘😎
