He is quite aware of what they are and he was using the net to catch bait and netted the hybrids. It happens.

Well, just killing 2 birds with one stone. Want to add a 13 inch flat panel, and a laptop with a 3G card. That way I can watch the Colts, surf the web, call out for pizza, and still pull planer boards at Cumberland.

Besides, I have an Irish wife who knows how to use guns. sometimes I need a place to sleep well outside the maximum effective range of a .38!

I throw the net, and the d-AXXes swim into it. I get them out of the net, take the pics, and flop them back. Always did, always will.

Besides, if I tried to catch them that way, I would never get any. (Fish I mean) (Irish wife is a fish activist!)

See what happens when you tell the truth:). Go ahead, tell them about the hand grenades you were using to bring the shad up:eek:
