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

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

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!)

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!
