We better go for a 12 footer, Sparkie, or I may have what I infer to be FireIsHot moment.
No problem with the GSF derivatives as long as there's room for my Ruger Bearcat in the boat.

as long as the boat is not tethered to the dock by a battery charger, we'll be fine.
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

Ok, I read everything up to here. What happened with the pontoon, battery charger, and AL? I must of missed it or maybe after we left.

I'm sorry John, but it was a dark, I had smoke in my eyes, and I was totally fixated on TJ's consummate skill at reinvigorating a dwindling bonfire.
I recall hearing laughter, a muffled splash, then several voices commencing simultaneously, all in a semi-operatic pitch that implied a sense of urgency. That's all I've got.

I wasn't there, Sparkie, so I can't be sure, but it does look to me like TJ is missing his eyebrows in one of the "After" pictures...don't tell me his "consumate skill" involves gasoline rather than diesel?

Spot on, brother. Spot on. With an emphasis on the word "urgency".

Not at all Yolk, as TJ is a purist.....no liquid accelerants need apply. As the fire began to shrink, he expertly diagnosed the problem, fought his way through a maze of beverage containers, coolers, lawn chairs, and gawking onlookers, (of which I was one), retrieved a chunk of cottonwood the approx. size of a 55 gallon drum from the edge of an abyss, in the dark, and retracing his steps was able to lob said cottonwood ONE HANDED, onto the fire in the exact spot needed to bolster the embers.
It was impressive, and I was apparently not alone in thinking that way as others commented on the amazing feat also.
I knew TJ was a man of many talents, but this surpassed them all.

TJ Hudson. Firebender extraordinaire. This is a true and accurate account of what occurred. We were in the presence of Hercules himself. I was incredibly impressed, but mostly frightened.

Very aptly put, Sparkie, but I fear that those of us unlucky enough not to attend aren't getting the whole story here. Although it does not strain the bounds of credulity to imagine "semioperatic" sounds eminating from a horizontal, fetally positioned Sunil during such an operation, I can't see Al being similarly moved, especially given his background in the anticombustion field. However, if you chose to insist that "What happens in Nebraska, stays in Nebraska", then so be it.

Don't feel bad Yolk. I made a six and half hour drive to be there and have no idea what happened. I left way too early:( Could somebody pm a brother with some info?

John, I'm late for work now, but think:
FireIsHot/Al
Missouri Boat Ride
Deliverance
Extreme Reticence to Ride on a Boat
Unadmitted Fear of Water (?????, I know, I know)
Pontoon Boat with some fixed chairs and some loose lawn chairs
Pontoon Boat Weight Limits
Zumba as it may apply to individual weights.....
Oh, and maybe potential electrical shock with fear of dropping one's cell phone into the water.
I'll have to fill in the details later.
Al could always come clean

This is for George: Just shy of 27" and barely under 10#  The picture is a little fuzzy, but here's what it was caught on:  George, the firesuit is on. I know I'm going to catch some flack for the following information. Equipment used: #10 Eagle Claw Salmon Egg hook Original Stubby Steves pellet. (it was slowly sinking with that hook) Rod: G-Loomis SR720/6' Ultra Light Mod-Fast Action 1/32-1/8 oz, 1-4 lb test Reel: Shimano Sidestab 1000 RE (Rear Drag) Line: 2# Berkley Vanish    If I had to guess, I'd say water temps were in the very low 70's. TJ wanted us to fish for BG to take out of the pond. I'll bet that fish took 100 yds of line before it finally stopped and turned. If there was any cover in the pond for the line to get hung up on, it would have been game over in a heartbeat.

He really enjoyed the 25 minute fight...not so sure about Slash, my favorite pet HSB.

Affirmative, 2# Vanish. The reel has an excellent drag system, and there wasn't anything in the pond (at least where the fish swam) to get hung up on. Luckily, the fish stayed away from any underwater vegetation that was growing around the pond edge. The only fish that I've had make longer runs were when I was fishing in saltwater off the coast of California/Mexico.

Geroge, want me to come down in Jan and fish in your pond? I promise to bring a different rod. I thought the pic and description would get you out of the lurker mode for this thread!

George I did provide adult supervision. I caught him weaving spider webs for line and took them away from him.

If FIH hadn't taken away the spider web line, it would have been much lighter. FIH, I'll bet Tailwaters can set you up with lighter tippets. I'm sure they'd know where to get 8x-12x tippets!
