      I've done that before, and forgot I had my passport and Wallet in my rear pockets  😃 😃 😃

      We call it a Breakaway Mini Clip over here.  Probably exactly the same thing…

      I was only discussing with my mate this morning how now, we will change lures frequently because it is so easy, once upon a time we'd put off changing lures, if we bothered at all.

        Oh boy. Passport… I was wearing my chicken legged wabash pants. Which look lovely BTW

        Yeah exactly the same. So nice to change lures easily and without eating up your leader. Or if you direct tie, like an animal, then you waste your fishing line. And cutting braid is such a hop in the ass.

        I’ll have some kayak catches soon. Outfitting her before I go out.

        So you ordered the kayak?

        Maybe so. Maybe not

            My nephew is hooked on fishing. I couldn't be a more proud uncle.
            we decided to troll for northern and he caught his 2 biggest fish ever. (1-28" and one 30" pike)

            The next day my wife and I went out for a fish n' swim boating excursion and a tossed a line in and caught this 31" pike.

                    We catch and release pike and simply enjoy the fight. I try and be gentle as possible with them as not to hurt them.

                    However, some do love to eat Pike and there is a tricky "Y" bone that needs to be managed when filleting. most people here will toss it in Shore Lunch (a standard breading system that comes in many flavors) and deep fry it. A squeeze of fresh lemon or tarter sauce and and off we go.
