I want to thank those of you who reached out to me privately, encouraging me to stay engaged with the group and develop a thicker skin against the few POPs here (one of you will get the inside joke!). I also want to thank the admins for cleaning up this thread. Good stuff!

Look. I don't appreciate you appreciating me. So back off. Or something.

I'm bad at internet fighting.
 
All youbassholes that went with textured lines can go F’ themslelves. You know what? I think I leave sleep check alone this time. Good night grumps and gals.

First there is a leader (with a perfection loop), then there is no leader (because the loop broke while fighting a fish), then there is (with a different knot...?)

On our August trip, @Tallguy broke his line on a tuna and I offered up my spare rig. I warned him the leader was tied with a perfection loop, to which he responded “nope, I’m re-tying” or something along those lines :). That led to a spirited discussion on the boat about perfection loops with me saying… “I’m sticking with it on my rod, never had an issue” partly joking (I did warn Tallguy), partly serious ( I’ve never had an issue, but know they are frowned upon by many). Fast forward to yesterday. Still fishing the same leader. Hook a fish on a cast and strip about 20 feet from the boat which promptly gets me as far into my backing as any troll fish I’ve hooked, with the drag clamped down. A few minutes into the fight, pop. Nick: “let me see where it broke”… and him laughing like a hyena when we discovered it was indeed at the perfection loop :). I’ve used them on every trip for tuna I’ve been on with no issues….. but, that may have been the type of fish why perfection loops are frowned upon.

To be precise, I believe I said "are you serious??", with strong indications of profound disbelief, several times, before I looked at the knot and reached for the scissors.

I just don't comprehend how you go with double bimini on one end of your fly line, and perfection loop on the other. Does not compute. Especially after Silverfly has trained us for years to have a plan when a 100 lb BFT rolls through the troll spread on Nicks boat.

No one contradicted Evan's take on Evan?

Well that ain't right

If I was choosing a PNWFF End Times team, you would be on it.

And if the goddamn zombies had already got you, which I would also find hard to believe, but still, if they got you, I would be pushing my shopping cart through the wastelands to loot whatever stuff i could from your place. Coffee, canned tuna, plugs, gear rods, fly rods, boat, truck. Level Up at Evan's place for sure.

Instead of team Soap Lake? We have been waiting for the zombies for many years and are well prepared. Good luck to you.

Billy, it's just logistics. Getting that shopping cart to Soap Lake means crossing the Cascade Crest, and as winter comes, ain't no way am I messing with Cle Elum undead. I've seen that play out before, and it is not pretty...you know exactly what I mean
