Hoping for a good game. I like Purdy and McCaffery and I liked the Montana/Young/Rice 9ers of the day. I like Mahomes and Kelce too though I have no idea why somebody made a decision to put that singer on the screen so much. It would not bother me to see Reid get another win and help solidify...

When I clicked on this thread, I thought it was going to be about Mafia gambling. Our family is pretty lame when it comes to Super Bowls. We don't drink and don't have TV. I think the only time my wife has ever watched it was when the Seahawks won. I don't even remember how we watched it. One...

That might have been the most enjoyable fishing/hunting video I have seen in a long time. Can't say enough good things about it. Everything from interacting with kids, teaching them culture and nature at the same time, how to respect fish and game, how to prepare it for a nice meal, and sharing...

I love football. Loved playing it as a kid and enjoy watching it now...the game that is. But the circumstances surrounding football, both at the college and pro levels are getting to me. UW had a great season and I was very happy for them. Brought back memories and excitement from 1978, 1984...

Some of you guys might benefit from a European Carry-All. Phone, keys, wallet. That's it. I appreciate the knife and handkerchief from my youth as all the old timers carried them but three things are enough stuff nowadays for me to keep track of. I'm working more on becoming a minimalist.

Thanks for the comments and feedback. I was able to meet a lot of nice folks and fish a lot of cool areas I otherwise would never have done. For the record, only Ken and Catchercraft are retiring. I'll still be working on hatchery and habitat issues for salmon and steelhead in the upper Columbia...

Catchercraft will be retiring at the end of 2023, after 12 years and a great run. Ken Rambow built his first boat frame in 1988, the year I graduated from high school. Close to two thousand boat frames 35 years later, Ken will (mostly) be hanging up his welding mask to pursue other endeavors...

I have nothing against UG but in a way I'm glad they did not make it because then there would be two Dawgs in the playoffs and that might get confusing.

Been waiting a long time to be use this one.

I was trying to figure out why Michigan was playing such a low ranked team for the Big 10 Championship. Instead of asking on here (most of you probably know) I did my own investigation. Because the Big 10 has an east and west conference, Iowa gets to play them for the championship. If they don't...

Wouldn't it be great if there were four more upsets tomorrow?

Haven't been this happy from a football game in a long time. UW coaching has been pretty incredible. Glad to see some humility, team love, and recognition from the players. I can't help but think that comes from coaching. Vegas can suck it.

I don't really think what I wrote earlier about Yak trout is a real thing. But it is interesting to think about and it does remind me as a kid, we had hard-copy encyclopedias at home (yeah, it was a long time ago). The only book I really paid much attention to was the one on animals. I still...

I'm rooting against Houston not so much because of their "cheater" reputation but because Call and McCrae were Texas Rangers.

I have heard this scenario play out quite often, particularly on the Yakima. Makes me wonder if Yak trout have binge feeding behavior in that they can skip a day of feeding. Seems odd that is the case if insects are their main forage but I believe musky do the same thing with larger prey, hence...

I work with a wildlife biologist; two of his pet peeves are calling American Bison "buffalo" and calling calling deer antlers "horns". My uncle raised bison for a number of years and said they were some of the craftiest, most ornery, athletic animals he ever saw. They'd get out of the pens and...

Part of the reason why I look forward to fishing trips to BC and Alaska is the wildlife, especially grizzly bears. It adds so much to the experience. Last week I had two encounters with a young bear, probably the same one. On the first day, Ken (one of the 8 members in our fishing group) had a...

Saw this on the Kenai less than a week ago. Hard to know what happened other than there was an exposed gravel bar where I stopped to take the picture.

My guess for this is because many summer steelhead overwinter upstream of Wanapum Dam, passing it in the fall but not passing Rock Island until the following spring. Typically you will see hundreds of steelhead passing Rock Island and Rocky Reach in the spring, when they start counting again on...

Good to see women's tennis see a return to the US Open with a Champion from USA. What can you say about The Joker: my fondness of him goes up and down like the tide but you cannot argue with two dozen slams...the most of all time men or women. That is a very impressive accomplishment that...
