thankfully the defense came to play

May as well just turn it over every possession.

I didn't come into this game expecting a W. But this is ugly. Holani should get cut at half time.

Awesome ending for the jags there.

China gonna China. A friend brought this to my attention and had to share because it's f'n hilarious. LiTime, the lithium battery outfit a lot of you run on your Minn Koters, has a product page up for a "Multi-Application / Fast Action R8 Core 590-4." aka Sage's R8 Core ($1050)...

Same thing has happened almost every year since we have opened the forum. We get a few months of a LOT of Bill, then several months with no Bill. The cycle is continuing.

Article did say it's the island's only elk. Or rather, WAS the only elk.

I fully had plans to hang on to this thing for a very long time. If not for the financial situation between remodel(s) and college tuition, it'd be a permanent fixture in my driveway. I know I'll be like you and wished I had kept it, but being responsible is hard.

To be honest, I toned it down for this one

Did my own AI investigation here of that Deschutes fish. Played hard ball with it.

Another thing: Jacks are male. The one in Billy's photo is very likely a female.

Yeah I think an actual ocean-run jack is unlikely as it lacks a few traits like you mention. Plus, it wouldn't be in that bright of a coloration right now if it were. A landlocked chinook (or, not technically LOCKED, but living its life in fresh water) is seeming more and more the likely culprit.

Thank you for talking others here into alternatives

Heck if people have ideas, shoot me messages. I enjoy coming up with designs.

Has nothing to do with talent. The very act of tedious arts and crafts sends me into a rage. I've literally thrown vices and broken things in my house as a result. Few things in my life have ever sent me over the edge like it has.

It's like they took an entire sockeye/kokanee head and stuck it on a skinny chinook body.

I could definitely see that being the case here somehow. I've caught dozens of chinook jacks in varying sizes in the past 2mo, so am quite familiar with their traits. This one doesn't fit all of them like I've stated previously, but it could still be one with some differences due to being...

Had to sort through a lot of photos online of chinook jacks to find one that's close. I still think it looks more like a kokanee overall, especially the head. But chinook checks other boxes including anal fin, spotting, and tail. Billy's is still a more slender body - even the one in this...

Ok I'm going to backtrack a bit. I still don't think chinook jack. I'm decided on that one. BUT... coho jack may have moved in to first place, or tied for first. This solves the spotting problem. The one thing keeping me from committing to it is the anal fin, which matches kokanee Fin...
