were both eaten by a killer whale.

This contest is, of course, an unabashed attempt to get people to use my boards! The only requirement is that posts must be related to fishing. The board is for fishing info so ask a real question, respond with an answer you know, or post information about a trip you took. They can be original posts or responses to posts. I will use the 'Show Post from 1 week' button to select the posts for the contest.

Upcoming Events - There is a calendar of events on my site - http://fishing.about.com/mevents.htm
- where I list any event I can find related to fishing. I have also posted
notes about this site - when articles will be updated, chat topics, fishtales
and other things. If you have any event you would like posted there, please
email me. I can post them years in advance!
======================================
Thought for the Week - Since light travels faster than sound, isn't
that why some people appear bright until you hear them speak?
=====================================
Right Click Trick - Having trouble bookmarking a site you find through
The Mining Co because the URL doesn't show? This is a problem with
frames. Right click your mouse and the page url you are viewing should
show. Then you can copy it and book mark it. Sorry for the trouble.
======================================
Bonus Joke -Another BAD day - A psychology student in New York rented
out her spare room to a carpenter in order to nag him constantly and study
his reactions. After weeks of needling, he snapped and beat her repeatedly
with an ax leaving her mentally retarded.
======================================
