Besides my BJ's Industrial size volume bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide is just about empty. Dilemma time.

What a nice dilemma to have! Enjoy the pain. Been so quiet here my hands are smooth as silk.

These fish are coming your way Dennis. All on Gag's stuff, I got a white Al's needle must have caught 400 fish on in the last two years, don't know how many hooks have been replaced on it. When that needle goes slowly through the water it actually swims side to side with it's little scuffed up and paint chipped nose just poking up.

Last night it was the five inch eel colored one ripped acroos the surface. Slow roll wouldn't do it. they wanted it zipping across and man the hits were awesome with the fire in the water, like small fireworks. I love how they change preference from night to night, the eel guys didn't do very much at all, but like the night before with the Pocket Rocket, they were talking to themselves ( so was I , I couldn't get over how that thing catches).

Rigged a black PR with a 4 inch black sluggo last night when I got home at 1am. Ready for tonight! I gotta get some good neoprene fingerless gloves somewhere today though.

Geeze, Flap, I'd be happy with your dilemma! Yeah, I know I got a slap coming.

When your thumb becomes so sore you cannot use it, cut a finger off a rubber glove, smear your thumb lightly with any antiseptic ointment and apply the cut off rubber finger. Use a small rubber band and form a circle on the rubber finger something like a condom to keep it in place. It at least allows you the use of the finger.

I have this vitamin E/aloe oil I put on the cut up hands. It seems to heal 'em quick. I don't let anything stop me from being out there.
Well maybe if someone in my family was real sick. You know how that is.
