And where/how did you catch it? My personal best is a 220 pound halibut I caught in Alaska. It was so big that we had to harpoon it and we had 40 pounds of fillets each in garbage bags. I've hooked many mako and tiger sharks bigger than that but never got them to the boat. Best fish story gets 10 points!

I use a 10 feet rod and catch small fishes all the time, but i have to keep feeling the rod for jerks all the time. I notice many guys just leave their rod and wait for the fish to get stuck to thier hooks. It has never happed with me. Is it that they use some special hooks or special Bait. What about the line do they keep it loose or tight. Help will be apprciated

Would a shotgin with a 26 inch barrel be more accurute with rifled slugs than an 18 inch barrel? Would it also be any better at keeping a closer pattern at longer range? Thanks!

OK I found out that its possibly a Czech 98 Mauser Copy. Its bolt action. The guy that looked at it said its a really nice piece. The scope itself he said is worth about 50. The gun he wasn't sure of he is gonna call me tomorrow after he looks it up. He said there is NO opening on the bottom which is a good thing but I don't know why. He said the wood working is very nice nice cause its engraved with like feather patterns. Can someone give me a possible figure of what its worth?

I've been getting more and more interested in trying out competitive shooting in a rifle class. I live near two gun ranges, but neither one has more than a two hundred yard range. I've never shot competitively and wanted to know what to expect and what should I do to get ready?

they are fun to use, eliminate critters like red squirrels and chipmunks from your yard(i killed over 30 chipmunks last summer), and you can hunt with them. can they possibly get any better????

My father bought a 30/06 in the early 1970's. He rarely used it. In 2005 he passed away and now I have it. I know nothing about guns at all. I don't hunt and don't want to. I was just wandering how much its worth? Its a bolt action with a shoulder strap and a scope. Its in almost perfect condition and has been collecting dust for almost 30 years. And is it legal to sell a gun to just anyone?

I did. My buddy in the back! It was an accident of course.
It ricoched off a rock when we were out shooting at Lyttle Creek. Luckily it just grazed him. Has anything like that happened to you?

boring. There's bugs, bees, snakes. Then there's chicken liver, worms, ewwwwww. I can go to the store and buy plenty of fresh fish, cleaned and boned, ready to cook, for what they pay for a fishing license and bait and the time wasted! What is the facination? (Plus, I don't have to screw up a whole day for a pan ful of fish either!) Please explain this to me.
