Do any of you use spinning reels for albacore? I just caught one 24lb albacore on a spinning rig last Sunday. I just wanted to know if anyone else does this and what kind of spinning reel/rod combo would you recommend. I would like to use this combo for general fishing as well that why I really don't want a conventional reel for just albacore. I just don't go fishing for them too much but man those things fight hard!!!

My dad bought his gun in Nevada and is a clark county resident. I have been told it is OK to transfer this firearm between direct family members. (ex. father-son and grandfather-grandson)

What is the best gun to shoot rattlesnakes with? I'm a decent shooter.... I would say the range will be within 20 feet, if not closer.

I just recently bought a nice knife. Mid-grade Buck knife. Mostly a hunting knife i guess. Nothing to fancy or expensive. I don't know much about keeping them sharp. Is there a proven sharpener? Proven strategy? Just looking for some suggestions.

The Glocks used by the NYPD have a 12 lb trigger pull. I've read statistics showing that the hit ratio of the NYPD is 15% while the LAPD has a 51% hit ratio with their Berettas that have a 5 lb trigger pull on the single action follow shots.

Don't you think that it's stupid as hell to put an EXTRA HEAVY trigger to prevent negligent discharges, I figured that the old 8lb trigger pull was bad enough.

Me and my family love to fish for blue gill. Every year we travel around 600 miles to the UP just to go fishing. Some years we'll catch alot, other years we wont. We usually fish on a private lake that isn't fished very often and expectantly not for blue gill. It's a shallow lake with lots of weeds. we usually fish just outside of a weed patch and we use wax worms for bate. we use several different colored skirts. But we are not expert fisherman so does anyone know how to help us maximize our fishing fun? Like what time of day is it best to fish (we found that we only caught them at sunrise and sunset). Also how does weather play into it? and what are some other helpful hints and ideas for beter fishing?

I was looking at a Gun book and I seen a Hipoint pistol.I think it is the ugliest and bulkiest weapon I ever seen.I wonder what was going through the degisnes head when he was making this.There are other companies that make simmalar weapons like this as well.The only reason I can think of is they made it like that so someone cant just spend 150$and get a consealable weapon.But then again you can buy a cheap pocket pistol for 89$ I don't know.Why do they make these guns look so stupid?I would never buy one of these.But there almost has to be a reason why these are so big and stupid.

It occurs to me that seldom in recent memory have
there been so many anti-gunners yowling and yammering
at us. I think it's time to take a poll: Who is the worst of them
all?

I'd like you to consider three factors in making your decision:

1. Extremism of views.
2. Ability to do us real damage.
3. General loathsomeness of personality.

And so, here is your list of candidates. Please
choose only one.

o Mayor Michael Bloomberg
o Sen. Chuck Schumer
o Sen. Hillary Clinton
o Rep. Nancy Pelosi
o Rosie O'Donnell
o Sarah Brady
o Sen. Diane Feinstein
o Sen. Ted Kennedy
o Rep. Caroline O'Connor McCarthy
o A dark horse of your choice

I have been smoking meat for years but never once have I tried to preserve meat using a smoking technique of any kind.

Please tell me a legit process and maybe some good techniques/recipes for smoking a serious amount of meat that can be preserved for an extended time. I am requesting real solutions and hopefully dont get storeought crap for an answer.

I am building my own smokehouse this year and I want to make sure I do it right.

Thanks in advance!

We have had to put my grandfather into a home. We have come across an extremely old Smith & Wesson. All we have been able to find out is it is a .38 caliber manufactured in 1890. What is the value?

I was reading an article in Shark Weekly where Joe Addicks said he drags his hemroids behind his boat while trolling for sharks. Is that legal ? He said that is the best chum you can use.

I've noticed on a lot of tackle the lead warning on the label. I never see anyone using any precaution when I'm out fishing. Should I be wearing gloves and washing my hands? Is this something most anglers take seriously? The labels say lead has been known to cause cancer in testing done in Calif.
