Fishing Afghan Style

I just received this and believe that it belongs here. (I hope that it did not appear here already... yes I used the search button and looked)

My fly reel would be pretty much useless here.

How much per fish does that lure cost?

John, Your "custom built by you" fly reel with the high speed ceramic bearings would be useful to bring the lure back in for another cast.

You really wouldn't want it back!!

Really though, nothing if it was captured, and only about $5.00 ea. in large lots!!!

TNT charge blocks or dynamite would be even cheaper. Or grenades.

Used both, and the TNT worked best, but the grenades were easier!!

I'm unfamiliar with that type of lure.

Is it made by Eagle Claw, or some other company and where can I pick up a box of them ??

I'm sure they won't want to take lure from them.

People for Eating Tasty Animals?

That was a decent looking catfish they got.

Breaded and pan fried even better looking.

I found another yet cheaper fishing method that seems to net a bigger catch.

You southern boys have figured this out somehow

I'm not sure if the guys in boat are the hunters or the hunted.

Reminds me of the advisory that came out last year here in Western Kentucky waters of 60lb carp jumping 10ft out of the water in front of speeding boats. Imagine taking one of those to the head at 65mph+
