If you remember.

I said I bought a mess of fishing stuff yesterday.   It's still to wet for me and my sprayer this morning[Mandy is going though ] so me and the boys[mostly Donny]  went through it all this morning and kinda/sorta separated it into piles.  One bid was all it took for us to have some fun with this stuff.

Line.


Bait


Hooks.


More hooks.


More hooks.


Again.


And again


Couple bobbers.


Couple tackle box's.


Little weight.


Miscellaneous pile.


Seat cushions cause the fellow had a bad body.


4 life jackets.


Very important item.


Missed some hooks .


Then my wonderful wife had Frog toast with fresh eggs and bacon ready

[weedwalker]

Nice catch Barry. Just a quick glance over the items, there is a few hundred bucks worth of stuff there. And those P-38s are priceless.

Barry,

When you said you bought some fishing stuff I assumed that you did just that - bought some fishing stuff.  You should have said that you bought a Bass Pro store.

Don't know how much ya gave for it all,
but it looks like a nice snag.    Very cool.
I gotta ask, what the heck is Frog toast ??
(and thanks, now I'm gonna go fry me some eggs  )

[alscalls]

Your can opener looks dull......

If you dont need those rapalas...... I would buy em all from ya for a fair price......

[weedwalker]

I was wondering about that bacon too. Down here, McDonalds has us all believing Canadian bacon is round.

[FinsnFur]

Holy crap there's enough loot there to fill an 8' pickup box from wall to wall.

[Tikaani]

Nice load of gear Barry, for a fraction of what it worth I'm sure.

  It was quite a sale for two 80+ year old brothers, one had been married and the other never did.  This was the one guys whole bag of loot for fishing .  They sold a L3 Gleaner combine for $17,500 that I've seen sell for $1,000(the combine is old but looks and runs like new), 1981 International truck with 404 gas motor sold for the same price and other stuff sold like crazy.  I came in second on te gopher traps at $250 and let the boys bid this lot of fishing gear up to $100 and then bid $110 .   I never even looked at it first . 
  Scott "frog" toast would be french toast .  You know I like to turn anything froggy into "sheeeeite" .

  Ed what the (L) is a P-38    I always kinda thought those characters represented a WW2 airplane.    McD's changed most peoples way of thinking about a lot of food .

  John I'm to cheap to pay list for much .

[Frogman]

Wow Barry,

You won't need to go fishing for a while, you already got a great catch!!  Course you and the boys will need to try that stuff out!

Barry, a P-38 is the Army's name for a can opener. Used back in the day when we ate C-Rations that came in a can. Not like the stuff they have in bags now.
We used to trade the Frogs (French) for their rations. Theirs came with a pack of 3 cigarettes and a small bottle of Cognac.

[Carolina Coyote]

When I first started looking I said awh L Barry's done been to Walmart, Good buy Barry should keep you in fishing gear for a while. cc

[cb223]

The tip-up should serve you well that far north

[vvarmitr]

Also heard P-38s called John Waynes.
I did figure out why those Mae Wests you got Barry are called Mae Wests. 

[Dave]

That's a nice haul.   I'm sure the boys are excited to start using it all.
