I'm starting to see it. You look 10 years younger! And just a touch like Mike McDaniel. My coworker made some joke picture of me and I ended up looking 15 years older. Hopefully your contraption works for you.

Hahahaha, I tried plugging in all of the info into AI and see if it could come up with a good visual of what I'm designing.

Well, it looks good from a high level, but pretty AI-ish the closer you look.  hahahah

Interested to see what you come up with, as my mind is currently off in the boonies with Steve's. You might need a micro electric reel at this rate. Or use a fly rod and then retrieve with your feet. You won't scare the children at all!

Quote from: sasquatch on November 10, 2026, 01:49:56 PMHow is the handle on the right side of a spinning reel going to not involve your right arm? I'm confused.

Just make a sign. "Expert fisherman, hook and hands $5 each"

Then hook the fish, make them reel it in, and put it on your stringer.

I didn't realize Sasquatches were so mean... 

I'm going to blow your mind with my new engineering project.  You think you've seen me at my best, but I have some serious ideas on this one!

Funny, the last time I had surgery on this shoulder I showed up and met you and the EDC at DeAnza in 2007.  Wow, almost 20 years it's held up.  LOL

I corrected my list to only include Saltwater / Freshwater.  It looks like I only have 333 species which is less than I thought.  I'll post it up here during my downtime after surgery.
