    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Once again here is an example of my stellar photography skills. :rofl:
Any guesses on what type of fish this is? Take your best shot at it. I'll give you a hint. It's not something you usually see in a home aquarium. LOL.

It's a juvenile (about 2 1/2 inches) Lepomis gibbosus aka: pumpkinseed.
Net caught and a great little captive. :thumbsup:
 
This guy was caught by my 9 year old daughter. She figured if she put some bait in the water close to the edge of the pond, it would attract the smaller fish in and she could scoop them up with a net to be able to catch one and bring it home without injuring it.

Smart girl. Within 5 minutes, her plan worked!

Still waiting on what she wants to name it.
