I recently got into cat fishing just for the fight. I did an all nighter at a local river. I know there are flatheads and channels in there. My buddy and I caught 30 channels all around 25-30 inches on chicken livers. I have friends that caught some monster flatheads that are almost as tall as them. There is an old canal the runs parallel to the river. You can fish either side but I fish the river. There is a big dam and lots of places to fish along with shore. People usually have bonfires going. What are some tips and tricks to catching these monster flats? I plan on buying two rods just for this. I heard flats like fast moving water and prefer live bait. I don't really know how to find these deep pools where they like to lay. What type of tackle should I purchase? What size hooks, line etc. Is there a rig I use? I also was told catfish don't like the feeling of weight so I usually use a sliding sinker.

I'm primarily a bass fishermen, along with muskie, carp, walleye and trout. So this is new to me and I really want to learn more about it and get into it. Any help is much appreciated. I plan on going out this Friday with a few friends for another all nighter.

This was by far the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me. I'm not the type of person who gets frightened easily but this is still bugging me.

It was early in the morning and the sun was coming up. I don't even know if it was a dream. I always have intense dreams but they never bothered me. As I first cracked my eyes to open them I felt someone breathing on me and angrily say die. It wasn't loud but a whisper. The best way to describe how it was said is "DDDDDIIIIIEEEEEE". I was in the early stages of waking up but my eyes were just cracked open a little. It felt like I was being suffocated and I couldn't breathe. I remember my heart pounding what and it felt like it was coming out of my chest. I swung my fist (throwing a punch) twice putting a hole in my wall and the head of my bed thinking someone was there. This all happened within around 7 seconds. My body was in "fight or flight mode". I couldn't understand what just happened or find any reasonable explanation. I couldn't get back to sleep. I've had some pretty intense dreams and I know that I am fully aware that I am sleeping when I am in my dreams if that makes sense.

Could it be possible I woke up "too fast" and my brain was still in dream mode and made it appear that the dream was still going on and happening in real? I honestly don't know what to make of it. Any thoughts?

He's 0-21 in his last 21 at bats but I don't know too much about him and if he is just having a very bad April. I do know that he strikes out a lot. Freddy Sanchez is batting .359, 12 R, 23 H, 2 HR, 5 RBI, 1 SB and 45 TB. However Aaron Hill is red hot right now and also is available. He's batting .370, 10 R, 27 H, 5 HR, 15 RBI, AND 46 TB. I am thinking about dropping Uggla and picking up Aaron Hill. The rest of my team is for the most part solid.

I know he is injured on 15 day DL but is it too good to be true? Is he worth picking up? I've only been watching baseball for a couple seasons and playing fantasy for the second time. Hopefully a vet can give me some insight on this.

It's my first year playing a live draft in fantasy baseball. I only started watching baseball about 2 years ago when I really got into the Phillies so I don't really know everyone around the league. My question is what do you think my team is missing or what position can I improve on?

I'm going to Canada with a bunch of friends for a fishing trip. This is my first time going out of country (USA). My trip is a week long in the third week of July. I plan on dropping the 2 checks, photos, and paperwork this Thursday but my question is will I have my passport in time for my trip or should I do an "overnight"? Also what's the difference between a visa and passport? Which one(s) do I need?

Thanks in advance.

I was in a car accident last Novemeber and now have 2 herniated discs. I went to 12 hours of physical therapy a week and now am done and feeling better. Monday I recieved steriod injections and the inflammation has gone down but I still feel a little sore. I am having a HUGE PROBLEM with muscle tightness. I do my exercises plus stretching daily for goaltender (ice hockey). I use to be VERY flexible before the accident.

Right now I limp when I walk and I can't move one foot 5 inches past the other when walking so I have slow and short steps. When I lift my leg in the air to in a sense "kick" I can only get it about 1 foot off the ground before feeling a bolt of pain/tightness. When I sit on my bottom with legs infront of me I have to lean back to keep my legs flat. If I lean forward I have to use my hands to support myself and my legs are bent. (I think I have tight hamstrings) I also think I have REALLY tight hips. Sometimes I also feel tight in my glutes and maybe some nerver tightness. When I bend down to touch my toes, I can barely get my fingers past my knees. What do you think is going on? What can i do?

What stretches can I do to regain normal flexibility that focus on those areas? How long will it take to regain normal flexibility? I'm relatively young, 18, but I feel like I'm 18 going on 81 with all these problems.

I watch a lot of hockey and it just seems like there is a dramatic increase in bad penalty calls especially with refs NOT CALLING DIVING / EMBELLISHMENT. A ref could potentially just blow the game. I really think they need to take a look at this at the end of the season and do something about it. Anybody else notice this?

I'm a bigger goaltender, 6 foot 2 without skates 227 pounds but in great shape. I lift a few times a week, stretch daily, and run 3-4 miles a week. However I really would like a stronger push off the ice when down into the butterfly moving left or right. I can't afford a gym membership right now. In my basement I have a pair of (15) and (30) pound dumbells and a benching bar with weights. What exercises could I do if any and what else do you suggest to improve agility?

This question could of been placed in a few different areas but hopefully this one will prove the most productive with quality answers.

Thanks in advance

My friend records my ice hockey games and downloads them to his labtop. He burns me a cd so I can watch them but lately it hasn't been working. I use them for self evaluation purposes. He told me he uses Window's Movie Maker I believe. Last night on AIM he transfered all 3 periods over IM and it was sucessfull. Now I have a Vista I believe and am horrible with computers. When I clicked to play the clip Windows Media Player popped up and started to play. However I just heard the sounds but no video. The video is what appeared to be a rainbow of different colors twirling around. Why questions is why won't it show the actual video and audio together and not just audio? What program do I need to download/buy to be able to play it?

I've had two herniated discs in my lower back for probably about 5 months now and physical therapy and chiropractor have been helping. My main problem now is muscle and nerve tightness.

I believe its my sciatica nerve that is incredible tight. Whenever I sit on my bottom with legs out, I have to bend my legs because I can't sit flat. In order for them to be flat, I have to lay back more. I use to sit on my bottom with my legs out in a V and be able to lean forward and tough my toes. I can't even get my legs flat let alone come close to touching my toes. Before this injury, I could bend over and put my hands almost flat on the ground. (I play goalie so I stretched a lot). Now, I can only get my fingertips to my knees and I can't go any further.

So right now I sit on a bed and lift my leg up as straight as I can 20 times both legs each twice a day. Is there anything else I can do to gain my flexibility back and do you think it's something else?

Just some backround information so stay with me here: I was in a car accident in mid-November. I was driving down a secondary road and it was raining and leaves were all over the road. Now this one section of road, it is almost like an "S" curve downhill with very tight turns, and the bottom portion road is "graded" because so many accidents occur there. Anyway, I drive a Jeep Wrangler 2000 Sport so it's a light car. As I'm breaking down the hill, I slide on wet leaves and the pavement is obviously wet. No cars were behind me as I'm sliding down this hill and then I see a Dodge Durango come around the tight corner at the bottom as she's driving up I accidently clipped her in the back of her car and she spins around so my car was just about totalled. She had a dent in the back and what looked like a flat tire.

Anyway, when I talked to her and asked her if I was alright she was but I later had 2 herniated discs in my back. She said she saw me sliding down the hill and told me there wasn't anything I could really do. So we call the police and they arrive. Personally, the one officer was a little rude to me probably because I was a younger driver (18). We tell the story and exchange infortmation and our cars are towed off. Before I left I talk to the man who does the towing, and he told me that he had a car accident there 1 hour before I have mine and they have them there all the time and it's just a bad spot. So about half way through December, I recieve a ticket that says I was speeding through the mail? I don't get how he say that I was speeding for a few reasons.

1. He wasn't there

2. There was no break tire marks (that's how the gauge your speed)

3. I can't speed because if I was I would of flipped, remember I have a Jeep Wrangler

4. I know I wasn't speeding and never said I was

So I want to take it to court and did. They rescheduled my court date twice already for some reason. I took pictures of the road and am going to get a statement from the towing company. I just don't see how he can make a claim with no evidence.

So thanks for staying with me, thought you should listen to what happened, but can he give me a speeding ticket for something like that with what I told you? I honostly don't see how he could.

I've played defense for 8 years and goalie for a few so bear with me here because this may be a stupid question.

Right now I currently have Itech Xwings 38 inch. When a pad is 36 inch + 2 (assuming thigh rise), is it really the same size as a regular 38 inch pad? Thigh rise is how many inches the pad extends past the last strap? I am a butterfly goalie so would it be better then to have a 36 +2? I've noticed with my Itechs that I the strap furthest to the top when as loose as it gets still "tilts" the pads inward and looks awkward.

Thanks in advance.
