A weblog devoted to giant food portions. For some folks, seeing the pictures will make them want to throw up, it just makes me hungry.

Using high-altitude balloons to provide cell service? We could use this in Kansas too. Hope it works.

Spooled up my baitcasting reels yesterday with new line. Last year, I relied pretty much exclusively on Spiderwire Stealth for everything except my spinning reel, but this year is going to be a bit different. I'll still use the Stealth as my main line, but I'm going to use 8-12 pound-test P-Line CX as a 18-24 inch leader.

I'm not convinced the leader will make a difference yet, but there is alot of uncertainty about how much line visibility (beneath the water) affects the fish's desire to take the lure. With the Stealth being completly opaque, I figured I'd give this way a try.
