Thanks for that tip! I’ll remember it for the next one. Slot less greasy this way but just a tad harder to push. Still best to cool them down first tho. There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.

I've caught a couple of beach balls with fur, but for some reason they didn't have the overall length and didn't top 25.

Never did understand why people care what things weigh. That's just me though. Follow me on YouTube if you’re bored https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5Ulx1woYMmCN3IPLB0wwFw
