We reviewed this line on Youtube, showing you how easy it is to use. I was amazed at how thin and strong this line was. Doug, the man in the video believes we can catch a nice size fish on the combination reel and fishing line. It was very easy to for Doug to spool the fishing line into the new reel. He was also amazed that there was no worry about tangles. The line was amazingly strong, while easy to work with. Unlucky for us, we did this on one of the coldest days in Florida. We had a weekend of Gale winds which gave us waves 10 to 20 feet high. Can't wait to use this combination, but it depends on the weather. This time we will go after the bigger fish.

MadBite Portable Postal Hanging Hook Fishing Scale Review

• The MadBite Scale with measuring tape weighs fish to 50 Lbs. / 22Kgs.
• It's large easy to read dial and drop down tape measure allows you to measure fish to 38 "/100cm.
• Easily stowed away in your tackle box, or hung on your boat by the attached sturdy ergonomic handle the MadBite scale and tape measure is an affordable way of backing up your fish stories.
• The rear calibration knob allows you to set the weight at zero before each use.Simple sturdy construction allows for years of use.
• Similar to scales offered by Berkley , Eagle Claw and Mustad but at a much more affordable cost.

Okay, so this is a reasonably priced scale for weighing your fish or anything else for that matter. The scale weighs up to 50 pounds. Your going to have to be a really strong person to hold this scale with that size fish, but I will use it for smaller fish. This is a basic scale that should hold up. It's small and easy to carry around with you in your tackle box or bucket. It also has a tape measure, so you can see how long that fish is too. Would be a great scale to hang off the side of a boat or pier. If for some reason you lose it, it didn't cost you a ton.

 We received The Plans I Have For You to review. My kids are nine and eleven and they go to Catholic school. I sat down and began this devotional with the two of them. We immediately jumped into a discussion about what kind of plans God might have for all of us. My kids said they believe God's plans for me was to be a good father to them. This made me smile and we discussed what plans God may have for both of them in the future. I don't know if this set of books was made for individual use, but my kids actually like to sit down and go through it with me. The journal book has plenty of room for your kids to draw and write, which my nine year old daughter loves. It's fantastic to teach your kids that God has a plan for each of them.

My Biggest Fear Is Myself

Maybe you are like me. Dealing with anxiety, depression or insomnia. I'm not a doctor or a specialist of any kind. I'm a regular guy who has dealt with things and has made decisions that turned around and bit me hard. You could be like me or you most likely have a story that brought you to the position you are in right now. I'm learning that the biggest fear I deal with today is myself and how I react to the world around me. You will see many of the dumb decisions I have made and how they have all bit me really hard.  Come on this journey and see if we have anything in common.

DECISIONS

We all make decisions that affect our lives in one way or another. When I look back I learn that some of my decisions have brought me to a place that I don't like. In fact, my latest decisions have turned around and bit me real hard. I have been a stay at home father for eleven years, but I also work around my kids and my wife's schedule. I am the only one to drive, so i'm like a soccer dad in a way.

In October I decided to take a job with Amazon. They made me a full time overnight employee with the blue badge. It was 4 nights a week 10 1/2 hrs. a night. That was until the overtime kicked in. When that started, I would get to work at 6:30 PM and work until 6 AM. From work, I would go home, take a shower and wait a few minutes for the family to wake up. I would take my wife to meet her friend and they would drive to work together. I would take my children to school and get home just before 8 AM. I would try to sleep and get back up at 2:30 PM to pick the kids up from school. I would then pick up my wife, get ready for work and do it all over again. The problem happened when they decided to make us work ten out of eleven nights and I also had trouble sleeping during the day. After nine weeks of this, my decision bit me hard. I also worked as a beer vendor for Sunday Tampa Bay Buccaneer games which happened to fall right in the middle of this mess. I bit off more than I could handle.

 I finally got a Saturday off, drove home from work and tried to get some sleep. After four or five hours, I woke up into a full fledged panic attack. My dream was to take my family out to dinner. My reality was the schedule and lack of sleep was burning me out and giving me a huge dose of anxiety. I told my wife and I tried to calm down. I also decided my family should not suffer and decided to take them to Red Lobster anyway. I mean nothing could go wrong during the short trip to Red Lobster. Boy was I mistaken. We reached our last turn and the anxiety took over again. I turned into the parking lot of the restaurant and then I had trouble controlling the car. I managed to park, but my reflexes had really slowed down. We got into Red Lobster and I was feeling something awful.

We decided I needed to go to the hospital. My wife forced me to eat something, which I managed and then I drove to the hospital. It was strange because my body was weak, my tongue was numb and my head was spinning. My blood pressure was high and I could feel my heart pounding. We found our way to the emergency room and they checked me in. At Tampa General hospital, you get to see a nurse quickly, but to get into a room can take a lifetime. The nurse asked me some questions, took a quick EKG and told me it was normal. She also told me I was not the type of person who should be working the night shift. The way I looked and my blood pressure told her that nine weeks at Amazon were enough. My wife told me the same thing just an hour or so before.

The time at the hospital was five hours and we did not get into a room. I asked the nurse if I could leave and she said we could. It was into the wee hours of the morning and I did not want my children spending the entire night in the emergency room. The nurse checked something and told me that when they got me into the room, they would have kept me all night anyway. We left the hospital when in retrospect, we likely should have stayed and had them do all their tests. Remember, I told you that I don't always make the right decisions. The good news is that my blood pressure was beginning to fall in the hospital. They made sure they checked it before I left.

I was able to drive home, we arrived around 2 AM Sunday morning. The insomnia kicked in and I was up to 5:30 in the morning. I finally fell asleep and had the alarm set for 9:30 AM. Sunday morning was another Tampa Buccaneers game. Made it to and through the game, the anxiety came back when I got home. After another restless night, I decided to go to the doctor on Monday morning. Mr. Taigle is actually a RN Practitioner, but that's the life when it comes to modern medicine.
