That better not have been a army flashlight or we'll have to doc his pay...bwahahahahaaaaa....

Fantastic fishing around here, smallmouth bass, musky and pickerel all summer, trout and salmon starting any day now and going strong throughout the winter. I have a nice boat, we drive right up the Niagara river to the base of the white water in january, whewww, what a rush.

Yes Mike it was and I would like to state for the record due to our dilligent testing it was determined,
a) It did not float
b) It sank very quickly
c) It continued to provide light for approx 14min and 22 sec before shorting out
