5 Dollar Fishing Game

You all play a pivotal role in it as well. I don't know you all personally but here at BR it feels like a fishing family. Good to see the posts and get a laugh here and there while learning a bunch too.

So true! There is something about the water that makes it all better. :-) Not to mention the thrill of that big hit right before I set the hook.

Sweet Zone it is! As well as the mental enema. Lol

Tell them not to get too close because you have a stomach virus. Works for those people at BPS with the time shares and those survey people at the mall also. If all else fails, just fart.

Thanks all! Yeah, it's crazy that what started out as something to try out just a few years ago has been such fun and a natural remedy for stressors. And an obsession........:-)

True that! I ponder on all of that also. :-)

It is truly an escape. I know my mind is set on the water and under it when I fish. It's like my own world. And when I'm done, I feel refreshed to take on what I left to do.

This has been a stressful year, lost my job (right in the process of having our new house built), fortunate to have another one lined up, death in the family, tight finances during my job transition, school workload, and a few other difficult areas. My faith was vital in all of this, and I also attribute my calming to fishing. Things are set now. Thank God! Moved in new house, school is better, job going well. The times that were super tough, I just went on the water for hours, literally sometimes I just bounced a worm or a jig and it seemed like all was tranquil. Medical studies showed that fishing is a good way to relax. It taught me not only to be a better angler, it also made me more patient, and how to appreciate true down time. It was a rough year, but the uphill battle is over and now we look ahead to a better future. Joe

#1 is actually my parents neighborhood pond. The term fish in a barrel must have come from there. :-)

Also, if you tell them "the subscription is too expensive" and you don't want to renew, they say they have a "special" offer of like 50% off. Happened to me.

I had a lady at BASS tell me that my 2015 expiring subscription can be renewed for 3 years for $33.33. I told her I was going to hold off. Anyone else hear if this? Also, spilling hot coffee on your balls would be bad. Lol

I usually cast near where the birds are circling Most if the time it means baitfish.

I don't buy the scuba diver stuff. ;-)

Lol

A lot cheaper than therapy lol

I use BR as an "out" often. :-)

Great pic! :-)

My daughter is 7. Started at 4. :-) Nice piggie!

I want to snag a 50# carp in my parents neighborhood pond :-)

Bass pro hat???

Slow down.

Nope. It was my mother in law.........

I can watch his outtakes all day lol

Usually just us two. Straggler may come from time to time.

Nature= my music.
