Keep your useless 'facts', I'd be receptive to some practical likelihoods

I am not a reluctant honker, but I will honk for safety or excessive green light sitting. I find I don't use the horn as often when when driving my wife's Toyota as I do in my Dodge. That RAV4 has the weakest lame horn I've ever heard. I'm almost embarrassed to use it.

Pretty much this. The company is always a bigger factor in the quality of the meal than the flavors. Single favorite food is and has always been fresh walleye after a day of fishing at a remote outpost in Canada.

Fish Grips are strapped to the side of my kayak. Always. They are also useful for catfish and toothy critters. Also come in handy when you catch a hog so you can put her back in the water on the grips while you get your camera ready.

It seems funny to me....most every place that I fish, you can come upon a crappie guy with 37 rods sticking out over the front and sides

Maybe not triple, but, really....what is the problem you are trying to solve? I don't use ultralight for bass, but even those have their place if you might fish for panfish or trout....or even bass. My parents used UL for bass, walleye and northerns as they got well into their 70s. I have that many rods in my car right now and was just wondering whether I shouldn't have loaded another 7MF for jerk baits since the 7MF I have with me is great for <1/2 oz lipless, I find the tip too soft for jerkbaits. Is every rod the same make and model? If not, then take some time and throw a wide variety of lures on each. Two different MHF7' rods can be very different and you may find you like one for jigs, but the other feels great throwing a chatterbait. Set aside the rods you don't like and won't use. Asking us which rods to set aside is not helpful

I don't understand the question

I maybe sort of get it....maybe not the 'same lures' part, but the almost unconscious desire for variety while bass fishing. Especially if the recent catches aren't sprinkled with some good ones. I don't fish for catfish or carp....I don't sit on a bucket while fishing...I enjoy the endless variables involved in bass fishing. For example, I rarely start with my 'favorite spot' on any body of water. I feel the need to try other areas, if not new lakes. There's areas where I feel I could catch a dozen 10-14" bass on a ned and/or senko, but I'll usually pass them up for an area with far fewer bites, but a chance a 21" on a jig. I have spent a couple hours sitting in a pad field catching one 13" after another on a buzzbait...great fun, but still felt the need or desire to move and/or throw a toad or a worm.....

Nice fish! Congratulations. And, please forgive me if just maybe one of my first thoughts was that perhaps you should have posted this in the BR Worst Pictures thread.

My wife does a fair amount of coaching, also. She will also kiss a lot of them as she tells them to go get their mother.

I fish in waters with lots of turtles. I never noticed any correlation one way or another about the success of bass fishing around them. But....I do have a longstanding, nagging curiosity about turtles.... Do they swim with their eyes closed? Nearly every single time I am fishing, I have one surface within a few feet of my boat or kayak and every single time, they look and act like they are SHOCKED that there I am there.

Which human? Sorry...lol If that's an average, I wonder what the number is for motorcyclists or professional fishermen

I took a spider out fishing with me this weekend

I said above that I wouldn't have gone in there, but I should have added that I don't think you should have either.....since you're asking. Fishing a shoreline of used water (well behind) someone who is clearly moving in one direction is fine on main lake or big creeks. The pic above looks like you could easily cast to either side from most any position. That's not big enough to try to elbow your way in....in my opinion. It's not as though you could slide on by through a narrows to another part of the lake/delta. That's too tight.

Bass movement is fascinating, but thoroughly frustrating. There was a tagging study, I think in OK, that was studying tournament fish to see how they reacted after being brought to weigh in and released there. I found the data quite interesting, but not in any way that helps my fishing much. Some fish travel miles in a short period....some don't go anywhere, really. I am no smarter about predicting where individuals or schools of bass will go from one day to the next. Today, a main channel will be totally dead water, and 24 hours from now, it could have millions of baitfish and huge schools of bass

No way I would have entered that cove if I could see there was boat or kayak already in there.

Pretty much anywhere in suburban northern Virginia, you can be assured that someone will go through your console if you don't lock your car doors at night.....during the day, too, in lots of neighborhoods

I'm not really buying it. Impossible to prove or disapprove. I could say it's a useless fact that babies are born with green pumpkin as there favorite color and put it on FB and it wouldn't be any different. Any favorite colors later in life are learned.

I don't use Big Game, but 12# anything for jigs sounds like perfect ingredient for disappointment.

I take 7 or, usually 8. Almost never the same 7 or 8. Depends on many variables. On four consecutive outings, I might be on a clear lake, a tidal river, a muddy reservoir and a fast river. The only four I almost always have are a MF spinning, and 3 baitcasting: MHF, LMHF, and HF. The other four vary greatly.

I helped a bird tangled in line a few years ago. This was at a fly-in camp with less than a dozen cabins on a 14 mile-long lake. If fishing line is a problem for birds there....more than 50 miles from nearest paved road....imagine how bad the birds have in our pressured lakes and rivers. And...just because I'm smug and self-righteous....I always make it a point to bring extra trash in off the water. It isn't hard to find around here...if everyone out there just grabbed one plastic bottle or bag.....

Almost any one if the 30 will work fine. Get the plastic to stand a little. More important is the rest of it... the generally thinner baits, fished slow or real slow, maintaining bottom contact. Don't sweat the hook/head details. Sweat the patience and concentration part and you'll do fine.

Spent a long weekend there quite a few summers ago. Rented a boat with a trolling motor from Parrot Cove. Not like having a guide, but you will get off the bank. Tips? No. Most memorable fishing things were losing an entire A-Rig on its maiden cast, and encounters with a couple rude, encroaching glitter rocket jack-wagons. Bass were caught, but not in size or numbers worth talking about
