Fishing Etiquette
Exactly. While fishing docks with my friend, I almost landed an 8.5 pound bass. Next day same spot, i got a big bite. he casted right there and caught a 6 pounder. this time we had the net because i told him not to leave it.

Time/place you caught your PB
I hooked my "PB" 8.5 pounder skipping docks with a 5 in black senko neko rigged with a 3/4 inch roofing nail a size one hook. This fishing was textbook. Isolated wooden dock on a point. skipped in it (after hopping onto another dock) i got nagged on the boats motor for five minutes. eventually it started MOVING. big fish, i had the fish in my hands. it broke off in my Hands fish was at least 24"

Best Shaky Head worm???
I typically use worms that float, enabling them to have more action, like zman, will also last long any zoom worms will work and are cheap too

Worst Fishing Etiquette You've Encountered?
Looking back, I kinda feel bad about this. My friend and I had just broken off on an 8 pound bass while fishing docks the day before. The next morning, we go back to the same two docks. There was a little lady probably in her 50s or 60s fishing with a small spiniest reel, on the dock next to the ones we planned to fish. She was using worms and a bobber. we figured she was fishing for perch, bluegill, and crappie. We decided to fish the side of the dock closest to her. We trolled around her in a respectful manner. We said good morning and asked her how she was doing, just being polite. We immediately got bit and landed big fish. I landed a 6 pound bass. My friend landed a 4 and a 3. Once we fished it thoroughly, we moved on. I feel bad, because we were the only three on the water of a 127 acre lake. We did try our best to be respectful however. also, at one point, she got snagged in a nearby tree. Before we could offer to help her, she had already gone into the water. I regret being more courteous, but I feel we weren't overly rude.

You can also Texas rig the senkos, use them as a wacky work, and then make them a bed rig bait
