Snacks, no matter how much I love to fish, a trip is ruined for me when i get too hungry.  Snacks are always in my bag, whether it be power bars, a bag of chip, something.  Water is right there with it.  To me my hat, knife, and things like that are give ins.  A hungry Christian is not a happy or successful fisherman.

Well if you don't have a scale & you catch a new pb it is not a true pb Then we have to live through another post of how much do you think this weighs?

There's always a scale in my boat. I would consider that part of the tackle.

HERE IT IS. This is the one thing that I could not go out for more than a couple hours without. After the 2 hour mark or maybe even sooner I'm scrounging into my "Pic-a-nic-a-bass-kit" for a nutty bar, pop tart, bottle of water, or fruit snacks. There's my answer... Snacks!

 

P.S. My "picnic basket" is a tupperware container about 16 inches long, 8 inches wide, and 4 inches deep, completely waterproof and has buoys on the side so if it falls in I can retrieve my snacks, keys, and cell phone safely. In-genius fisherman's tool that none of us should be without. It was only like 10 bucks.

So a guy, who is fishing alone, catches a PB and realizes that he forgot his scale -

 

When he screams - does it make a sound ?

Take 2 scales......just in case!

 

Jeff

Nail clippers, needle nose pliers, lip grip, scale

My phone, incase I need to hit up Bass Resource on the spot and get some tips, and bottled water is also a must.

I have most of the things i find to be a necessity when fishin with me at all times any way. Phone, wallet, knife, needle nose and copenhagen. 

Toilet paper

Ruger SP-101.

Toilet paper

TP for sure.

Snake charmer in unfamiliar territory.

It's been a tradition of mine and my sons for quite some time. Before every trip to the Chain we stop off at Thornton's in Volo and he buys chocolate longjons for breakfast.

Tradition is good. What's the place called in Volo. Haven't been there in years. I love Boston Creme doughnuts

A can a dip, sunglasses, and oh yeah TP... pliers are a must buy I think if your a fishermen that's a no brainer.. also some

Copenhagen. 

 

Alas I'm on here this morning and It's raining like crazy, thunder and lightning, and the outlook is poor for the rest of the day.

 

I thought of another as I was typing. NEVER forget rain gear when you go for a quick trip in between storms.  

Pliers, sunglasses, sunscreen, phone.

slider heads !!! they are killer in the deep clear reservoirs I fish. 

Stake out pole...best thing ever for a kayak.

Eighth of a sheet of 600 grit sandpaper to keep my hook points sticky.

Another vote for sunglasses. Bright sun for too long equals a guaranteed headache for me. I think ibuprofen is a must for me. I don't need it very often but when I do, and I don't have it, that headache shuts me down. Game over.

a couple of good cigars, some good whiskey for the campfire/cabin/hotel, beef jerky, bug spray, rain gear, & good company.

lol Some of you guys crack me up.

 

Part way through this post I learned that I have reached my positive feedback limit for the day because
I hit like too many times.

My glock! I'd shower with it if I wouldn't look like a fool. Its like forgetting your underware, feels weird without it.

I would have to say my folding hunting knife.  I have gone off without water, and food before. 

Scale and Smartphone for pictures and obviously for emergencies. 

Skoal...yep stupid habit that I've tried quitting but haven't.
