Not a lot of hope for catching as bass on these, but I would love to see one try.

 

A local fishing legend passed away in 2018, his estate sale was a few weeks ago.  The amount of gear he collected over the years was truly unbelievable.   His primary target was large muskie and he was very skilled at catching them.

 

Those bulldawgs are killer for muskies....They make a smaller one that my buddy has caught a few pig bass on...

I try to catch fish with the least amount of money.

  Me, too. I fail miserably, too. I told my wife I'd only spend $20/wk on fishing stuff. I figure I'm somewhere in the middle of the year 3767.      jj

I couldn't pass up a Shimano Chronarch for $99. Dang Monkey!

You would be surprised. We have a semi-local lake that only has muskie and smallmouth in it (in terms of predator/game fish) and my buddy who muskie fishes catches 18-22" smallmouth all the time on his 8-12" muskie baits.

I wish we had them in Canada. The way ppl talk about Academy, it's gotta the best thing since sliced bread.

I spend a lot of $$$ at academy and and frequent multiple stores. I’ve NEVER found a deal like that before though lol. That’s highway robbery 

I stopped at BP the other day.  After hearing so much love for War Eagle Spinner baits, I finally decided to give them a try.  I picked up a few 1/4oz, I even bought a gold one because so many people here raved about that color.  Then i made the mistake of wandering a few isles over and spotted the Roboworms.

Latest pickups

I might have some of you beat this yr as far as money spent...  One can't do any serious fishing with out a boat..  Then I've had to buy all the stuff that goes with a boat.  Then there were a few packages of grubs. 

BTW, I found a Black and yellow spinner in a tree at the lake I was fishing at today...  just in case any of you lost one 

 

 

If I ever get a boat, it’ll be something like this.

Jealous of that one. I’ll admit it!  Nice grab!

A few new toys. Reel to come soon. Boy I love buying stuff.

There is a guy who guides on Raystown Lake and I was listening to a seminar he was giving on striper fishing and he told a story of catching a 6 pound smallie on a 11 inch rainbow trout he was trolling. Not surprised at all.

Almost the last of my shipments - just waiting on the rod for the President BC in this picture.

Also add a Plano Weekender bag to this list - that's going to be my plastics bag...the Cabelas will be for everything else.

Only 2 chatterbaits (Green Pumpkin, Shad) because I already had a Black in my bag.

Leashes are for my rods and anything else I want to secure - paddle maybe even though I've got a TM for the canoe...need backup.

Do those leashes happen to be the ones on amazon for about $10 for 12 of them? Was thinking of grabbing some for my kayak

Yep - those are the ones.

Don't feel TOO old...I was 'out' of playing video games before the PS-2 even came out.

Kistler Magnesium web custom, waiting for a call saying they either can’t make it as requested or it’ll cost more or both. Now itching for a Kuying Teton.....

Black Bass on Nintendo and Super Black Bass on Super Nintendo are still to this day my favorite video games of all time. So much fun. 

After sitting in customs for over a week, this JDM order finally arrived. (The snacks are a gift.)
