When I tell fishing stories I only tell people about the small ones. I usually under-exaggerate them.

 

I have never used a Carolina rig,Bama rig or Ned rid. I hate pork trailers I don't own a swimbait rod nor do I fish them yet. lastly I'm a natural righty and only fish lefty both spinning and baitcaster and I will not hold a fish in a pic it's to deceiving.

I've never caught a fish on a jig - to put this in context, I fish for LMB almost exclusively. Never even had a bite.

I don't see pork trailers used nearly as much as say 30 years ago.   I agree with you by the way.  I actually have an old tackle bag where some of the juice must have leaked out and it literally glued shut the zipper.  I still have the bag, that zipper has been shut for 20 years, and there is still a bottle of Uncle Josh' Pork trailers sitting in there if I ever decide to cut it out.

 

 

I sometimes use a ice rod when fishing for big bass since it's extremely fun to catch bass with light tackle.

Sometimes, after boating a bass at a spot I'll promptly leave

riding on a hunch that it was the only active bass at that spot.

SHAME on me

I fish a Ned Rig on my sturgeon rod.

I didn't fish a Texas rig at all last year and had one of my best years ever.

Sure doesn't sound like a Floridian  

For me it would have to be that no matter what kind of bait I'm running I set the hook like I'm trying to rip the fish's face off and reel it to the boat like a mad man and don't give the fish time to fight out its strength.

 

I know it drives my dad and some older family freinds crazy lol.

 

I put a Daiwa reel on a Shimano rod.

Speaking of Shimano, this might be blashpemy - I've never owned a Shimano baitcaster.   Spinning gear yes, but not baitcasting.

well I never lied about the size of a fish

Never got finned by a catfish

and only gave false info once on where I caught the fish

You better knock on wood , you're in for a rough season if not lol 

I fish shallow no matter what.... hoping the purchase of a new graph (or one for that matter) will help curve this.

Me either. And I'm 46. At least not all the way past the barb.

My friends know this, I know this. I am not ashamed.

 

I REALLY hate to get my boat wet.

neither have i, i just like other baitcasters better.

i yanked a 10xd out of my arm it sucked

I'm new to the bass fishing gig but I know already that I'm not very versatile in my  techniques used, 

I plan on changing that TOMORROW 

 Famous last words

I use braid for everything, use black and blue in crystal clear California water, and use snaps on cranks
