Thanks @Team9nine.  How do you get Cherry Coke off the monitor?

21. Kastking reels are inferior as they cost under $100, unless you tried one.

Or unless you bought the royale... apparently.

@riverbasser I think you're talking about paulroberts

 

Many people on here offer good advice. Really depends on the advice you're seeking. 

Yep that's him. And you are absolutely right about that I was just thinking of some of the older or "seasoned" anglers we have on here that seem to specialize in particular subjects. Lot of great folks on here

I also enjoy Sir Snook a lot

I really miss his perspective

 

On a less serious note -  Should I use snap swivels, snaps, or just tie direct?

Hmmm. What about, "With whom would you rather be stranded on a desert island? J-Lo or Angelina?"  Eek! Wrong site! I meant, "With whom would you rather spend a day fishing?"  (In either version my answer would still be "Angelina" although at my age I don't know what I'd do with her ... mebbe have her hold the spool why I loaded line on my reels.)

no hands?

I can't get my photos to post.

Pretty accurate. I especially like #5.

Jig fishermen cult comment had me cracking up!!!

 

OP, you forgot to add another common theme...... bass angler wannabes, like me, think what works for me should apply to everyone in all locations throughout the U. S. no matter what!

This is a great post!!  Thank you for the humor

Top water baits should only come in white or black.

 

Don't call it a "rat l trap" or "chatterbate," it's a lipless crankbait, bladed jig.

I can't catch fish because I'm stuck on the shore.

Thanks for your responses.  I need to correct my first statement.  I have been stalking this specific forum reading back to 2012.  

I also left out A-Jay's punch rig.  I even bought one to try!  From Siebert's!  And rage tails.

I think many people ask for corroboration rather than information. 

I don't post much, that is true.  Don't know much.  I have read a lot of the articles and watched a lot of videos/ you tube posts on here.  Good stuff.

now if I had to choose fishing with Glen or J-Lo,.no contest.  Sorry, Glen.

21  Bass taste  horrible . Bass are delicious .

It's never operator error, it's always the wrong rod, reel, line, or lure!

 

And the wrong location or presentation.

You forgot the age old question that gets asked a dozen times every winter...

 

"If you were stranded with only one lure..."

 

I see this question often presented in different ways. Its like they think they are going to hit a home run knowing the exact lure a certain member uses. It takes more than that to be consistently good at bass fishing!

How much does this bass weigh? And if you guess less than I think it was when I caught it, you're wrong.

 

 

I like that I don't feel like a lot of the list applies to my line of thinking, makes me feel like I'm doing something right

 

Oh my !!! You all will pay a dear price for not including someone here.

 

Everyones lil friend the BAIT MONKEY

Look, with just my arm I can't throw a jig way up into a tree so when it happens while fishing it's clearly the rod's fault. 

How else are you gonna catch squirrels?

I feel it's a little unsportmanslike to catch them in the trees, I only ground-fish for squirrels.  

 

In all seriousness, I started reading this site about two years ago and have learned a ton. I also have a ton more tackle piled all over my office, but I think that is just a coincidence.
