Lets start with the facts:

There are 108,156 forum users
40% of Americans do not have dental insurance
The average adult has 32 teeth
People with less teeth are better fisherman
Other factors that make you better at fishing are:
Flip flops
Baseball caps
Bad grammar/spelling

So, 40% of 108,156 is 43,262. That is our start point.
So first and foremost.. lets trim this down in an article on the net it said that 12% of people lie (which is probably a lie in itself)
Since we know fisherman lie, that means that only 12% of the 43,262 could even call themselves fisherman 12% of 43, 262 = 5191
Last year 30% of Americans purchased flip flops. 30% of 5191 = 1557
Last year, 37% of Americans said they own at least one baseball cap. 37% of 1557 = 576
According to a random article on the net, a whopping 50% of Americans cannot spell simple words. 50% of 576 = 288

So that means that only 288 of the users on this forum could be above average fisherman


Finally. thank you.

I can only speak for myself. Myself is in the top 1% of TFF anglers.

I have less teeth, flip flops, baseball caps, bad spelling and own about 30 fishing poles. Yes I'm a 1%er.

Considering I couldn't catch water if I fell out of the boat it makes me slightly below average.

I can't catch fish worth a damn plus I refuse to call a tournament a derby and I will not wear white sunglasses. That seals a lifetime of mediocrity for me.

before I busted up my shoulder, I used to fish 3-5 days per week I was pretty good on the lakes I fished, I rarely go anymore but did catch a limit of sand bass this spring in a couple hours. I dont care about the competition aspect of bass fishing, its a contest for sure, a contest between me & the fish

Sunglasses and derbies equal mediocrity? That's not the always positive Mark Perry I know. As for the fishing, good thing yer nose ain't made from wood roflmao

I won a tournament once. I've also slept in a Motel 6.

My guess is that everyone on this site is an above fisherman if we are using the population of the USA as the group that is being sampled. grin

Too many definitions of average to keep up with but for me Id say those on here with 10K plus posts are above average, and those with less below average, or there abouts. I have less so I have qualified myself this post!
