bass fishermen everywhere. It has taken me 62 years to understand the "bass" fisherman. I have spent many many hours denigrating all y'all, calling y'all all kinds of names, griping about how there isn't enough bang for the buck when chasing these green trash fish...This weekend changed all that! I was finally taught how to fish a plastic worm. I don't care that it was on a private pond in Monroe, La. All I know is, I caught 28 really good fish on a chartreuse rubber thingy that my buddy called the most ridiculous looking worm/thingy he's ever seen. The only camera we had there was a 35mm.

I even conjured up visions of trading my cc boat for something else..

Going to Academy this afternoon for some new rubber thingy's.

let the fun begin.

Who says you cant teach an old dog new tricks? Beware of clearance items....before you know it, your tackle box will be too small!

UT Oh,

The Tackle Monkey strikes again !!!!

Welcome, you will enjoy yourself. Sometimes I enjoy crappie fishing with the family but I would rather be cranking something. You will have fun and when you start tourney fishing and meeting all kinds of people, it's great.

Dropshot!

Don't do it. Run away. This will cost you bigtime. It isn't worth it.Just buy a bigger ice chest that will hold more beer and go relax crappie fishing and when you think of it remember, it was just an illusion.

Welcome friend, but beware! You have passed through a door into a new and different world. A world where you will divert money that should go to feed your family and put a roof over your head...now you'll find yourself spending thousands of dollars for new and different colorfull plastic items that you'll be convinced will lure even more and bigger fish. You've entered into a world where enough is never enough. You'll find yourself justifying paying $15-20 on beautiful baits that you'll be convinced will help you catch even more and bigger fish. You'll find yourself justifying the purchase of bigger and more powerful boats. This beast is never satisfied.

well said

Lol Thats funny right there ^ But it is so true.

One rule to remember,never let your wife know how much your really spending chasing those little green trash fish.

you're screwed, it's all over now.

Good Advice Lannie, they don't have to know everything as long as they think they do

So this is how bait monkeys are born.
