TRP: Summer, come now!

Re: TRP: Summer, come now!

It's terrible. Very bad.
I think it set the record for the most unintentional sexual innuendos in a 1 hour TV show. "Jim Bob is going to over to that side and cover that hole while I go in this hole on this side...After that sonofagun took a piece out of Jim Bob's hand, Jim Bob and I traded holes so I could really get at that derned bugger."
 
Re: TRP: Summer, come now!

Well, I'm on vacation up at Lake of the Woods, Ontario. It's been an amazing week of fishing, 11 muskies boated in 3.5 days. I caught the biggest one of my life today at 1pm. 51" ~38#

I'd guess you didn't noodle it.;) Nice fish. About 8 times bigger than any I've ever caught.

USCHO message board post? Or setup to a Jeff Foxworthy punchline? I can't tell.

(That is quite a fish, though.)
 
Re: TRP: Summer, come now!

That's a hell of a Ski there Shirtless! Now just imagine how big that fish will be in 2.5 months ;)

Must be nice to be within a few hours of trophy fish like that...

You are nuts if merely fishing is redneck to you.

This is something I never understood... Fishing occurs in all 50 states, and throughout individual parts of the state... For whatever reason, it's become such a negative stereotype... Especially the "Dumb Redneck" part of it... Hell, I can think of many, MANY places where fishing is a rich boys game... Something people do to show off money/wealth...

With some of the boats out there, it definitely isnt a "poor mans" sport" They just had a walleye tournament on Green Bay and everytime i saw a boat all i thought of was there's atleast another $30k

That's exactly what I am talking about.... $30-50k for a boat... $1000-$2500 for electronics... $1000-$1400 for a bow mount trolling motor... This isn't even counting tackle...

Even as I stare across the room here at my place, I got about $1000 worth of rods in the wall rack... It's a sport that someone can do for $50, but if you want to get serious about it, it's gonna cost you...
 
Re: TRP: Summer, come now!

Redneck is an attitude and lifestyle, not an income level or region. There are rich, big city rednecks and poor country rednecks. Bigblue isn't poor and isn't really in the country anymore, but he IS redneck. :p

Well, he's more of a pinkneck now.
 
Re: TRP: Summer, come now!

I guess it depends on what fish you're fishing for. ;) That's how I always looked at it.

Bass fishing? Redneck.
Marlins? Cake-eaters.

Too simplistic. Argue economics all you want, but bass fishing is definitely not redneck if you're spending $100,000 on equipment and tournaments.

Admittedly, anything requiring a fly rod/tackle is almost assuredly cake-eater territory, though I realize that has made my dad and I cake-eaters at times.

None of my family fished. The only time I went fishing was in Scouts, and that was because we had to. My brother does some "redneck" fishing nowadays. Just buy a Target rod/reel and see what you can catch.

Anyway, that is my reasoning behind how I looked at fishing growing up.
 
Re: TRP: Summer, come now!

I've caught bass before, and I'm not a redneck. Just sayin'. ;)

To brag slightly, I'm actually on MI's "Master Angler" list because of a bass (a species which my family has never specifically targeted). When I was 6, I lucked into catching a 5.6 lb., 22" smallmouth bass on Lake Bellaire in northern lower MI. No, dad did not help reel it in. :p
 
Re: TRP: Summer, come now!

You know what I mean, though. Before all the technology, all you needed to catch bass was a basic rod/reel. You need a bit more for the "high-end" fishies. ;)

Edit: you know what I used in Scouts to catch the most fish (happened to be sunnies) in one sitting? A kernel of canned corn on a hook, attached to a string, no rod/reel, on a raft in the middle of a lake.

Sunfish/pumpkinseeds/bluegills will nibble most things that look smaller than them; even human toes.

Of course, they're a pain in the arse to fillet. We had a rule that we had to catch at least a half-dozen decent-sized ones before dad would break out the fillet knife, but we almost always wound up with enough to make a batch of fish chowder/"chowdah" every October or November.

1. I did not know that.
2. I caught about 2 dozen in an hour. They are really stupid fish.
