 Bass fishing can get so upsetting and sad.

 

Sorry but anyone that can use this sentence and mean it is doing it wrong.

There are things you can control in life and thing you can not. Your time on the water is something you have control over. Don't stress, don't put yourself in a stressful situation.

I find it to be a relief. Maybe I'm selfish with the one thing of very few things in life I enjoy.

It is frustrating being around snooty fisherman or people who act superior. One thing that bothers me are comments made towards fisherman with nice equipment. Why must they be insulted?? I never understand this. So they have a nice boat, yet there are always posts of people criticizing them and judging them for their "nice bass boat...and nice gear" and is usually followed by the person then stating that they outfish anglers with good gear, accusations of the person being stuck up, etc. So basically having nice gear means you must be judgmental towards people who do not and/or you must think you're a better fisherman than those in a Jon boat...the very thing you are accusing them of (being judgmental) is the very thing you are doing. 

 

in the instance you mention, i dont think its so much about what gear a person has. its about how the person with that gear acts and conducts themselves. Sure, its great that one is able to afford the nice high-end equipment, good for them, but dont make it a point to rub it into someones face who may not be able to afford that nice high-end stuff. Just because one owns that nice high-end stuff doesnt make them a better person than someone with a Zebco 33. Theres no need to be constantly bragging about it, and using it as a reason to put someone else down. Its one thing to say "hey, look at this nice new combo i got" and another to say "hey, look at this nice new combo i got, its way better than anything you own, youre not going to catch anything on that cheap gear youre using". Thats the point youre overlooking. Its the ones who have something better and use that as an excuse to put others down that get heat thrown back at them, and get comments like "i can catch as many fish on my cheap gear as you can on your expensive gear". what do you expect someone to say when a person is using what they have to put someone else down for what they have(or dont have?)? Now, on the flip side, if someone who has nice high-end gear and is humble about it and doesnt use it as a means to degrade or put others down, and another person without high-end gear is making snide remarks about the person with nice stuff, well thats just jealousy and is also unwarranted.

and also, correct me if i am wrong here, but i think the OP, when he says bad anglers, isnt referring to ones skill level, but is referring more to their demeanor and how they act as a person...

I agree that people shouldn't act like jerks. They shouldn't put people down for whatever reason gear or otherwise. They shouldn't rub it in your face that they're more well off than you or if they out-fish you. Let's be real though, there's sometimes it just happens, whether intentionally or unintentionally. What gets old to me real fast is how so many people these days gets so friggin butt hurt over anything negative around them. If someone in your club cuts you down because of your gear, don't take offence to it, find a way to use it as motivation to beat them. Prove to everyone just how good you really are, even if you don't drop an insane amount of money on gear. Learn a new technique, or a new presentation for an old one. Beat him from the front of the boat, the back of the boat, heck beat him from the bank, but don't curl up and whine like a preschooler because he hurt your feelings. Man up and let that fuel the fire. You don't have to be buddies with people that are jerks, just limit contact with them. There's no reason to hate people, because at some point you've probably been a jerk to someone too.

^ Yep.   The degree to which one senses negativity is, in no small part, related to the one doing the sensing.

[Glenn]

I don't understand people who judge others based upon what they own.
 

I buy what I buy, and use what I use for my own reasons.  I don't even look at what somebody else has, because it makes no difference to me whatsoever. I have more important things to worry about than what so-and-so owns.

It's pretty straightforward.

Yes that is What im trying to say. People dont seem to get it and im pretty disappointed by the responses i got.(I dont give a #@$% about high tech gear and people normally using it. The real problem is the snooty anglers will start it and come to me first and wont stop. They will do stuff like dig through my goodies ,check my rod and reel and try to Educate me like im worthless and often times their main weapon is to use there high techno gear. Thats what i really loathe(Dislike)

I dont just dislike normal anglers just for them having a high grade Shimano reels,Brand new Skeeter boat,G Loomis Saint Croix rods and blah blah. Its just alot of anglers i met were snooty anglers. Using there $$$ gear as a main weapon to Insult and bully me. Worse part about these that there near me and i get stuck in unavoidable situations with Snooty anglers.

Some people said in this thread to Mann up,Just use your insticts, Dont be biased but Its not easy as yall think. The people im disliking are Bullies and Bullies they dont only just Bully you once.. they just keep doing it untill they achieve there goal. Its not easy to rise against then most people say its just the same concept as a bully in your school. They use your weakness,disadvantages and flaws to pick on you Continuously and the main flaw Bad anglers anglers are using against me Is Gear and thats what i tried to saw in this forum.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Thats what makes me Dislike(Loathe) Anglers which acts like Bullies^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I should had made the title and post more clear... Thats my fault.

I only help those who are deserving. And I promise everybody is not deserving. . Here is an example. 

About 5 years ago is when I came upon the use of the senko.. well I had a few fishing holes and brought a buddy with me on the regular.. on one particular summer day we were using the same things hula grubs, crank baits, frogs, t rigged worms... and not catching anything. Well I had read about the wacky senko and decided to try it in a last minute effort.  I started catching every cast.. I caught about 10+ bass before I started to feel guilty about having fun. So  I helped him out. Gave him the hook. And the senkos... long story short he caught a bass that was 23" and easily 6-7 but probably 7+ (very impressive bass for ohio) He took off running with the bass back to the truck to take pictures and it was over 75 yards away.. had it out of the water for 10 minutes easy. I was so pis.sed I could have strangled him. To make matters worse he posted pictures on Facebook and showed everyone at the bar about how he caught this huge bass like he was some master angler and told em all how he did it. 

i never took him fishing again.  Punk. 

Tom he was upset cuz someone he fished with was putting him down ? Who in their right mind wouldn't be bothered by that. Nobody needs that.. 

I agree you should have fun , even if that means fishing by yourself. 

why didn't you just punch him in the throat?

No problem, this group of guys tend to be sarcastic, and to let things roll off their back so to say. My apologies if you took me the wrong way.

Just out of curiosity...How old are you?  As a 48 year old man, I...A.) don't give 2 tin sh*ts what others think of my gear and would not allow others to mess with it, and B.) Would not allow other people to ruin my experience.  As someone above me has said......that time is MY time.  Wanna be a pr*ck?  Do it somewhere else
