Most Tackle

I have a lot of tackle and I realize I have a problem - I can never get rid of it. I just keep feeding the monkey(s).

 

So when I think I have too much tackle I watch this video: 

 

 

Does anyone know of anyone else that has more tackle than Epic Eric?

If you think you have too much tackle go and visit album by @A-Jay and youll be ok :), Done that and it really feel like I dont have enough tackle LOL

In my defense, except for some spare plastics and terminal tackle,

I carry most everything seen in my Baits album IN MY BOAT all season.

So while there's always different versions of More & Less,

Unless the bassheads in this thread can take their entire home full of gear out on the water with them,

I am not even REMOTELY in the same universe.

Same here - I got a couple dupe-lures and some bagged plastics that are dupes in the 'fishing room'...but everything else can fit in the F-9....bass and crappie at the same time.

 

And I've still got some un-used storage room on the boat too....

[NorthernBasser]

I definitely have a problem but at least I'm not on the level as some of those other people like Epic Eric. But I still have way more than I need. I'll give some away from time to time. At some point maybe I'll have a garage sale to lighten my load.

 

This is the current state of my shed right now. Complete mess. It's usually really organized during the season. But right now, ugh. My boat lockers are packed to the gills with 3700 size Planos, tackle bags etc. All this other stuff is mostly overflow and reserve. Not gonna lie, it's gives me stress and anxiety at times. ??‍♂️

Good lord @NorthernBasser.  I'm not sure if I can associate with you anymore.

 

 

 

[MN Fisher]

@NorthernBasser - I'm sure you can spare a bit of that...being a 'neighbor' it wouldn't take much to bring it over the border.

WOW!  If you have that sale let us know. It may be worth a drive west. ?

Sad part is I've spent so much on tackle/rods/reels, yet I have no graphs on the bow and just a rinky dink $120 black and white one I have on the console I mainly use for water temps and depth. I guess I'm still old school in the sense that I like to find the fish on my own. But I do plan on upgrading one of these times.

I noticed that in the photos, but I figured you had simply removed them for the winter.

 

Now I definitely can't be your friend anymore.

I feel like if I'm giving some of it away the least you could do is drive this way??  Besides, being a Packer fan I'm not sure I'm allowed to cross the border.

Sell some of that tackle and you could probably get livescope...

You got a random Burrito just chilling and I spent an hour last night unable to pull the trigger on it at TW

 

Straight tackle kingpen status ?

I could probably get everything in the boat if I tried? It would definitely sink though.

Screw EE, this is awesome! I love a good pegboard display! What kind of boat?

Haha thanks. I do get a little embarrassed by how out of control I've gotten. Oh well. 

 

The boat is a 2018 Crestliner VT17. 17.5' v-hull. Nothing fancy but gets the job done. I think I wanna get something a little bigger within the next few years. Definitely wanna get some power poles/talons. 

 

 

 

(while looking through my phone for any boat pics I came across this. I guess my rinky dink graph isn't black and white afterall ?)

I wondered what kind of boat it was too. I could tell it was an aluminum mod v, but not much more. At least the graph is color, but you definitely need to upgrade. My gosh, no GPS even. That is old school.

 

I see way too many rods and reels on the deck too. Just a giant pile of them.

 Good thing you can't see the other side of the deck! 

 

Most the time I like 6-8 rods on the deck max. Then there's days where nothings going my way and next thing you know I yank out another 5-6 rods.

In my experience, when there are that many rods out, things aren't going well.
