Are you a hammer?

[Captain Phil]

When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail...

My Dad said, “If it doesn’t  fit, get a bigger hammer.”  If I’m a hammer it’s a tack hammer.

When I hammer my head against the boat wondering where I went wrong.

I know the term hammer gets thrown around a lot. 

 

I guess it does now ... had never heard/seen that before this thread

I don't consider myself a hammer by any means. I have made the observation that there are numerous hammers among the members on BR from north to south & east to west.

If I’m a hammer than I’m definitely this hammer…

Been in the boat with at least 3 and on the beach with 2

Genuine Hammers.

It can be humbling. 

I'm not a hammer by any stretch.

Either way, whatever I am,

You probably don't want it in your tool box.

I’m seeing some “humble hammers” on this thread.

I'm not a hammer........I'm an automotive technician, so I suppose I'm a wrench......or maybe a socket.   

 

I know a few hammers.   They all share 2 things.  The ability to catch a bunch of bass, and the ability to remain humble about it.

I’m like one of those weekend bikers I dress the part but in actuality I’m more of a rubber mallet.

If Dwight isn't a hammer, then no one is.*

 

 

 

*Other than @WRB, of course.

Only if you don't take care of them....I've got one that's 40 years old, still with the original wood handle...little linseed oil every now and then takes care of the rotting issue.

He types that from the shelter of a wooden roof and framed wooden walls 

 

ive got my grandpas wooden handled garden tools from god knows what decade , probably the 60s. The metal has been used and sharpened and shrunk down pretty small but the wood handles are still stout 

 

I’ve worn out at least 2 synthetic axe handles maybe 3

I'm 72 years old, I got one that was my dad's which would put it somewhere between 80 & 100 yrs old. I also have his Disston hand saws, the wooden handles are fine.

Wanna go into a fish catching slump? Tell everyone what a "hammer" you are. Guaranteed to work. The 🦨 will visit you often for awhile, and the 🐵 will convince you that you need new tackle to get back on track. 

[Susky River Rat]

@T-Billy I am always in a slump and I tell everyone I am terrible at fishing.

I told my wife that I'm a hot glue gun. Now she laughs every time she looks at me. I just hope she doesn't start calling me Elmer.
