Which sports figure are you?

[Swamp Girl]

Which sports figure parallels your career?

 

I'm the Brett Favre of bassin'.

 

Long career

 

I retire ("I'm done fishin' for the fall. Too cold to fish any longer.") and unretire ("I just had to fish one more time!")

 

Lotta touchdowns, I.e. bass in the boat.

 

Lotta interceptions, I.e. bass snatched by weeds.

 

Finally, like Brett, I'll toss into the gnarliest thicket. We're both gunslingers. 

 

 

 

Are you fumblin' Bill Buckner? Streaky Joe DiMaggio? Grateful Lou Gehrig? Bold Joe Namath? Steady John Stockton? Maniacally focused Kobe Bryant? Born to golf Tiger Woods, raised in the sport? Etc.

 

@WRB has to be Babe Ruth.

Jay Cutler

 

Nobody can deny that I'm very talented, but I screw up a lot and I don't take it seriously. Like Smokin' Jay, I'm out there puffing on my fruity berry marshmallow bubblegum vape like a man. Sometimes people question if my heart is even in it since I'll skip perfectly good days to fish because I just don't feel like it, but then I'll also go on miserable weather days when nobody else is out there. Sometimes I'll make a cast that not even I can believe I hit and then the next cast I look like a moron.

Happy Gilmore. Unconventional, bruins fan, hotheaded. 

[Swamp Girl]

Those ^two^ are great, guys! They both made me laugh. Thanks for playing! 

[Mobasser]

I would like to think I'm  Babe Ruth, but I'm probably more like a little league player.

[Team9nine]

Tom Landry - same demeanor; always wearing the same hat; and have that same “smile” in all my pictures 😉

 

[Tennessee Boy]

Payton Manning,  I tend to overthink everything and I’m a Vol for life.  Also, I sometimes yell Omaha! when I change lures.  I’m not sure why.
 

[king fisher]

Roger Staubach.  Because every cast is a Hail Mary.

You are so funny!

 

You too, @king fisher, but I'm out of reactions. 

[Skunkmaster-k]

I consider myself more of a Bartolo Colon. 

[Bankc]

I'm the Secretariat of bass fishing.  I have no idea what's going on around me and I just do what I'm told.  Sometimes I win.  Sometimes I lose.  I'm not really aware either way.  But whatever happens, I'm happy because I get to bury my face in a bag of food when it's over. 

[Pat Brown]

I feel like Christian Laettner sinking the game winning buzzer beater shot in the 1992 NCAA men's basketball championship in which Duke narrowly beat Kentucky - pretty much every time a fish manages to make it to the boat/bank.  😂😂😂

 

'It wasn't pretty.  But we got it done.'

 

That's my motto in bass fishing.

John McEnroe after I miss a hook set.

And same jeans 😂

Al Bundy

 

I keep reliving past catches hoping someone cares about it and every so often I get a mild moment of glory again. I also work at a job that goes unseen and no one appreciates 😂

 

[TnRiver46]

Cal Ripken, step onto the field every time I get the chance 

[Susky River Rat]

I could also be Dale Earnhardt sr. Why? Because I intimidate the fish into not biting. 

[J Francho]

Uncle Rico

[IcatchDinks]

I've got the attitude of Lou Gehrig and the career of Rusty Staub. 

 

I consider myself the luckiest man alive, and so far I have serviceable but average production. 

[Dwight Hottle]

I kinda resemble Reggie Jackson always swinging for the fences but holds the record for the most strikeouts. 

[Swamp Girl]

I love your attitude, ICD.

 

Reggie, Reggie, Reggie!

[DaubsNU1]

I'm thinking Greg Maddux.

 

Calm demeanor, don't look the part, kind of nerdy, not the biggest arm (casting distance), but precise and accurate.

 

But I'm no where near "Cy-Young" status overall. HA!

[crypt]

Micky Mantle...........always loves what he does.....

[Choporoz]

Leon Lett. 

 

I literally fumbled a $4K AOY fish in final minutes of 2021 season.  Landed, lipped, unhooked and dropped

White Goodman

 

Don't care if you're if you're a man, woman, kid, senior citizen, dog, cat, black, white, or handicapped.  I'm throwing the ball as hard as I can at you every time.  No discrimination, no mercy.
