What's your bass fishing superpower?

[Darth-Baiter]

if I'm being honest.  my sleep is my superpower.  more often than not, I can go to sleep as needed. if I am waking up at 3:00 am, I can trudge off the bed at 7 and fall asleep.  and I can wake up 5 minutes before the alarm goes off.   my wife thinks I am weird.

Cool superpower! Sometimes I'm too excited to fall asleep in time to fully rest before the next morning's fishing and I go fishing tired and fish poorly.

Mine would have to be the fact I just love being outside. If the fish aren't biting I'm still out there having an awesome time looking at wildlife, the weather, and enjoying not seeing any walls. 

 

This is probably because I grew up outside. I was born in a rural area, lived by a state park, earned an Eagle Scout, and most of my childhood hobbies were outside. I've been wet and cold for days at a time hiking in the mountains, so whatever a day of fishing (assuming it's safe) has to throw at me won't phase me much. 

 

Becoming an adult I got a busy desk job in a city and forgot how much I needed the outdoors until the past couple years where I reconnected and got a lot happier.

 

I'm not some great bass master, so there's plenty of days I'm just catching a good time.

The ability to throw my lure in a tree even when it doesn't seem possible.

My bass fishing superpower is breaking my gear in stupid and totally preventable ways.

 

Newest addition to the club, my two week old daiwa kage baitcast rod. Local shop is gonna help me out on the replacement but its backordered till god knows when. I never want to know the sound of $200 snapping again

Weird. If you two have that superpower, then I'm your arch-nemesis, as I've never broken a rod.
