They call me Swampy.

[Swamp Girl]

I fished for walleyes, smallies, and muskies for decades, but a couple years ago, I started fishing for largemouth. As a kid, I'd caught largemouth in farm ponds, so fingers crossed I can catch them again in 2025. I fish from a canoe and like to fish early. I bought a lure called a Whopper Plopper. Fingers crossed it'll catch some bass! I also plan to cast a Popper. If there were lures called a Dropper, Schmopper Flopper, and a Clopper, I'd buy those too.

 

They call me Swampy. Try to guess why!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

P. S. - If this post is too goofy for Bass Resource, feel free to delete it. I'll understand.

I can't tell ya what they call me, at least not here on this PG forum. 😂 I really need to get some new friends. 🤦‍♂️😂

Swampy seems appropriate, being you mostly fish the bogs and swamp.

I don’t know about the rest of the country, but down South when someone says that they are swampy it means their butt crack is nasty.

I spent so much time in the swamps of the Atchafalaya Basin and on the Atchafalaya River during my teenage years and early 20's my Mom started calling me a "river rat".

High praise.

@GRiver came about from me wade fish  in the Cane River so much, that people said they should change the name to George’s River. I just shorten it for my username.  
Good times for sure.

My Grandma called me a RiverRat in 1970. Glad to see there is still a lot of us around
