Has this site helped you?

[Gatorbassman]

It is a fact that this site is the best there is for improving anyone's chances and opportunities to catch more bass. It is a privilege to be a Moderator. I would like to thank you guys for making my/our job easy. This is not Glenn's and the Mod's site it's your's and we're just along for the ride. And what a great ride it is.

As for me personally. There is no way of measuring how much I have grown as a bass fisherman and a person sense joining this site. I have made so many great friends and a couple enemies, laughed and laughed harder and enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks again to all the members for being here. This would not be what it is without you.

yes sir, this site has helped me gain confidence in lures and expand my knowledge. I found that there are so many articles on here its almost impossible to read all of them. Even though I have been working on it. Made some good internet friends.

Next goal Mod.

As I've said before, I'm new to bass fishing.  I've fished since I was young, mostly panfish, with a little saltwater thrown in the past few years, but I just recently became really interested in bass.  I don't have anyone nearby to show me the ropes, so I've had to try to pick up information on my own where I can find it.  Until I found this board, it was pretty slim pickings.  Now that I've found the site, it's a wealth of information.  There's so much to be found on the message boards that I've barely even begun to read the articles on the other areas of the site.  I can easily lose track of time when I log in here.

Was it the tips and techniques, the forums, the articles, or just the friendly folks in the forums that helped to make your confidence soar like mine?

E) All of the above.

Seriously, this is the best site ever.  Lots of great info, great people, and to top it all off, a great group of guys keeping this site going. (they aren't people like us, they're gods)  

I knew this site was special the very first time I logged on.

I'm with you 100% on that one 5.

Thanks to everyone for all the advice that I've gotten, confidence that I've gained, and fun times that I've had.

[Bankbeater]

Definitely.

I used to fish crankbaits all the time.  Reading the advice from the people on this forum gave me the confidence to go out and try plastics and jigs.  This is a great forum for bass fishing info, or just to hang out in for a while.

[Guest avid]

I have seen alot of fishing sites come and go over the years.  There are couple other pretty good ones out there, but nothing that comes close to BassResource.com.  The knowledge, sharing, comraderie, humor and vigilance by Glenn and the mods keep this the best of the best.

It would be impossible for anyone, and I mean anyone, to spend time here and not become a better bass angler.

[Bassassasin12]

When I first visited this site it immediatly nailed me that fishing is something I want to do for the rest of my life. I have learned so much, its truly unbelievebale. I went from bobber and worm to advanced presentations in an astonishing amount of time for a newbie angler. I have now been fishing for almost a year straight and get out on the water about 150 times a year, the only thing stopping me from bass fishing is the ice, and then it is time to pull some fiesty pike out. This site is amazing, it opened me up to all sorts of things like using different baits and getting the feel for them, improving my equipment and realizing the difference it made. This is pretty much the only site I visit whenever I go online and I just can't get enough of it. I still have a ton to learn and am looking forward to many years of membership with the site. Thanks Glenn and all the Mods...

[Snakemover]

A friend got me into fishing. I bought a cheap little Zebco all-in-one pack and started with that. Just throwin real worms and hoping something would pick it up. After reading the articles and posts on this site, I still haven't caught a bass bigger than 12", but I've learned how to tie diff. knots and how to look for structure. I'm hopeful that I'll catch that lunker eventually.   Thanks to ALL OF YOU who have posted your tips and tricks, answered my newbee questions and made this a great informative site.

We are the best board out there, that's not my opinion, that's THE opinion.  

I didn't know there were other sites out there.  :

[Glenn]

WOW!

What an amazing thread this is for me to read. I am extremely humbled by the comments and praise, and am simply blown away by how much this site has affected so many people in such a positive manner. It really hasn't hit me before. I can't tell you how much these comments from so many people whom I respect and admire means to me. Thank you so much!

Although I can take credit for building and overseeing this site, it's you that give it heart and soul. Without you, it's an empty place.

It's like your favorite bar or hangout. It's a nice facility, built in such a way it makes it easy to talk to your friends and enjoy the atmosphere. But if nobody was there, it would be just another building. You folks give it life.

I built this place with you in mind. I wanted a place where you would feel comfortable enough to stay, share your personality and knowledge, and learn just as much as you enjoy teaching. It's taken almost a decade to get there, but I think it's finally reached "breakthrough" (as coined by Jim Collins).

I'm delighted this site has helped you, and honored you've stayed. So many intelligent, polite, helpful, and insightful people here....I'm humbled you've chosen this site as your "hangout".

And to the mods - what a crew! I never dreamed such an amazing dream team could exist!! I can't tell you how much I appreciate everything you do here. You guys are phenomenal!!

Thank you everyone for your help making this site what it is today. And we're only just getting started!

[BASS fisherman]

It is truely amazing that one person can touch so many peoples' lives in ways that they will never even know about. Think about all the relationships that have stemmed from this forum, and its information. Glad you created this site, and thanks for posting Glenn.  You have over 6,000 on this site, but your dedication, and effort has touched the lives of so incredibly many people, it is incomprehensible. Thanks again to Glenn, and all the moderators, authors of the articles, advertisers, the long time posters, and all those from the younger generation that will keep this place going when we are all long gone.

[Captain Cali]

Without this site I would not be the angler I am today. It would have taken me years to gain some of the knowledge I have gained from here. There is no way to put into words how much this place means to me.

[Brian_Reeves]

This site has helped me a lot.  It makes me think about situations that I normally don't get to fish in because of various people's questions about their locations.  Sometimes those same conditions and scenarios show up down here and now I know what to do.  I've already thought about it and talked to people about it so I'm ready for it.

It also helped me gain confidence and faith in my abilities to avoid getting skunked.  It's very rare that I don't catch a fish when I go out now.  If I had the time and money, I'd do like LBH and refuse to go home until I have landed 5 fish but I always have time constraints.    

Mostly, this site has helped me by allowing me to talk to people.  I like talking over the internet and I'm not much for chatrooms so this site is awesome.  It helps me have fun and do better at my fishing...which is my ultimate fun.

[Gorgebassman]

There is a reason that this is the best bass site on the web. I have picked up alot of tricks from alot of people. Things that I would have never thought of I been bass fishing alot of years and its nice to get some fresh input and tricks from the people on this forum.

[Craw]

Great site! Has already helped me a lot and I can't wait to be a part of it throughout the seasons. Glenn has done a great job with the format and the moderators are VERY helpful. The members all have a passion for every conceivable aspect of fishing and a willingness to share what works for them. The possibilities here are endless. My deepest thanks...        Craw

[Keithscatch]

Yep, it sure has helped me. There are allot of knowledgeable folks on this site. I enjoy learning from so many and also sharing something in return. I am passionate about fishing and enjoy speaking with others who share the same love I do. Thanks for such a great site  

[K_Mac]

My fishing has been very limited for the last several months due to health problems, but over that same time I have learned much about bass fishing and found a place to enjoy the fellowship that is for me, so much a part of the sport. Talking about tackle, techniques, and the experiences of fishing is a large part of the joy of fishing IMHO, and we can do that here in a comfortable setting. As Avid said it is the "knowledge, sharing, comraderie, humor, and vigilance" that I find here that makes visiting this site a daily occurrence. Thank you all.

[Guest ouachitabassangler]

I agree, this site has been a really fine place to hang out in. Being involved in the forums has forced me to think about things I wouldn't otherwise think about, which of course improves whatever I do, and adds whatever I needed to know and do. For a lot of years I just fished instinctively without input except from partners and from a bunch of guides. The guides changed my fishing big time long before joining fishing sites, but this site is beginning to rival the input I got from them, as though they are contributing here after getting better. Maybe some of you did guide me somewhere  ;D  

I also figure some fishing magazine writers are getting some cool ideas to write about by lurking around the site. They have nothing on us. They might be writing about what a pro or guide taught them, but where did the pro or guide get some of that?  This place is far better than the magazines because it's interactive here, and in my opinion ranks highest of all fishing sites. So many are mostly idle chit chat talk about anything sites now. How many prompt, personal responses have you received from a fishing magazine or pro/guide site? Keeping an open mind about fishing is critical towards keeping up with bass changing moods and habits too quickly. You get an open mind right here.

[Bassinfreak2]

Without a doubt this site has helped my fishing improve. I have only been a member for a short time but the many ideas and techniques have improved my catch rate and enjoyment of bass fishing. Also I now know who the bait monkey is and that helps explain where all my hard earned $ go. It is easier for me to tell my wife that the monkey stopped by.  Thanks for putting out such a great site and allowing me to be a member.

[KYbass1276]

This site has taught me more than any Tv Show about fishing even thought of.   I have definatly become better due to this site and hope to become even better in the future with the Knowledge of the great members here and the staff that run it.  I have even been able to pass on tips to some pro anglers that I learn from here and have them thinking I was some kind of pro  (obviously I'm not)  but it was nice to be able to share the info with them and actually see them very interested in it and asking more.  We all are succesful through each other I beleve and BassResource.com has made us truly better sportsmen in pursuit of our passion   Thanks to all who made and make it possable

[Rattlinrogue]

This site has helped me become a more versitle fisherman.What's helped me the most is reading about what everybody else is having success with in terms of different baits and techniques for catching bass.Also reading members explain how to fish these different baits has helped.

[5bass]

Also I now know who the bait monkey is and that helps explain where all my hard earned $ go.

He comes with the territory......I just wish he had a job. ;D

[dodgeguy]

this is a great site with lot's of knowledgeable members.the articles section is really a great place to learn a lot.even guys who have fished for years could pick up a couple of tips there.

[Dan:]

Absolutely. Without this site, I would have had no way to learn anything more about fishing. I went from only knowing basic fishing that a kid knows to knowing how to catch more fish, and it has really helped me have more fun. As a college student from a very suburban area, I would have had no people in my normal life to learn anything about fishing from. With this site, I've found a source that can expand my abilities and knowledge faster and more extensively than I ever would have been able to before. Without a doubt, I would not still be fishing without this site.

[ThaSadDaddy]

This site is full of information and there is always someone to help when you have a question.
