Humor: Warning for newcomers

[Painter Dude]

Hey you guys think the sport of fishin is bad!

Please don't look in my Golf Bag!

I may not be the guy that wins the tournament, but I will look good coming in last place.

Conversation between two anglers at the weight in

- Redlinerobert is really the worst fisherman I 've ever seen, he always finishes in the last place.

- Yeah he is ..... I wonder how does it feel to drive to the tourney in a spankin brand new H2 limited edition, jump on a spankin brand new Ranger Z22 and fish with a deck full spankin brand new Steez rods n 'reels. BTW, you managed to pay your mortgage, house, cat & boat payments ?

Third angler observing from the side:"I heard he missed last months cat payment."  ;D

[Raul]

Yeah, that 's what happens when you have three different sites open at the same time and jump from the pet forum, to the plant forum to the fishing forum randomly.  :

I have one Shimano, but it is one of the old green ones.

Are those older than the black ones, 'cause mine's black?  And its still my one of my favorites.  That reel, on a Berkely Series One rod, is still my favorite worming outfit.  AND, back in the day, I picked up the rod for $28 and the reel for $42 (20 years ago).  Needless to say, the rest of my stuff is less in value.  Other than the Shimano Curado I bummed off of my cousin (for nothing), I don't have any rod or reel over $50 and can't complain.  To each his own.

P.S.  Like Glenn said, I saw the humor in this from the start, too.  

Oh, and here's my smiley so I don't offend anyone. . . LOL

;D

I don't  care what any of you say, I am going to continue to use my Steetz rods with my Zebco 202 Snoopy reels !!!

Jim, you got it bass-ackwards; the Steez reel goes on the Snoopy pole, Jeesh, how many time do I gotta tell ya

I wasn't going to say anything when this thread started and I decided not to say anything when it went downhill....I'll say something now.

Fish with what brung ya!  

Live it!

Ever done this?

Last time I went out fishing I set up an older cheaper rod & reel with a weightless bait and set it aside. after having no luck with two of my nicer setups with different baits(spinner & worm) I threw the old bulky rod and started tearing them up, by the time we left I had fished that setup 70% of the time and I noticed it didn't feel so bad after all and was having so much fun fishing I didn't think to switch the bait to my nicer setup.

Although I say "my nicer setups" I live in a smaller price range than others on this site,I set a limit on my rods to not exceed $100 and never spend more on a rod than the reel.Some may disagree but I haven't found a rod I could justify going any higher.

I must make big protest.

As a Gypso-American I find high offense in you dumping on us.

I'm big sick and want to puke goat cheese when I see pampered American Paris Hiltons

make fun of my hard working people.  My wifes armpit hair is standing on end.

I await your apology.  

Twenty chickens and your credit card password will get you forgiveness.

Otherwise "beware the gypsy curse"

I found the secret was turning 40.  I've fished with medium quality gear for the most part, but shamed my family into going in on a Calais/Loomis GLX combo for the birthday! ;D  Secret is saying you don't want ANYTHING for your 40th, then one week before when their hounding you about it, you grab the Bass Pro Shops catalog and say FINE!  This is what I want.  What do you have to lose?

Btw, as much as I agree with the belief that you don't need to throw the best money can buy to be successful, I've gotta say that my combo is SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET.
