I know how you feel. I lost one last year that would have been a contender to win the STAR! Spit the hook 4 feet from boat.

I would give myself a 4

In all seriousness........the older I get the less I care about catching.......I can really fish all day just to help my son catch them.

I have been blessed.
Don't have a trophy trout yet......but I've got a 10.12 oz. Bass that I released.......a red that went 42 INCHES in the surf that I released and a red snapper that went 27 pounds that well.......I did not release.

I have 154 yellow fin on a Penn 30 stand up gear. I 50 pound Wahoo on the same trip.

I guess I am pretty good when the fish co-operate.

But I can't wait for shuggas to catch her first fish in the back yard pond and then at the camp and then off the coast and then off shore and then.........who knows

I had a 1st place fish on my stringer get eatin by a shark along with a 2nd place fish ! N I have the pics to prove it lol !!!

:) Peta fox baby at its finest...

I'm about a 2. No need fishing around me.

Where the heck is the zero?! That's my magic #!

1... Is the loneliest number that you'll ever know

sent from between buns

Just seems like the right place

sent from between buns

I fish mostly saltwater. Gonna have to go with an 8 pernt tree

in freshwater i'm a strong 8. especially for sacalait. I'm not much for catching reds, but fishing trout on the bank I'm a 7. in the boat I'm about 5 cuz i'm still learnin some spots.

6

I'd rather be a 10 as a dad and a 2 as an angler than a 10 as an angler and a 2 as a dad! Kudos to you for working to put your son on the fish.

Dude I seen you fish...you suck.....all I see you do is break off because you don't know how to tie a bait

.

Bahahahaha had to steal that pic W!!

A hero on galveston a zero on calcasuie. galveston bay always has water to fish any day regardless of weather calcasuie kicks my *** often. Regardless all fish grow out of the water. The day after it was 6lbs, 2 days after it was probably closer to 7lbs. The following year your a member of the 30inch 10lb club.

6.8 saltwater 8 on bass and .5" away from 30'" club

OK, I'm sober now. 2.5, but I do wear Costas and Columbia gear.

8 on bass got bored and quit fishing em. 6 on sacalait and learning. 12 on gar and any other undesirables. 2 on saltwater unless I have a guide and still Maybee pushing 3.

Eatin ain't cheatin

I'd give my self a 4 on big lake. I know a little bit about the lake but i know i still have a lot to learn.

I'm a 3 for the most part.

Reds - 6
Specks - 2
Sheephead - 7.5
Puppy Drum - 7.5

Bass - 2
Perch - 6
Freshwater Cat - 6

Gaff Top = 10
Hardhead = 10
Specks = 3
reds = 2
Flounder = 5

I've been landlocked for the past 15 years...
Bass I'd give myself a 6 (7 on Lake Fork)...
and a 2 on the saltys

3-4. I just like getting out of the house after a long week of work and school.

Wheres all the 9-10s that talk all that trash every week.....lol......i guess they decided to keep quiet.....i was a 2 saturday lol...

I'm here. Just don't like to brag...:grinpimp:

He came on here claiming no one is a 10. Whats up wit dat?

Lol. True dere lcd

Fishing the banks and surf in G.I. a 7.5
Walking the piers in false river a 7.5
Only been to big lake once, was by myself, in my boat w/ no map. caught a few reds and trout. So?

4
When I think I really have a handle on the Lake, the Lake kicks me in the cup.

6 for bass
-3 for specks
maybe 4 for reds

Always start off as a 10 on every trip but trickle down to 1-5 by the end.....I'm still into the fishin' part...just have to work on the catchin' aspect......

-1...can't get out on the lake much anymore-1....

I'm in the same boat - trips are getting few and far between, and only gonna get worse… I am actually going to the Bahamas next week for work!! :work:

Ill take care of the fishing while your gone.....leave the boat keys for me...

What is fishing anymore

...who has time for that....don't yall have any kids......

So True ! :rotfl:

I'd say reds-7
specks-4
fresh water catfish-8
bass-3
sacs-2
bream-9
redfish- I find them most of the time when I know the water
trout- i catch them when they are biting and everyone knows
bass- never put the time in besides early in the morning fishing a frog or beating the banks with a spinner bait
sacs- start out fishing for them and end up fishing for bream
bream- i know the ends and outs and any day from april to august i can smoke em
catfish- i can normally do well with catfish but is not hard to catch them throw something on the bottom and soon or later they are bound to pick it up

Summer: 4
Fall and Winter: 2.5
Spring: 1.5
Generally speaking, I suck most times. But I still get excited driving over, just knowing that this will be the Trip I fianlly figure them out.

Big lake:
Spring-summer-4
Winter-5.5

Those 4-5 days a week will vanish quick with kids...lol...until they get a lil older then its once a week lol

How bout I take care of your camp for you while you are out? :smokin: Yes....I would do that for you. :)

I found time to break away in the first 5 months. It's not that I don't have those windows anymore it's that I'd rather be with my little bud bud. It's amazing how they change your life/priorities (and we all know what is was our top priority ;)
As far as working in the Bahamas ... That's just terrible how unfortunate can one be? I mean....u could be working in Houston :). Im sure u can squeeze in a Goliath grouper trip there. How long r u going for?

Judging by my freezer, -2 but I'm working on it!

Just a week to the Bahamas and I will be hanging out at an oil terminal. Wish I had a chance to fish but no can do. Thought I was going to have to leave on Sunday, which is my daughter's 1st communion. Had to push back on that big time as my wife was getting the divorce papers ready!!

I spent more money on my girl in one week than fishing...m.I'm doomed

Just wait until the barbies, my little ponies, little pet shops, build a bears, american girl dolls, etc. start popping up. You have no idea. I could have a couple of YellowFins by now, but wouldn't trade it for the world!

Lol i know exactly where you coming from....wait till she is 3 and you go to walmart....suddenly your house becomes walmart and you then become the money tree... Its awsome when bdays and christmas rolls around its all about them...expressions are priceless...they grow up quick....so that being said how much for the HAYNIE LOL..

I'd be happy to help too ;)
