New fishing terms or labels.

[slickfish]

The duck!

No definition needed just look at w.

[Captain Mike P.]

T-Lash..... He does not own any fishing gear,but swears he grew up using baitcasters. Backlashes 4 of your rod n reels to the point of re-stringing.

[mr crab]

The "PHD"
that guy that overanalyzes everything about fishing.

Ex. "You see what happened there was due to the baometric pressure falling which coincided with 100 ppm salinity, the west wind, pink braid, flouro leader, And an exactly 3.5 inch mullet is why you caught that fish."

[Sabinelyfe]

Front boater:

That guy running the trolling moter that will always think of himself and never anyone else in the boat. Sometimes he will do this so hardcore that the others in the boat can't even cast so they aimlessly stare and wonder if they will ever get to try and catch a fish.

Man on a mission:

The guy that always runs the trolling motor either 0mph or full blast. No in between. So bad if he would so happen to hit something it would crack or likely break his trolling motor shaft.

[C-Bass2mouth]

"Just missed a toad" guy:

Gets bit on a drop shot (or other typically small fish bait/presentation) more than likely by a perch (possibly even brush), and KNOWS that was at least a 5 pounder. Gets 2 bites, no fish, and thinks he has a pattern nailed down for the rest of the day.

"Your boat, my spot" guy:

Guy that you take in your boat, that totally disregards the fact that you fish a certain body of water a significant amount more than said person, yet still will suggest that you completely abandon your spots/techniques to go fish 1 dock 8 miles away that he caught 2 fish on in 1997.

Ex: You - "I went and pre fished for the tourney tomorrow while you had work today. Got some really good bites on a frog, but didn't set the hook. Super confident we can grind it out there and catch our 5, maybe a kicker too, think we can catch 18 lbs, I'd say that's enough to win." Him - "Ok sounds like a plan, I haven't been this year but I say we....etc. etc."

"Dink getter" (me): Guy who has all intentions and ideas prior to trip, to commit the entire day to try and catch toads, fishes for an hour without a bite, disregards all plans and commences to relentlessly smash dinks, and then wonders why he can't win money when a tournament comes.

The Happy Camper, aka Mr. "Nothing's gonna bring me down" or Mr. "I'm just happy to be here":

His fishing plans are usually ruined by work or family obligations. When he finally makes it out, he's usually alone because he just happens to get a random opportunity to go. Sh@t constantly goes wrong or there's no bite, but he smiles through it all... he's just happy to finally be out there.

Kinda poking fun at myself here.

[BassYakR]

Ouch! I started taking my son in the boat when he was real young. One trip when he was 6 or 7 he was just casting randomly and I asked him what was up. He said I was catching all the fish because I was in the front and was casting to the grass. I lifted the trolling motor and and put out the stick anchor and sent him to the front. A few minutes later he caught a 5 lb red.

Lesson learned.

This is my Dad to the T. I used to be the exact opposite always stressed out about putting fish in the box. But each year I find I am enjoying my time on the water more and more by stressing less about whether or not we ate catching limits.

The ironic thing is that I usually have more success on the laid back trips that we are mainly just out there trying to have fun than the ones that I am hell bent on catching fish.

I hope in the near future I can be more like my dad while fishing and enjoy each and every minute that I am lucky enough to be fishing, especially while he is out there with me.

He was always fishing "used water" in the back of the boat.

This is me all day. The last time I went about two weeks ago I only caught one hardhead catfish. Threw it back of course. But, I was just happy to be out there. I get to go so rarely that any time on the water is good for me.

What get me boiling is the azzhat that waits till hes in the chamber to load all his gear......... really? I make damn sure Im fully loaded before pulling up on the ramp. drop and GO!

Unfortunately I am that guy that makes the ramp my parking lot, but in my defense Im a single launcher, meaning I have to unload the boat, go park it, get out, go back to the truck parked on ramp, and move the truck/trailer. My apologizes in advance, Im that guy..........
