I went to BassPro in Springfield MS. it is paradise. It was so big that I went back the next day to finish looking around. Last of the real men stores.
I tried to warn you that fishing was addicting.

1. Fishing . . . mans quest to outsmart a fish . . who we all think is a dumb animal . . . which they are not.
EXAMPLE:
Small Blue Gills school at the shoreline - 15 to 25. I like to throw in bits of bagel about the size of a silver dollar. They go nuts and it brings in the Bass which like to eat these fish. That is how I caught my two Bass today.
So we caught a few of them and used them as live bait. They last much longer than a shiner and can move the float around. I Already caught a 2 lb LM Bass this way.
So I had the idea of trying to net a whole bunch of them at once using the bagel. First time I did it it worked great - got 4 of them.
Now - as soon as I come to the waters edge - no matter how much floating bagel is in front of them - they will not move a mm. Soon as I go back on the grass . . . they attack the bread. THAT is not dumb by any means.
2. Collecting stuff - which I love to do. And fishing stuff definitely somes under that heading because . . . technology does help in the battle (see #1).
