My 'buddy" made a big deal the other day. "Let's go fishing" he said.
So I spring into action and turn the duck blind back into a bass boat.
The trailer lights had an issue too.
Bought a license and some Bomber lures from Ft Smith Arkansas, a proud state with a proud fishing heritage, and they think they invented fishing with lures.
The first fish I snagged was a channel cat. (Bass lure?)
The front treble hook looked like it got ran over by a truck. Wasn't easy getting it out.
So I switched poles to the other one that had another brand new Bomber tied on.
Caught a nice little bass and found that the hooks were thesame condition. That's when I looked at the third one that wasn't opened yet. It was the same. So I got out the last of the 4. An older version of the exact same lure. Same hook condition.
So...is there some new hook style that I've not discovered where a treble hook has two barbs on one side and one on the other?
I've re-hooked a lure before but a brand new one?!?!? $5.88 and they can only supply one decent hook with the other bent/smashed? Check your hooks I guess.
My buddy punked out and made another vague appointment to go fishing. I'll bet you guys $50 that it never happens. He wants me to take him in a boat so he can sit on the bank and fish for catfish? I'm like....uhhhh....hell no.
I got a lawn chair he can have.
Oh yeah that little bass was a sriper and fought like mad. They always feel like "OMG it's huge" then a regular size fish appears.
