The oldest trick in the book is to hold an object toward the camera lens to cause it to appear larger.

That fish is not nearly as large as would like us to believe !

Yeah sure. So all you guys whining about holding the fish out towards the camera, when you's take a picture of a nice catch you's hold it behind you? Maybe hang it from a tree a few feet in the background? Don't wanna give a false perspective right?

Let's see one of your lunker pictures.


Eh...wot?

Based on the jaw I thought the same thing. And yeah, it’s a toad for sure!!

Because it's a lot of fun. I don't have to eat everything I catch to enjoy fishing.

Zactly. Ive been known to spend good money chasing fish I have no intentions of eating

Hey big man what do you think that fish weighed? I know because I weighed it. Take a guess ?? No wait first which one you talking about???? But I weighed all three. Including the striper..
Read the title again. I didn't brag on how much it weighed. I pointed out how big the belly was on it. IF you think that fish doesn't have a big belly I bet your one of the 32% that think Biden is doing a good job !!!

They aren't as photogenetic ... other than winning money I have no clue why anyone would fish for bass. well small mouths out of cold water are decent table fare..

So I can see some just don’t know how to fry fish, lol. Bass (largemouths) are great eating. We get to help thin out a few ponds from time to time and those bass don’t get thrown away. Bass “fingers” are some of the best eating. I prefer bass over catfish. In fact the bass tin is always the first gone before catfish and even crappie. Now I prefer crappie, but bass are a close second.

I can tell right now you have never caught a small mouth on a spinnerbait ! This time of year the bite jolts you like an electric fence. I refer to it as getting car wrecked .
