I'm officially a redneck, watched BASSmasters classic

[spidey07]

Sure, I like to fish. I like trying to figure out where they are and what is going on and nothing beats landing a really nice fish. But watching it on TV? I mean C'mon that is the lamest of lame.

And yet I did watch it on TV. And I did enjoy it. And I think I learned something from it.

Who's ready for the upcoming spawning! DrPizza share your secrets!

Mike Iaconelli FTW, that guy rocks. Check out his show on VS sometime, it's pretty cool this dude can pull out some insane fish in these urban areas, but then again he gets paid for catching fish, so..

There's some bass around here but we're dealing with about 16" of ice on most fishable spots on the Mississippi and this hasn't been a great year for ice fishing in general. I get in some cat fishing out on the boat and hit the trout streams after work during the week.

HAHA, just seen your edit 🙂


EDIT: Wow, reading his wiki it sounds like pretty much everyone on the circuit hates him. I still think it's funny if people are hanging around him while hes fishing you can see them get startled when he starts screaming.

Hey man! This makes it official.

It's a culture thing, you wouldn't understand. 😉

You should have seen him on the final.
"giant! Put that camera down! Put it down!, we're out (as he lands a good 5 pounder)"

regarding your edit - it's a game man.

Fuck that. I love fishing but there's something really retarded about waving bass in the air after you come in for the weigh in. Salt water fishing is where its at.

Lol, spidey, I still have friends who would think you were an effete Hollywood pussy because you post regularly on that there internet, no lie -- people who think being on the grid and having a TV to watch fishing shows instead of actually fishing make you some sort of limp-wristed girly man.

They respect me because we go WAY back, though.

You have NO idea. 😛

Agreed. But you can't really put a "court" on saltwater.

The rules were pretty simple and they played by the rules. 54 pound of bass in 3 days with a 5 fish take per day is pretty impressive.

Can you get that in one fish on salt water? Sure. But this is a strict tournament fishing with a defined "court"

I will not deny that I love saltwater fishing much more. I'll try to get a pic up of my 15 pound redfish.

Heh, I was about to comment that someone who posts 37000+ times on Anandtech's forums should probably be disqualifed from Redneck status
