jasonking+FollowHow do y'all fish every day without burning out? Love fishing but just thinking about loading gear and driving somewhere distant makes me exhausted. How do you daily anglers keep the motivation up? #fishing #FishingLife #Anglers #Outdoors 3519Share
jasonking+FollowBig catch day - what do you do with excess fish? Fellow anglers, when you have a huge day and catch more fish than you can eat, how do you handle it? My freezer's about to overflow! #fishing #bigcatch #Anglers 1010Share
fisherchad+FollowBaitcaster truth: your thumb is your best friendSo I was helping a buddy pick his first baitcaster yesterday and realized how much misinformation is out there. Here's the real deal: Small baitcasters work best with 1/4-1/2 oz lures. Anything lighter? Just grab a spinning reel - it'll cast way further and save you headaches. All those fancy digital features? Skip 'em. Your thumb + basic braking is all you need. Yeah, you'll get bird's nests at first, but that's how we all learned. The old-timers only had their thumb and caught plenty of fish. I keep my spinning rod for guests now - less time untangling, more time fishing! 😅 What's your take? Team baitcaster or spinning for light lures? #fishing #BaitcasterTips #FishingAdvice #Anglers277Share
kdiaz+FollowGear doesn't catch fish - knowledge does! 🎣Fishing has become way too much of a show-off sport. Everyone's obsessing over who has the "better" setup - baitcasters vs spinning, fly vs conventional, expensive rods vs budget gear. Here's the truth: I've seen people catch fish on basic setups while gear snobs with $2000 rigs get skunked. Why? Because they spend more time arguing about equipment than learning fish behavior, feeding patterns, and where fish actually are. Sure, baitcasters cast further but risk bird nests. Spinning reels are more forgiving. But honestly? Use whatever you're comfortable with and focus on understanding the fish instead. Are you catching fish? That's all that matters. Your reel won't be the reason you succeed - your knowledge will. #fishing #FishingTips #Anglers #baitcastervsspinner4913Share
fisherchad+FollowNever say the "W" word while fishing 🤫⛵Call me superstitious, but I swear the moment someone mentions the “W,” the fish stop biting and the drift goes wild. Happened last time we were out flounder fishing—perfect conditions until someone praised the "nice wind." Boom. Chaos. 😅 Maybe it’s just bad luck, maybe it’s the fish gods listening… but next time, zip it. Anyone else believe in this? #fishing #fishingsuperstitions #Anglers13495Share
kdiaz+Followgot jabbed by a catfish spine once… never againHandle enough fish and sooner or later you’ll take a spine. I used to laugh it off—until a small channel cat drove its serrated pectoral spine right into my hand. The pain hit quick, a throbbing burn that wouldn’t let up, and the swelling had me convinced I’d left half that spine in there. Learned fast that catfish spines aren’t just sharp—they’ve got a mild venom that makes it ten times worse. Ever since, I grip them behind the fins like my life depends on it. Anyone else had a catfish spine story gone bad? #Fishing #CatfishTales #fishinginjury #Anglers 6366Share
jasonking+Follow😩 hooked myself… with a barbed hookAnyone else using barbed hooks ever get snagged by their own gear? Happened to me today—hooked myself real good. Still stings. Tell me I’m not the only one! #fishing #fishingfails #hookaccidents #anglers3528Share
