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 #anglers3326Share
dsmith+FollowAre carp actually smarter than bass?I’ve been bass fishing for years, and I’ve had plenty of them strike while making full eye contact with me. But carp? Never once. That’s got me wondering—are carp actually the smarter fish? They’re cautious, unpredictable, and make you work for every bite. Honestly, outsmarting one feels way more rewarding. What do you all think—are carp underrated in terms of intelligence and challenge? #fishing #CarpFishing #Anglers89Share
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
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
kdiaz+FollowDo you have a fishing superstition?Call me crazy, but I NEVER hit the water without my lucky blue cap. It's stained, sun-faded, and my wife threatens to burn it weekly — but the fish know when I’m not wearing it! 🎣 I used to laugh at “lucky hats”... until I got skunked without mine. Truth is, most of us anglers have our rituals — penny tosses, food onboard, cleats pushed in. What’s yours? #fishing #fishingrituals #Anglers 00Share
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 3419Share
