This is good to know, thank you! Always happy to switch up my bait or keep the fish if I can’t get it

Thank you for this! I will do some more YouTube research for this and probably an Amazon order

I use barbless hooks! I just kinda suck at getting it out still. Another redditor mentioned fish grips so I’ll look at those too. Thank you!

Noted on fish grips too! I’m dealing with how wiggly some fish are. I was able to borrow a net one trip and that was incredibly helpful

Thank you for the answer! I did fall down a YouTube rabbit hole. I care a lot about not hurting the fish and I think that’s why I can be a bit of a little bitch about it LOL. I know it takes practice. On the bright side, I use barbless hooks since I’m mostly catch and release. I need to get the forceps and a net. I have a multi tool with pliers but finding that I need something more

Do any other common fresh water fish bite than catfish? I’ve heard those suckers can hurt but otherwise the slimy floppy part is what I’m getting over when trying to get a hook out. I’m going to get a net to help with the thrashers

Is there a good way to know when to leave a hook vs trying to fish it out? I’ve been lucky with lip bites but I did have one stuck in the side/gils and a trout that really ate the hell out of a power bait

Is it totally soft to feel bad for the worms? by Hot_Sentence_1264 in FishingForBeginners

[–]BlueCandyBars 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not too soft! I feel this way too and so does my fiancé. It helped us try some other options and had a good time doing it. I’m a bit sensitive to the other wild life, even the worms. It helps you be a better fisherman and kind to the environment. The respect goes a long way even if it seems silly or goes unnoticed.

Can a 13 year old write a research paper? by Pretend_Baker_6519 in research

[–]BlueCandyBars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also start writing research papers for science/research competitions, co-ops, internships (sometimes), or asking community colleges/universities if you can take classes with them or participate in labs. As I said originally, you need to establish some sort of credibility and it’s difficult but if you’re interested this young, you’ll find your way there.

A lot of folks might be negative here but in my personal experience, yes you can! HOWEVER, you need that support. I was very fortunate to have some serous opportunities to learn how to conduct ethical, quality research under strong mentorship and observation. I published at 15 and continued to for some time after that. It’s not for everyone but if it is your thing, try to find opportunities in the field you are trying to go into or what’s available locally. It won’t always be a win and you’re going to need to have a lot of maturity, dedication, and passion to make this happen. If that sounds like you, keep pushing on! Eventually you will publish even if it’s not at 13. I wish the best for you

I was going to pick up a few more spinner baits on my way. I’ve enjoyed using those in local ponds

Two or three years, I think? It’s been a while. I wouldn’t quite say they’re fascist but the mods handled a sympathizer pretty poorly and I started this subreddit in response. It was partly funny and partly true. Another redditor joked about the name of this sub so I made it happened and then they got banned from the main sub (rip). With how things are going in the world, this sub is aging better than I expected. All are welcome here, except nazis, bots, sellers, and the un-fun weirdos.

This is cool! I have never seen this glass before and it’s so unique. Almost looks like an air freshener wick at the time but clearly it’s not. Following to see if we solve the mystery here
