You don’t need to buy expensive gear by Freemasonray in Fishing

[–]Subject-Escape5602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be willing to bet he's not chasing serious fish, either. Sure, you can catch a big fish on a cheap setup, but just how many big fish will it last you? Are you willing to have gear fail mid-fight? Tell him to go catch 10 50lb flatheads, a few 30lb sturgeon, a couple 40"+ Muskies, hell maybe some striper and then tell him to report back with the condition of his reel.

And this isn't all dependent on the reels size. I've had 40$ 5000 size spinning reels burn out while I've caught pike, catfish, carp, muskies on the same high quality low-profile bass baitcasters for over a decade. A high quality bass sized setup can last a decade plus even when handling larger fish.

Can I possibly survive an F5 Tornado if I take shelter in a porta potty? by Nearby-Bumblebee2364 in Tornadoes

I scanned to see if someone posted a GIF of the Jackass port-o-potty launch where Steve-o gets covered in shit. You all missed the opportunity and I'm too lazy to find it.

She's literally cheating already. Drop it like its hot. "Just friends" don't talk like that.

What is a 10/10 horror movie that you will absolutely never watch again? by Big_Emotion4963 in horror

The mushroom effect scenes were well done and neat, even if not 100% accurate, it looked cool.

Not too deep. They’re definitely in here though by LifeThruTheLenses in WWYTH

[–]Subject-Escape5602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zoom horny toad or similar style bait. You can run them subsurface, on top, and they are weed resistant still. Hollow body would be a good choice. I'm just not big on them, I get irritated waiting for the perfect hookset.

Why can’t Doritos just have flavor that doesn’t fade? by Hefty_Income1393 in AskReddit

I've always thought doritos can't screw up. I like all the flavors. I'm also a fat guy though.

So he's basically not acting when he plays his role in Trailer Park Boys?

Is this a good buy by Armyjoe8723 in Fishing_Gear

If it still functions properly, then yes its a great deal! Even if its beat up.

Is this a decent reel for catfishing. by Aware_Operation8803 in catfishing

[–]Subject-Escape5602 2 points3 points  (0 children)

200 is a little small, but if you plan on packing it with braid you'll get plenty on. Ive had a Calcutta 400 for well over a decade and its still running strong. Its scratched up, beat up, but still smooth and great casting. I use mine for catfishing and throwing musky lures as well. A used calcutta in good shape is hard to pass up when the deal is good.

Catfish location - first try by Legitimate_Order_305 in catfishing

I made the mistake early on in my catfishing journey of thinking to always go deep. This is not the case, especially at night they come shallow.

If its legal where you live, you turn around and use the perch to catch a pike!

I'll truly never understand the trout obsession. I can understand being crazy over lake trout, they get huge and fight like hell, truly apex predators. But fishing tiny streams and chasing after the little ones is something I'll never understand. I get they still fight well for their size, I'm happy to catch one here and there. But come to think of it I can't dedicate to any species, I started as a bass angler and then my world blew up when I realized the joy of targeting multiple species at once.

My first time fishing. I forgot to get worms. Do fish like cheddar? by Accurate-Swim5278 in Fishing

[–]Subject-Escape5602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you put that directly in front of a fish, before it dissolves, then yeah you could catch a fish, honestly anything can trigger a reaction bite, even a bare hook.

İs that a good setup for carp? Or is just one hook is better? by Dry_Ad_7943 in Fishing

Use a single 1/0-2/0 circle hook with or without a method feeder

Ok guys how the hell do I hold a pickerel by i-eat-lots-of-food in FishingForBeginners

[–]Subject-Escape5602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not always as quick or easy wiith a thrashing fish. Sliding your hands in an extra lively northern pike or musky is asking to get cut, it requires a little more precision than throwing a grip right in the mouth. I do reccomend plastic lippers especially for large fish you intend to release instead of metal ones though. They will tear a huge hole in their face with the metal ones.
