Reel him in

What a worm.

He’s just baiting you.

“WOW! You should have seen the one that got away today! Huge!

Barbless hooks are the way to go !

He looks like an old monty

He could de-bait this.

I was fishing in a channel and thought I caught a big one. I had, it was the guy across the channel. Our lines got tangled, LOL! I let him untangle them.

Where’s it say you need bait to go fishing? Granted, to catch fish you need bait, but just to go fishing, bait can be optional!:-)

great, wonder what your gonna catch with an old guy as bait?

OK, I think this old fart is ready for the home.

It was at the gas station in between the beer and sandwich doors.

Give it a hard tug now, Monty. That’ll teach him!

When we were kids, we’d sometimes go fishing without bait but were always able to find bugs or dig a few worms near the water. If all else failed there were usually a few lures in our tackle box we could use though we preferred live bait and floats (being lazy kids).

Catch and release. :)

It’s the old bait’n’switch.

Watch him he got wadders!

I was lake fishing with my brother-in-law and his brother, and we got into a school of stripers feeding, anything shiny would hook them, I was catching on every cast as so was his brother, but the BIL was getting hits but not catching. He finally got mad and threw his pole down in the boat and the lure fell right by my foot, there was no hook on it. I turned to him and stated the obvious that having a hook on his lure might help. He’ll never live that down.

Hey you kid, erm, geezer! Get off my lawn, that is, my fishin’ hole!

Cranky old worm thieves! They’re the worst!

Aren’t oldsters allowed to do and get away with anything?
