    Default I felt outa place!!!


    I drove up (Cabelas Classic) in my little Toyota Tacoma only to be surrounded by big Z71s, Duallies, Quads, and big long boats with big growling motors. I was afraid to leave my little truck by itself surrounded by them brutes. All them big trucks had tatoos all over them. Some of the tatoos were really graphic. Big ugly fishes. All sorts of slang signs. Makes me wonder about these fishermen. Looks more like they in the sign business rather than the fishing business.

    All them fishing people had matching shirts. They wore "his and her" matching shirts and "his and his" matching shirts. (I wonder about this his and his stuff). Some of them even had matching britches. I didn't ask. I often wonder if all this sign stuff helps in catching???

    Just to share.

    I've seen "nobodies" in old levi jeans and a tee shirt show up and stage a blow-a-way win in a tournament on several occasions. All that flash and brass amounts to nothing more than ad space paid for by an overly doting sponsor.

    There's plenty of guys here I'd put my money on before I would a "pro".

    Them fellers would have been awe struck over YOU .... had you been towing your "gadget laden" fishing machine :p

    (and all that "sign stuff" does, is help pay for the gas ... to tow/run those ad wrapped boats, and the monster trucks they have to use to pull'em )

    You advertise the site.
    Purchasing the hats & shirts & decals & patches, helps financially support the site. :D
    You look good wearing them.
    And you let people know that you're a Crappie angler, & member of the best Crappie fishing website & angling community there is !! :p

    I wear my Crappie.com hat & T-shirts whenever/wherever I go fishing ... and when I "hang out" at any of the local bait shops !!

    Tom Tom Tom, Those guys are still working. HEHE
    So they have all the adds and such to help pay for there fishing. See they can't go out like we do. And Just enjoy a few hours of fishing. They have to fish the whole day and that is if the fish are bitting or not.
    But I will say one thing. I do admire them for taking the plunge and seeing how there team stacks up to the best in the country that fishes for a living.
    Pete
