  1. When I fish a lake I divide the lake in two sections horizontally. The upper decction extends from the surface to ~8'.

    The second section from ~8' to the bottom but no more than 28'.

    Lures that are fished from the surface to about 8' are typically retrieved horizontally.

    Deeper than 8', I used lures that are mostly fished vertically.

    Fish like large & smallmouth bass, walleye, & pike caught in 28'+ water can suffer barotrauma and die.

  5. When a largemouth bass eats something the size of a frog, it opens its maw nearly as big around as its own head, and takes it in a single sweeping gulping swallow. The frog is floating quietly in the sunlight one second, swallowed whole by an unseen predator the next. A fisherman naturally loves to see this, but when you stop and think about it, it's sort of horrifying.

  14. A novelist I know once told me that lately he'd been confronting his own mortality. Later that summer another writer friend said, "Aw, hell. He's been saying that for 20 years." Still there it is staring you in the face, either at a distance or up close and the one inscription you don't want carved on your tombstone is , "The poor son of a bitch didn't fish enough."

  18. What's the difference between a large pizza and a fishing guide?

    A large pizza can feed a family.

    After losing my first Rapala (sinking) after just three casts last week, I finally got a new little floating Rapala 🤩 Here’s hoping it lasts more than 10 casts 🙄

  27. In some places the great tradition of shore lunch still survives. This is when you take a long enough break at noon to build a fire and grill fresh fish from the water they were caught, along with canned beans and fried potatoes and, if you get fancy, biscuits baked in a Dutch oven. This usually happens in far flung regions that are so lousy with fish that being able to keep a few for lunch is a foregone conclusion.

  41. I still have my father's old tackle box just as he left it the last time he went fishing nearly a half century ago. I take it down from the pantry shelf & open it every few years for sentimental reasons. This is now done as a private observance, because in the past, I've shown it to collectors who all said it was a damn shame that the potentially valuable old lures weren't in mint condition in their original boxes but had actually been *fished*.

  45. I've always been a sucker for all the paraphernalia that bogs down the sport. Even as a boy the fishermen I admired weren't necessarily the ones who caught the most fish but the ones with the biggest and best stocked tackle boxes-tray after tray of brightly colored plugs and stylized scales or frog spots and the blankly staring eyes of cartoon characters.
