What is the most bizarre object you have caught while fishing?

Captain Quantum — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 12:19:38 GMT

What is the most bizarre object you have reeled in while fishing? (not fish, but an object) Or what is the most bizarre thing that has happened on your fishing trip? For myself, last summer I was fishing for smallmouth using a rooster tail. Well, the darn thing got hooked up on the rocks so I pulled and pulled until the line snapped and I lost the lure. A couple of weeks later, I was fishing the same spot with the exact same lure as I lost before, when I hooked what I thought was a fish. Imagine my surprise as I reeled in my fish, there at the end of my lure, was the other lure I lost a few weeks prior! I caught my own lure! There is a giant underwater rock that I always cast to because it holds big fish. I must have casted perfectly and hooked my lost lure! Amazing!!! Please share your amazing stories for everyone to enjoy!

Trophy Life Member Offer Just Sent To Me...

Captain Quantum — Mon, 13 Aug 2012 12:30:22 GMT

Okay, so I was just sent the Trophy Life Member Upgrade packet in the mail. Funny how the club rarely sends out test products but it only takes them two weeks after I have paid off my Life Member dues for them to then send this to me asking for MORE money. As far as I can see its just a money grab by the NAFC. I mean, what do I even get? It says discounts on fishing gear but come on. Yeah right. That's what they said before when I was offered the Life Membership. Maybe if they offered another rod reel combo I would be on board. So fellow members, I know this topic has been discussed previously but I would like to hear everyone's opinion. Trophy Member worth it? Yay or nay!?

Can YOU Guess What Kind of Fish This Is?

Captain Quantum — Sat, 04 Aug 2012 04:24:27 GMT

Okay people. So this is a mystery fish. Not to me, but to most of you I bet it is. I want your best guesses on what species it is! And here is a hint: its not a sucker fish or a carp. So what is it!? Whoever guess correctly wins!

Fishing + Politics and Religion, don't mix!

Captain Quantum — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 18:02:46 GMT

All of us go fishing, often by ourselves and often with friends or family. My question to you all is this: have you ever entered into a heated or spirited debate with someone on issues of politics and or religion while fishing? In my experience, this has not proven to be fortuitous for the parties involved as it often leaves a dark cloud of negativity looming over the remainder of the trip, especially if you adamantly opposed one another's points of views. Even worse if you are then trapped on a boat with them for the rest of the day! I have had at least one trip ruined by such an incident and came to the conclusion that fishing and politics and religion don't always mix well. Just focus on the fish! What do you think?

What would YOU do?

Captain Quantum — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 22:45:15 GMT

I want to pose to you all a hypothetical situation: Imagine you are minding your own business when suddenly an anonymous stranger approaches you and offers you $50,000.00 but with one caveat: you must forsake and abandon your love of fishing for the rest of your life and forfeit ALL of your fishing gear forever. Which option would YOU choose?

Hostile Members: How do YOU Deal With Them?

Captain Quantum — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 08:50:29 GMT

Recently, there have been one or two members on this site (in the forums and sometimes in the chat room) that seemingly insist on instigating conflict with me it at every opportunity for no apparent reason other than their own personal, demented gratification. I can only guess as to their motives for such hostility. But my question is, how do YOU as a member deal with this kind of vitriol?

Did You Treat Yourself to Something for Christmas?

Hi all...

I normally don't buy gifts at Christmas for friends and family... as it's TRULY difficult...and I prefer a phone call and the personal interaction better than the "wrong gift" scenario

But I DO treat myself to something at Christmas...

Cabelas had sent me a Christmas catalog with a $25 off coupon good towards a $200 order

So here are the MAIN things I got...

1st...an Ambassador 6600CB...one of only 2 6000 Series Ambassadors with a "Thumbar"...

Cast muskie lures ALL DAY long and tell me this isn't a GOOD thing to have

Then I got an Abu 1276 Spincast reel...pre-loaded with 14 lb Fireline...I've read reviews of this reel where it was said that you would NOT believe how FAR you can cast with this setup...well...ME is going to find out

The last MAJOR item I got was a replica "smallmouth bass"...I have several different "fake" fishes...carved...ceramic...glass-blown...and this just seemed to fit inmy thought of having a glass topped coffee table or a "fake" aquarium with these "fish" in there...

So what did YOU get yourself???

NEW CHANGES TO THE N.A.F.C.....

Captain Quantum — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 15:40:09 GMT

Well, it is abundantly clear that The North American Fishing Club has changed their website. What do you think of the new layout? I think it is quite an improvement. It is more streamlined and easier to access the areas you want too much more quickly. Your thoughts? (And I don't know about you, but my profile picture was deleted as a result of the new "transition." It looked like everybody else's was too. Talk about a major screw up!)

I grew up on a river in Central Minnesota, and fished several there and in Wisconsin as a teenager / young adult...

I will post a few photos as I find them...

Here's one of the St. louis River in North - Central Minnesota in the fall

Why are they charging me for that?

bassfisher — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 09:00:59 GMT

My profile says I owe $10.54. I never even ordered or purchased anything. Why is it doing that?

No $$$$$, no time, but the urge to go fishing. As always, too much to do, the fun has to stay behind.

And it seems it's always the same on the BB lately. What's going on?? It appears that everybody feels the same as I, blue and unmotivated. lol Where have all the good discussion gone? Are we out of stuff?

Just wondering. No particular reason for this post, other than this is the closest thing to fishing for me right now.

I am pi***D!
