"All good though."

"Personally, I'm happy.,,"

"...but what do I care?"

"I totally understand."

"...make these guys use their brain..."

"I mean it's really not a big deal..."

"The angling advise doesn't as much bother me..."

"Honestly, though I get it."

"I don't care...honestly I don't."

For someone who doesn't care, Mr Snoop doth protest too much.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here.  I think your in bad need of a 20" Smallie.

Nope. Took care of that two Sundays ago. But yeah, I do need another one.

They tend to be a lot more tight lipped on the weekends though

 

Mind sharing where you caught it and the lure? Thanks in advance.

I'm a bit tight lipped when it comes to winter areas, but I couldn't care less about telling people where I caught fish and what I caught them on in the warm months. It seems like I have to figure a new pattern every time I go out anyways so I stopped worrying about somebody else knowing how I caught fish on a certain day. Heck, I even started recording myself on GoPro and making videos so everybody could see exactly how and where I caught my fish. You wouldn't believe how many people I talked to that said they tried the same thing and couldn't catch much at all. People seem to think that once something works once, that's all you ever need to catch fish. They don't take in to account time of day, river conditions, etc. I get a kick out of it.

Catching 20 inchers in the winter on topwater and doesn't post any pictures to back it up...... sounds like a good fish story! Probably best though. The super genius smallmouth anglers on this forum would probably have the location triangulated and figured out in short order and then ruin the fishery!

Seth- Everything you stated was true. I think I saw one of your videos and you were on bigger water. Most of my fishing is on smaller to medium size water where fish aren't used to boats zooming over their heads and there is too much water to get a bait around the majority of fish. 

But if your fishing a wading stream or small to medium sized float stream and someone is fishing ahead of you, well, I'm not going to say you can't still catch some fish, but it's probably not worth your time. Which is no one's fault (even though in this thread I kind of chose to blame it on Al. lol). But still very frustrating when you don't get to fish as much as you like and then your day kind of gets ruined by factors out of your control, such as other stream traffic.

 I think that's the difference between most of us river guys and the tournament lake guys. We go fishing to get AWAY from people. I would almost rather see an otter when I go on the river than a person... well, that might be a little extreme

Those were on the Gasconade. I'm not sure what bodies of water you fish, but I can see where you are coming from. Aside from the occasional Bourbeuse River float, I usually fish the Meramec, Gasconade and Osage where you can cover a lot of water in a jet boat.
