DTro Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Dude, I'll gladly throw on a visor and pick up a couple of wacky worms for a day out in the BassCat. We should have a combined contest sometime. We could call it the Bass/Cat Classic. Guys could fish for Bass during the day and Cats at night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll go about a buck twenty five if I strap the 250 merc racing jet on it We can race as is from Mankato to St. Peter in august if you want.

PierBridge Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Can an ABU 7000 Baitcaster be used for Bass Fishing or would one have to use those pretty looking minny baitcasters I see so often on TV. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanson Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 The Q I have is... Can a Bass fisherman fish if no one is watching? I gotta bump this one! What a great quote! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.W.Wolfram Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Top ten reasons why Cattin is better than Bassin:5. Mike Iaconelli The Happy Gillmore of bass fishing, this guy is great.If only we had a personality like that for cat fishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanson Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I tell you what... I like Iaconelli. Yes I said it. His show "City Limits Fishing" on Versus is pretty cool. Fishing rivers in the heart of major Cities, oftentimes during very bad frontal/seasonal/tidal conditions... what is there not to like about this? I wish he came up and did a show on P1 or P2, hook him up with Fisher Dave maybe, could you imagine the smallies that would end up in that boat! Well, could you imagine Ike & FD sharing a boat together? That would be something to see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordie Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 My personal favorite reason that cattin is better than bass fishin is I know that a bass anit eaten no 50 lb flathead unlike...... another one would be that cafish have really cool names Flatheads Channel Blue then on the other side largemouth bass smallmouth bass rockbass whitebass stripebass all the names of the bass end in the same three letters and you cant post that on this site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
