Nailed it.
I’m trying to consume media more like a trout - go for the pretty, well made presentation that floats above me. But in practice I’m more like a bass - attack the flashy, splashy, stupid thing that annoys me. Or maybe more like a channel cat - eating dogshit and spoiled liver off of a rusty hook laying in the mud.One of the top rules for maximum engagement in today's social media: Have a controversial opinion even if you don't actually believe it.
Agreed. I think it's because fishing is fun. Even if you're doing it out of a float tube. Is it more fun out of a boat, sure? But it's still fun fishing in a float tube.On this one, he's not wrong. But I still enjoy fishing out of my float tube.
spreading your personal petty hate isn't enough to make me watch your rant.
Some time back on another forum some bead fishing spey bro referred to us older steelheaders as "geriatric Skagit swingers"Not taking one's self too seriously seems to be a lost art.
I didn't watch the video and I understand it is perhaps a parody, perhaps it's time for a little humor? I too love my float tube. The Fat Cat's inflated now, out of winter storage, back pack straps buckled on: Thursday it gets floated. Tomorrow I'm floating (@Josh -"Floating devices are compromises") my Spring Creek Classic pram and trying to decide what boat filling gear to haul.I absolutely love float tube fishing.
Amen! Well stated. The compromise at my house is I don't have the right boat for every fishery I enjoy nor do I have the room to store them. ;-)I mean, float tubes DO have annoyances. Some of which he accurately lists in the video. But so do kayaks and prams and bass boats. They all have their advantages too.
You just gotta pick which advantage is most helpful and disadvantage is least annoying for your specific situation. I don't take my kayak on a 3 mile hike and I don't use my float tube in the big lake with wakeboard boats racing around me and a mile of water I need to cover before I get to the spot I want to fish.
