No, I didn't completely flip out. I was just curious if any of you have ever approached someone after seeing them land a fish, and asked "What did he hit on"? I'm sure you have. I do that a lot-just walk over and either ask or nonchalantly go over to see their fish, but instead look at the setup on their rod while they're tending to the fish. Usually people are very forthcoming with info on exactly what they're using and are very helpful. But then there's the people that don't want you to know their setup. Like the guy I seen a few weeks ago that hooked a nice fish, grossly played it way on downstream below all the other fisherman to land it (not necassary really, he had a big rod and it wasn't THAT big of a fish), then cut his line as soon as he'd got the fish whacked on the bank. Walking back upriver, with a new setup on his rod, someone asked him what he caught it on and he replied "what I've got on right now." Yeah right, the guy had on a hook with black yarn and some pencil lead on when he came back. I don't doubt the black yarn might work in the right situation, but when the guy went downriver to land his fish, he had on a yellow float with some color of jig. Never found out which color since because he stuffed it in his pocket before coming up. My question, why are some people such bangholes when it comes to sharing harmless info like that about fishin'? To be honest, a few weeks ago when I was using the pink worm and catching fish on it, I wouldn't hold it out in front of me so everybody would see it as I walked by a crowd, but if somebody did ask me what I was using, I would tell them the truth and show them, even if they laughed at me for "using such a silly thing."

Fishing, after all, is supposed to be a fun/'neighborly' sport and people like that kind of take that away.
