Got the reel into a tangled mess.

How does a guy in his late 50s not know better?

Also, bama sucks.

Why didn't you show him how to switch the crank handle to the other side?

Bama fans would hold the string from the other end and cast the entire rod and reel backwards. They dumb bruh.

Unfortunately that WAS on the golf course, trying to retrieve his seven iron he threw in the pond.

Houston friend


Is this really surprising? Ha…

When I grew up in small town South Texas, the Houston baws were the ones wearing cowboy hats with a big splat of bird feathers in front, like they had hit some poor bird while riding a motorcycle…

People in my small town were not even allowed to wear cowboy hats unless their family had a ranch with actual cattle, or they actually did rodeo…

Your city friend might be a good dude, but he obviously has no country baw skills…

How do you freak up a spin cast reel?

That's a special kind of retard.


They also have bait cast reels with chips in them to prevent back lash.

The aggie way would be to set the trotlines and check em after checking each other's oil for a few hours.

People say this way is the only way to hold a reel …. You hold it how you feel comfortable holding it. Like holding fork pencil your taught a certain way but when it’s all said and done your going to do it the way you want to do it . For those who say you can’t frick up a spinning rod obviously haven’t fished much .

That is me. I don't really find fishing fun or relaxing. The only thing I will do is cast, and then shoot the shite with somebody while drinking. If I catch anything, great. If not, no big deal
