If you own a bass boat and you’ve ever stopped at a gas station, convenience store or rest stop, you’ve gotten “the questions.”
I believe it’s important to be a good representative of the fishing community. People who make these inquiries mean well, they just don’t know any better, so if you can’t avoid being snarky, get the t-shirt. If you really don’t want to interact, perhaps incorporate the Q&A into the wrap on your boat.
Don Wirth and the late Cliff Shelby would have had a field day cartooning the modern bass boat.


For many of us, the Improved Clinch Knot was the first one we learned. Some of us still use it. It may not test stronger than some other, but it’s remarkably easy to tie correctly. You can improve your chances of landing big fish to the boat with the Double Clinch Knot.
