Does anyone have a BASS ROOM? like a room where you have bass on the wall maybe a workshop some bass paintings hangin up ur rods and reels and all them other equipment you own ur first rod/reel on the wall articales lures? Post pics if you got 'em!
I've got one. Before I take any pictures that I'd post online, I'd need to spend an hour (or 3) cleaning it up first.
This is my fishing room.Far left is freshwater catfish/ bream gear.The middle is all my bass stuff.The bottom middle Is casting gear,and on top of that is spinning.On the right is my shelves with various boxes of artificial and hanging baits ,hooks, accessories etc.
The second pic shows the corner with my saltwater R And Rls.
The whole room is a mess right now.
I clean it up each winter.
Pics are tilted again for some reason.
Before we moved 10 years ago I had a trophy room, now our new smaller den is decorated with both of our professional awards, family and stuff from around the world. The fresh water fish mounts now live in the garage.
Photos to follow.

Don't have a bass room per se however the stairwell leading to the tackle room has been designated as "Bass Alley"
The Antzl collection adorns the walls - always looking to add to it . . .

Here's the dedicated Rebel peg borad with some catalogs and articles for years gone by.
Here's the baits I have for display:
Here's some crankbaits, jerkbaits, etc... I fish:
Some of the plastics I fish:
a few more crankbaits and jigs:
Terminal tackle and shakeyheads :
I need to get some pictures of some older baits I have hung up and my grand daddy's fishing rods which are hung on the wall. It's a confined space In the new(ish) home we bought a little over a year ago and Is still a work In progress. I don't know If this is what you're looking for Glenn but It's what I have. lol
I don't have a bass room... I do have all of my mounts in the living room, 8 lb 9 oz largemouth, 7 -12 largemouth, 9 lb 2 oz brown, 4 lb 3 oz brown, 4 lb 3 oz brook trout. I have a couple of the big checks I've won framed and some trophies including Angler of the Year I got last year. My fishing gear is also in the living room too...
I would like a 6 lb smallie to complete the collection... and a 10 lb largemouth from Maine.
Here's my room for storing and making tackle:

I would bet it's a recent move in..just saying any guy that uses his living room as his tackle room is single or with a new girl..once she gets comfortable she'll start moving that stuff to the garage.

No way. She knows how it is. Got to lay some ground rules at the time of first contact.

I know...we all said that at one time. Good luck and get familiar with throw pillows and doilies.
Sure do, It's about 1,200 sqft Still a bit unorganized but lots of pictures and plaques, lure building supplies, extra baits, rods and reels, reel boxes, old lures, a kayak, 2 boats, and the tow vehicle are all in there.

You win! Lol
My dorm is pretty much a bass room currently
Will?,..well done sir, I could only dream of my fishing gear being so organized. Kudos to ya. My shed is a mess, as I'm relegated to not getting out there so much these days. But,.. I need to get gear ready for fishing either thursday or friday so I will take some pics,.. Be prepared for a mecca of Mayhem,...lol.
Blue? Thats one heck of a garage, kudos to you as well sir. I really like the pvc rod holder idea. Clever, I have 6 berkley racks, and they are kinda tight as the rods being to close to each other, the reels bunch up and you dont really have the room for 6 rods per rack. Your idea negates this, and I like it, probably steal that idea, I may loose a few rods there, but better stacked is more important. I could put my trout,salmon/laker gear elsewhere.
Hopefully someday I can set myself up as you two have, It would make things alot easier if your collective ideas melded. Everything in its place, and boats and gear closeby.,.. good ideas there guys.
Im attempting to attach 3 pics of my shed, one is my rod racks, another is shelves in the shed most of that stuff is fishing, and another of the table I sit at and powdercoat jigheads before tying.
I do have more stuff back in peabody
hope this pic upload works
I don't have one currently, but I will eventually. Nice work to you guys that have them currently, it looks like you've all done a decent job keeping things at least semi organized! Mine will probably be a disaster zone haha.
No bass room...but I have a detached 24' x 36' garage that dedicated to fishing.

That and there is such a variety of fish to choose from, you need an entire room to store all the gear.

Maybe so, but those 90 degree days are few and far between the rest of the year,...
How u doin?
I cleaned up my fishing room. I use a spare bedroom for my hobbies.
My work desk, a gun cabinet I converted to hold my reels, and a couple of rod racks. My grandfather made the cabinet almost 70 years ago.
The other side of the room with my "Wall of Fame"
This is the walk-in closet where I store my tackle boxes and lures.

That's just cruel! True but cruel nevertheless. ; )

Yep winters are long. The bass never stop biting, even in winter.
Scott, that is a classy setup.
My high school history teacher called his garage full of bass fishing stuff "The Mecca"
My man cave is full of fishing tackle.
But since I am not crazy about having fish on the wall I must admit that all I have is a clock, mirror and some prints of freshwater fish.
I will try to remember to take a photo and post it.

Catching bass through a hole in the ice while trying to keep your rear end warm and not loose your ears due to frost bite isn't exactly my idea of "fun", VT huh ? Don't tell me your lakes don't freeze for at least 3 months.

You wouldn't have said that if you'd seen it yesterday.
My tackle room is usually pretty empty since a lot of my gear stays in the boat, but I had a fair amount of stuff inside today getting ready for Gaston this weekend. All of my awards live down here too...Since according to my wife, a living room full of fishing awards is not fashionable . I like to telework from down here when I can so I can tinker with tackle during the work day (and surf BR). It also doubles as my storage area for dive gear and gun stuff, which are not pictured...

A simple winter hat bud. never had frost bite on the ears.. also some people make shanties and have small heaters.. and ice fishing isn't just about bass ! You can catch all kinds of species including walleye and musky (I don't think you get to catch too many walleye and musky there in Mexico.
It's alot easier to keep warm than it is to keep cool. You can keep your scorching heat!! No thanks

A-Jay, im diggin the canvas prints. Ive got a few fish that ive wanted to replica mount but no good place to really display them. This however is a great idea! Where do you get the prints done? Also, third pic from the left, is a beautiful pic. Ive seen it here before and for whatever reason the angle and fish are striking! Well done.

Thank you - check out The Antzl Project on FB https://www.facebook.com/TheAntzlProject/
It's all done through there & e-mail. The O/O Kevin Washburn is a friend of my wife Lynn's. He's hooked up many a human with outrageously cool canvas prints - they come in many sizes. It's really only a matter of sending him a quality Digital pic (email) and tell him what your looking for and he'll do the rest. Prices are fair & a lot cheaper than any type of mount. Of course it's not three dimensional either. He's quite a creative guy and a few times we've send him a pic and asked him to "work something up" always pleased with the results.
Check it out.

I once had a fishing room. it was my entire house. fishing rods everywhere, fishing magazines in every corner by every chair, including the throne. tackle was strewn from one end of the kitchen to the other, with my fly vice set up on the coffee table right in front of the tv with feathers, dubbing, and fur everywhere around it. I would always have to tell people "check where you touch, sit, lean, or otherwise make contact with furniture. there will definitely be a hook there." then I got one of those things they call a "committed relationship." now I can't even have my rods displayed in the living room. they apparently do not meet the criteria for "acceptable home decoration...."
I thought you said bathroom. You probably don't want me to post my personal best.
Now thats funny right there.
Don't have a bass room, but I do have a man cave, where I build rods. The only pic I have is a nice print of a northern my brother gave me. It's not on the wall yet.
Wow, some pretty sweet rooms, I have no where near the stuff that some of you have. I'm going to show my wife some of these so she'll lay off me a bit.
Anyway here is my corner of the world, every year it seems to grow.
I have a section of my garage that has a 4' x 8' peg board loaded with everything from hooks to line and tons of Lucky Craft baits. Then I have a 5' x 6' section of steel shelving that is loaded with storage tubs of different Yamamoto baits (each tub is a different bait, Senkos, Frogs, etc).
Then I have another section of the steel shelving that is about waist high. I use the top as a work bench for cleaning reels and stuff like that. The lower shelves are loaded with plano boxes full of jigs, hard baits, terminal tackle and then there are tackle bags on it too.

I need you to give me a lesson in organization. My room is a mess!
