Your gear alone = the price of your fiberglass bass boat.
Buying 40 lucky crafts seems reasonable but you cant even think of fixing your tow rig so its brakes work and rely on the trailer brakes cause your boat and trailer cost more than your truck and house combined.

Nick_Barr reply :
Playmaker, I also did atleast 3 papers on bass fishing throughout the year, luckily my teachers husband, my PE teacher, hunts and is a salmon fisherman, So she sorta understood where i am coming from. Last Summer i took washington state history to get an extra high school credit for when i am a freshmen, i had to take it in middle school this year, since i knew everything and only needed to pass because it did not count towards HS at all. I sat and read bassmaster and a bunch of other magazines the whole time for the year and still got an A. I Love Harry N Charlie!!!! I even had a crankbait as a handle for a couple zippers on my backpack
