Most useless fishing gift
 

OK; so all your relatives know you have a fishing passion. What's the worst fishing gift you received for Christmas. I got "The Ultimate Fishing Tool". It has a built in scale (to 18 lbs), a flashlight, a knife, a pair of scissors, and a tape measure (to 3 ft). It was a good thought, but it looks like it is not a quality item. I expect it to last about two trips before half the stuff stops working.
Don't get me wrong; I'm not ungratefull; it's just that it appears that some good money was spent on a crappy product. 5th (Marty)

Well, I can't think of anything myself but I know this one guy that got a (get this) a dip net one year...what a knee slapper it was watching that guy trying to learn how to use such a complicated piece of equipment...what a goon! :D

The singing Bass - got three of them over the years :D

Keith; I'm great with a net:rolleyes:. It's about 4 inches by 3 inches and I can dip spot out of the livewell with the best of them:D. I do however, have trouble with that last spot in a round livewell. I seem to chase him around for a while until I remember to pull the plug and drain it to give him less water to "swim" around in.
p.s. I would have eventually netted that 60 incher if Mark didn't buy his line from Kmart:eek:. 5th (Marty)

Actually, I think Mark was stealing line out of those little fishing line recycling bins you see at the docks and spooling up with those. Tried to tell me he was just adding a top shot but I know better!

How do I always get dragged into conversations between you two neanderthals!! :D

Well, the original thread subject line contained the word "useless" so it was just a natural fit to bring up your name. :cool:

Goes good with the rubber Bass hat......I have a few of them....

I can't really complain; I did ok on the fishing stuff people bought me.....a bunch of jig heads, bass assasins, Storm swim shads and a bunch of misc tackle.

My dad got me a really nice rod holder for the garage.:D


Nobody got me the new boat I wanted though.....:rolleyes:

U mean there are useless fishing gifts ?

My best one may a day without the family tomorrow....A fishing day !

Just dont know if the weather will cooperate or if there will be any dry banks to fish from !

:)

I know it's the thought that counts but I never want ANY ONE to buy me fishing or hunting stuff. It almost never works out.........Gary

duplicate post...Gary

What a hoot! :D I got one too some time back. I seems to be a right of passage.

As for nice gifts, I didn't get the 27' Grady that I asked for, but I did get a cool smoker. Smoked blues, here I come!! :)

Hey Marty can't complain here got a new 330 for that umbrella rod lol. You won't have to fight that old one anymore :D

My sister in law used to get me a gift certificate to a "sporting goods store" (code words for "gun store" :D ) but I was not very fond of that particular overpriced store. It always pained me to buy two small boxes of ammo that cost double what others were selling it for. :rolleyes:

But as I said earlier....I made out pretty good on the fishing stuff this year so WOOHOO to me. :D

Doesnt everyone have a BIG MOUTH BILLY BASS :D

Dont Worry ........... Be Happy!!

I pulled mine out a couple years ago and sold it on ebay with a bunch of other stuff gathering dust in the basement. Cant believe it actually sold....lol
