Mission accomplished. ‘Momma we made it. I came, I saw, I conquered. There’s nothing better than setting an astronomical goal (catching an abundant fish many people catch) and achieving it. See below for the face of a man who just engaged Gaia (Mother Earth) in a staring contest and didn’t blink:

No, I’m not referring to the popular book-game (?) “Where’s Waldo?” with the above title. But if you didn’t understand the reference from the title, Where’s Waldo is a game where you just look for this guy in a picture book:

It was my (and my brother’s) birthday this weekend and I decided to go catch me a birthday present. Knowing the Susky wouldn’t dare disappoint on such a monumentous occasion (yes I’ve had a few libations and yes I actually thought monumentous was a real word but apparently it’s not), I grabbed my favorite rod, hopped in the truck, and trekked westward to a place on the river that just so happened to also be near my favorite local brewery (see above parentheses). The goal was to catch a monster, here it is:

She’s cold, she’s mean, and she’s all I’ll ever need. The Broome County, New York portion of the Susquehenna River (Susky from here on out) would break a lesser fisherman’s spirit, but this Masshole is as stubborn and persistent as the big brown dog he owns. And I just can’t quit her, here’s why…

And I’m not afraid to admit it! You show me a big ol’ (b)ass and I’mma start sending every lure I got to try and catch (holla at) it. Some people like the stream lined look of a trout, but not me. I’m all about that (b)ass, ’bout that (b)ass no trout. And here’s why:

Getting rejected by a fish you really wanted to snag on your lure sucks. When it happens over and over again (obviously this is currently happening to me because this is another list blog), your self esteem starts to suffer. Why don’t fish want to bite? Did you do something wrong? Should you apologize? While its a tough situation, here’s some healthy and not-so-healthy options to give you the boost you need to grab that rod and try again (or at least get out of bed today).

Since I’ve started fishing I’ve ran into creatures I didn’t see nearly as often before. Here’s a few and all the knowledge you could possibly need about them (I’m assuming by now you know not to trust the latter statement):
