That's like finding $10 on the ground. Nice one. And good job for cleaning up after those slobs. I can't stand when people wreck areas with their trash.

I actually didn’t even end up fishing I got so pissed off after cleaning up fishing line and other garbage it was bad today especially at the end of the weekend. There is so much beautiful wildlife here it angers me. I feel for the next generations they are just going to say hey mom look I caught a Modelo can! Or fishing line!

It's just such a lazy existence of so many people. I was always taught if you can take it in with you then you can take it back out with you. Part of the reason that many people even go fishing in the 1st place is to enjoy the environment/scenery. It's hard when people try to ruin it. And the worst ones are when there are garbage cans right there and they still do the same crap.

Exactly,It’s horrible!!!! The pond I go to in my town is turning into a garbage can and I’m not the only one noticing it. It’s really hard to relax when there is line and garbage strewn everywhere.

That actually is a fish catcher. Probably the 2nd most effective color of that life with black being the top IMHO. Caught a lot of fish on that color. Looks like it has some damage though

Will it work for Colorado bass? Hehe I say this because the bass out here are smaller and I had to downgrade my gear.

My wife loves scouring the banks for old fishing lures (and trash) when she comes with me. She finds some amazing crankbaits, topwaters, and jerkbaits in really good condition. Some just need replacement hooks and others are good to go. I love catching fish on these recycled lures!
