I wish that was my garage...

I have been in bait shops before that did not have nearly the number of baits/lures that he has.

I would really have a hard time picking what to take with you each time. Must be nice to get most of it for free, I imagine....

My Mom used to count my fishing rods to see if I bought more!! ;D So I got married and moved out!!! ;D :D :o

I think BPS hasn't started their southern platnum nuculur program yet philbilly (skeeterman). Hang in there!!! Only a matter of time before you get the big invite!!!

I wanted to take a LOT of my tackle to Mexico... but you know how much all that stuff weighs!!! So the plane doesn't have to make a water landing, I'm trying hard to cut back as we type.

IF you put all that in a HUGE bag that is about what Cheetam brings along.  although he did get a smaller bag last fall.   :D ;D :D

I had to get a smaller bag, I felt bad when your ranger couldn't get up on plane.

MY GOD! And my old lady thinks i'm bad!

That's got to be years and years worth of collecting.

I can only dream of something like that in my future.

Nothing else to do so I went out in the garage and removed all that tackle and put just what I needed in the boat. I graduated to LC Pointers so I stuck all the Smithwicks and Bomber jerkbaits in the house. Labeled it all,gave a friends kid some lipless rattling whatever color baits I don't use and made room for some Great Lakes Perch tubes. I carry an anchor and might get rid of that thing.

I know for sure I don't have enough tackle!!  But I'm of the belief that you can NEVER have enough tackle!!!

I'm working on it.  Built a real garage to replace the overgrown shed I was tired of painting.  I'm taking my time to keep the costs down, but I'm gonna have the man cave.   ;)

I've reached the point where I'm really trying to only store baits I know work and are worth keeping, and extra supplies of those I use regularly.  So I'm planning a storage area with peg board and slotted shelves to fit planos.  Rod racks high on the wall too.

Antler plaqes along the ceiling.  Fridge & cable too.

I'm never gonna want to come in the house... ;D
