I could not help myself taking this picture! It always cracks me up when I see this!:rotf2:

Don't want to get my new $600 Van Staal wet, so I'll just turn it over so it's on top.:whackin:

Has anyone ever seen someone cast a spinner that way? Must be pretty awkward.:rotf2:

It was hard to watch.....you want to say something but......what can you say?:doh:

:huh: "Geeze that guy in the boat said he'd be right back a half hour ago."

"This oughta get rid of that nut job with the camera" :D

I still can't figure out how this happens. If it's his first spinning reel, then he's probable used to seeing the guides on top, but who starts convench. and then switches to spinning? His last rig must have been one of those push button jobs. Or, they are used to using their right hand to reel, and don't know that handles (ok most modern handles) are reversible?

Maybe he's fishing for terns?

maybe he is just a googan :doh:

As we all were once,.........and still are to some degree.

what looks like a reel is really a ray gun...

as he uses himself as BAIT for an exterestrial

aquatic species that is hiding on earth. :alien:

my friends reel,I am a lefty.............:claps:

Take a good look at him, he'll be holding a 50 in the fishermen:rolleyes:

"I hope people don't make fun of me because my wader strap is broken...":laugha:

"Hey - looks like someone is screwing up another commercial using fishing gear wrong"

One time my uncle was checking out my fishing gear and he grabbed my surf rod and said "now I would use it like this" as he turned the reel over to be on top of the rod.
He had never used spinning gear before, but has fished occasionally on a friend's boat and only used conventional gear, so that may explain why poeple do this. Most charters/party boats use convech gear I think.

isnt reeling backwards counterintuitive?

I bet those guys over there think I'm super cool!

LOL....

CRASH....Leptar.....both your captions are hilarious!!:rotf3:

That photographer must not know I'm an amateur. At least I look professional.

"Whaddya mean its backwards, look at all those people with the white buckets, they are doin it the same way"

"Give me a break ... I`m right handed."

I took off my wader strap 'cos

I'm too sexy for my reel , too sexy for my reel, for my reel
