See Slingah....I told you Flaptail was a Googan!

Congrats Steve.....not even an "Honorary Googan" but a full blown legit Googan....that must feel great! Keep up the mediocre work and up hold your Googan stature...it was a long time getting there and finally, finally you are being recognized for all your sub-par work!

"Ya might be a googan if"...You hold a spinning rod in your right hand with the reel on top and set the hook by pulling on the line. And other gems found on http://www.cafelocale.com/discus/mes...tml?1094512663

Gee steve I guess you'll have to start making references to Panamanian hohouses and jealous husbands in everything you write if you ever want to get over your googan status. That's the mark of a REAL surf guru!!

nah....keep it!

BB - The "Technical" term for that method of lure retreival is called: Backwinding ... It is a practice most commonly used by tourists with Honey Lamis and Penn 6500 reels on Nantucket. It is also somewhat frequently seen at the Ditch.

Now, one way to induce "Backwinding" amongst elite Tourist Anglers is to have a couple guys show up using conventional gear. With the conventional reels sitting on top of the rod, the method challenged tourist sees this and in order to prevent him or herself looking like a fool, rotates the typically Penn 6500 Spinning reel typically mounted on a Honey Lami rod 180 degrees and starts turning the handle in reverse. Sadly, this in fact seperates the unkowing tourist from the knowing tourist.

Hold the reels sideways so the googans start "sidewinding".

Every time I see that picture I laugh till' I cry. Who the F&*^ is that really Karl? I need to find that web-site. Gotta be somebody out there we can match Bassmaster too. This is way too funny.

"I'm googan in the rain, just googan in the rain, what a glorius feeling I'm googan again!" Everybody sing!!!!!!

MartinD18 · 07-27-2005, 08:55 AM

The Dog Blaster - that's too much! An award for who ever came up with that - maybe one of those pictures from the Victoria's Secret catalog that the Dog Blaster cuts out and puts in his books to "reward" the people who buy one.

yeah, repeat after me: you can't catch big fish on poppers (or bottle plugs), no one knows how to fish anymore, the cape sucks!!!
