Bumps are the fishes way of saying "close but no cigar".
But on the other hand.....
Bumps from Rockweed or any other free floating or afixed marine flora do not count.
Bumps cannot be shared
Bumps are meant to be personal
Bumps mean you got the right idea at the wrong time
Bumps have yet to be proven as being fish they maybe be crustacea or gelatinous
Bumps are reminders that no matter how good you are the fish know better
Bumps are frustrating
Bumps are bumps. period

Why even try.........

Bumps also could be tail wacks and a short pause could get couple a hook ups. but also frustrating

Bumps are like a dropped pass in football. They don't count. like flap said, keep it to yourself. they let you know there are fish in the area so it's a good thing but does not make a good night, you need to actually catch them not just get action by bumps.

Bigfish obviously does not jig the canal, or he would know that Whacks are what the fish do to your jig at times in the big ditch, they do NOT bump a jig in the canal, they whack it. This year for some strange reason we seem to be getting many hits while not hooking up, maybe we need the full moon or something.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

So if it was the Who, Led Zep, Kinks, Stones, Floyd, Van Halen, and Ozzy then - and you still listen to it today. Does that mean todays 20 year old will be listening to Justin Timberlake in 20 years
