Bass Fishermen: The Tryhards of the Fishing World

Today, we have something a little different. This blog post is meant to be light hearted and not taken seriously. We asked Chat GPT to roast bass fishermen. In a world of Livescope hate and hate on other kinds of fishing, we want to take a moment to laugh at ourselves and the stupid things we do. Here's the roast of bass fishermen.

The Roast of Bass Fishermen

Let’s be honest—bass fishermen are a special breed. They treat fishing like it’s the Bassmaster Classic, even when they’re just out on the local pond, getting skunked. Between their overpriced gear, excessive boat electronics, and tendency to talk like they’re on an ESPN broadcast, it’s time to call them out.

The Boat Brigade 🚤💨

No one loves showing off their boat more than a bass fisherman. They’ll roll up to the launch ramp in a $70,000 rig, complete with dual Power-Poles, four sonar screens, and a trolling motor that could tow a car, only to get out-fished by some old guy in a jon boat with a Zebco. If they spent half as much time actually fishing as they do flexing their setup, they might catch something.

The Tackle Hoarders 🎣

Bass fishermen don’t carry tackle boxes—they carry mobile bait shops. Their boats are packed with hundreds of crankbaits, jigs, and soft plastics in every imaginable color, because “you never know what they’re biting.” Meanwhile, some guy on shore just caught a 5-pounder on a hot dog.

The Excuses Are Endless 🤡

Bass fishermen always have a reason why they didn’t catch anything, and it’s never their fault:

  • “The water temp is off.”
  • “The wind shifted.”
  • “They were biting yesterday.”
  • “I was fishing for big bass.”

Somehow, they’ll talk for an hour about the fish they almost caught—because nothing counts more in bass fishing than a solid ‘one that got away’ story.

The Tournament Wannabes 🏆

It doesn’t matter if they’re fishing a local derby with a $50 entry fee—bass fishermen act like they’re on live TV. They’ve got jerseys covered in sponsor logos (most of which they bought themselves), and they’ll fist-pump like they just won the Super Bowl after landing a 2-pounder. Then, at weigh-in, they’ll tell you they “had a 20-pound bag lined up, but the big ones just wouldn’t commit.” Sure, buddy.

Final Thoughts

At the end of the day, bass fishermen are dedicated, passionate, and completely ridiculous—and that’s why we love them. They take a simple sport and turn it into a science experiment, a fashion show, and a high-stakes competition all at once. So next time you see a bass fisherman staring at their sonar screen like it’s a stock market ticker, just remember: they’re probably about to tie on their 27th lure of the day.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go buy 14 new crankbaits that I definitely don’t need. 🎣🔥

Our Response

Chat GPT nailed some of these roasts. I have a couple more though. Have you ever seen our casting? We cast in so many different ways compared to other fishermen. We got pitches, flips, rolls casts, and so much more. If casting was a fashion show, we'd definitely win. I mean sheesh, we spend so much one trying to catch a little green fish that will eat a hot dog for Christ's sake. Like Chat GPT said, we take these fish so seriously that we forget what the whole purpose of fishing is. We spend $4000 on Livescope just so we can stare at a screen all day and turn fishing into a video game. 

If you think about it, lots of the hate that bass fishing gets is sometimes well deserved. That doesn't mean we're gonna stop doing it. bass fishing will forever be my favorite kind of fishing. Those little green or brown fish tend to have an indescribable effect on us, and at the end of the day, it's all worth it.
