I know quite a few regulars who do that quite often and refuse to move their lazy a$$ down the rail.

AMEN

By golly you got that right OPP. That's why I said googanism is defined by attitude not skill level

Googan = dead shrimp and cut ballyhoo on a planer, fished with a penn international,off the pier

[font=comic sans ms][size=12pt]I am glad that I had a good attitude when threw the top end of my 2 pc Ugly Stik out with the bait, otherwise I might be a Googan.

Here are a few pics that might be the result of Googanism.
No fingers were lost in these tangles

Watcha for the Gotcha! Beware of side arm Gotcha throwers.
This is Beau after he went to the hospital and they said it would be about a 3 hour wait to get it removed. He came back, fished for a while and went back to get it removed on the way home.

who did that? ???

True story. I saw it myself. Guy set up off the west side.

Here's a googan John G story. Last spring during a hot king bite I casted dead on top of a float like it was a target,reeled it in fast causing a fine mess. Well the person I casted on was using braid and I was pissed off and grumbling about the mess and expressing my dislike for braid as I was trying to get it untangled. I finally cut my line,cut the braid fussing the whole time and when I finally looked up,it was Pescador that I had thrown on. Talking about wanting to crawl into a hole,I insulted one of the most respected fishers on the pier. Bottom line is,we all have our googan moments,some of us just hide them better.
