Pretty sure i am a real angler. how could you not enjoy the explosion caused my a live mouse getting gulped of the surface by a big ol bucket. Or any topwater action for that matter. If that doesn't excite you then I dont know what will. You must fish with a flyrod... No offense eggs, bigsteel, lilsalmon, OTF, GD, ninja. I've caught fish out of state without a liscen with a stick some parking look rats nest line a rusty hook i found along the shore and some cantelope for bait it dont get any more real than that.
