![]() Again, did I really need all this “stuff”? ![]() That didn’t include the weight of my Lew’s rod and reel combos (another 15 pounds), the spare MotorGuide (another 27 pounds) in the starboard rod box along with the anchor, and enough Vicious fishing line to spool half the field for a day. I had the equivalent of a full grown man stashed in the front of the BassCat. How much does this “stuff” weigh?” I went to get the scales, and would you believe 150 pounds? I remember thinking at the time “This is crazy. More “stuff” in the rod box on the starboard side, and more in the storage behind the seat. I counted 48 boxes of different sizes in the front three storage compartments containing various crankbaits, Zoom plastics and Jewel jigs. Have you seen the storage in a BassCat? There’s a lot of space in there, and I had mine crammed full of “stuff.” It almost made my Costa’s fly off my face in surprise. Did you hear what I said? I didn’t have room to put one more 3700 box in the front compartments. I really wasn’t paying too much attention until I wanted to add one more box of crankbaits but didn’t have room. Not a high dollar affair, by any means, just a little one day, 25 boat, couples derby that we get to fish on the rare occasion that we’re home and the schedules line up. This revelation in the world of quantum piscatorial “stuff” came as I was loading the BassCat for a weekend tournament that the wife and I were fishing. ![]() Is hauling around all this “stuff” really necessary? We have to have the right color skirt with the right color blades on every trip, whether we throw a blade or not – has to be in the boat. We can’t be caught without just the right color crankbait that runs just the right depth with just the right wiggle, now can we? All those spinnerbaits have to go along on every trip, too.
