Nice quiz do however disagree that a bass metabilism is slower in the fall while cold water slows them down,cooling water brings the fall schooling action on and much of it is at a mid sixties water temp, a bass is most active at 64F.Below that it slows and eventually the schooling is at or below that temp then disperses soon after the feeding frenzy,seems like around 50-52 f but just a guess.That last part they would be slower but certainly not the first when slamming topwater baits like water volleyball.

Fun quiz, I only got 16/20 correct but I learned a few new facts from those wrong answers. You learn more from your mistakes after all!

4 wrong
8, 5, 10, 13,

All my braid floats so I'm asking the judges for a Mulligan on that question.

Thanks Woody!

Now the problem is finding a new excuse for not finding/catching fish....lack of knowledge just may not hold water now.

Now no laughing but that 'cloudy with a chance of meatballs', that's a joke right? There isn't some terminology that I'm missing is there?

Like the one about using a Rip Bait on the leaves....hmmmm Also, had no idea about using a buzzbait in snowing conditions. Just don't get that out here. Should have went with first choice....like my teachers use to say. Now I just have to find some snowing conditions somewhere to see if this really works. Love the topwater bite.....not the thought of freezing by toosh off.

Worst day of Fishing is my Best Day Off!!!!!!!

Missed 4 as well including the buzz bait/cold weather one....And I thought smallies would be more aggressive in the colder water?...Disadvantages of them not being closer

Yeah I missed the smallies in cool water too. I got the buzzbait one because I once caught bass on back to back casts with a buzzbait during a snow storm lol.

Clark Reehm says,"Braid is better than either fluorocarbon or MONO for top water fishing......"

See even Pros disagree sometimes.
Just sharing.
