By the time I had quit fishing I had accumulated a staggering amount of gear. I had enough rods that when gathered up in a bundle over a foot in diameter and reals to go on all of them. I had everything from ultralight trout and crappie rigs to 12 foot surf rods. Fly rods from 4 weight to 12 weight. Deep sea boat rods and reals. At least a dozen tackle boxes. When I moved I sold almost all of it to a dealer for only $400. I don't even want to think about how much money I had spent over the years on it all. I still have a nice collection of Abu 5000 series baitcasters including the very first one I ever bought as a teenager.
Don’t think I’ll justify a boat ever unless I move. Living 2hrs away from any decent water is a kicker.
Yes, boats are nice, I've had a couple of them, they're holes in the water you throw funds into.
It's nice to throw out a few string of jugs for cats then get up into coves with old trees still standing for crappie n bass.
It's fun too solemn ski through the jugs when you're done fishing crappie and bass.
Gets dark, go camp site on shore, camp fire, clean fish, throw baited lines in water for cats, go back out few times through the night to check jugs.
Shit it's fun to ski in the moon light to after checking jugs, pulling cats off, rebaiting hooks.

Now that is something I have looked into a little bit.
Plenty of people up here have boats but whether they use them or not is a different story.
Kinda the same here. I got pretty deep in the custom rods and ended up having 3 or 4 built for various techniques. Never would I have ever thought I'd pay that much for a rod...
Then the JDM Shimano's with all the parts from Japan in them.
FAAAAKKKKKKK
Where did you catch that? I’ve caught a few that size in Oregon.
Up here in Guymon. It’s stocked trout at our city lake.
I have accumulated maybe a thousand dollars in poles and reels and gear over my adult life, but I legit hadn't fished since 2009 when my dad died. I just kept buying.
When we went to see Big Boy in Durant, I had the opportunity to fish in the exact same hole I grew up fishing, cut into the floor of the same boat dock.
I tried every new fangled modern lure and line and technique available to me, and not a nibble for two days and nights.
I went over and dug out my dad's old rod and reel, which I had to remove 3 mud dauber nests off of. The line was trash, the hook was rusted, most of the paint had worn off the lure. But I gave it a shot. It was his last left handed setup and I'm a rightie, so I was holding it upside down, but within a matter of minutes I caught two stripers. Sometimes the old ways work best.
Prob $75 in rod and reel from 2008, and some lures that Durant Walmart still sells for like $1.69 for a six pack (had to go get a fishing license).
I brought that pole back home with me, cus it was obvious that no one else had touched it.
Catch and release, cus my wife won't cook fish. Ha.

Yeah. They really do unfortunately. Especially with the warmer weather we have been having
