Thought it might be fun to see how everyone would label themselves.  Tell us what category you think you fall in.

Weekender:  You love to fish but you're time on the water is limited.  You may or may not have a boat.  You may hop a pond or two now and then and you try to fish every chance you can.  You make a handful of tourneys each year but nothing too competitive.

Cluber: You get out to the lake on a regular basis.  You may or may not have a boat.  You fish a local tourney or two and you belong to a local bass club.  You consider yourself to be a decent angler but not too competitive.

Grinder:  You fish just about anytime you can.  If there's a trail somewhere you're fishing it and you're chasing a check pretty much every weekend.  You more than likely own your own boat and you'd have to admit you're an addict.  If you didn't have to make a "real" living you'd probably be on the water every day.

Pro:  You fish elite tournament events (BASS, FLW, PAA) and consider yourself a full time angler or you're a full time guide who makes their living on the water.



I'm a weekender.

Im somewhere between a cluber and a Grinder.  I have finished outside the money a few times this year and won a few times this year, but have consistently placed in or around it.

I'm a Club'er, but more relaxed about it than I used to be.  If I catch fish I am happy.  Where I place is only a matter of how well I did competing against the fish, rather than against the rest of the field.

I used to be a Grinder, even spent some time fishing Pro, 'till a few years ago when our business exploded. I get to do lots of bait testing, but my goofing off (aka non-business) fishing is done mostly during the hot summer months when business is slower. Every year I tell myself that I'm going to do a local Wednesday evening series just to get away for a bit, but every year I still don't have the time! I do deal with fishing all day every day which helps. I have a competitive streak and really miss tournament fishing at times, but I've been able to direct that energy into the bait company.

Grinder-  Like Mike, I'm trying to balance that w/ family/full time job.  

Grinder.

The last few years have been a balance of fishing and family.  Now my daughter's to an age my wife and I agreed on.  I think next year I will start trying to step it up a bit, and fish the Opens and PAA events.
And just see where it takes me.

I'd have to say I'm somewhere in between a clubber and a grinder.  I do not have as much time as I would like to fish, and sometimes the money to do it can be scarce.  I gotta quit donating so much, lol.

I guess I would consider myself as a "grinder", however I seem to facilitate more tournaments as a director verses fishing them.

I would say right now I am barely a weekender.

I need to fix the Yami.

LOL!!!!!

Till 2002 I was a pro 300 days on the water, now a grinder.Have a great job now and get to stay in the great state of Texas to do my bass fishing.

I am an advanced clubber...

I`m going to go with Grinder. I work about three days a week, and 90% of the time I`m at the lake on my days off. 

I would say at this point I am a cluber, however just bought a boat and on my way to grinder, I have a great job and happy doing the local tours.

Between a cluber and grinder

I am a Cluber. Kids get a little older and i will jump in a little deeper!

 Grinder, I would fish every day if I could. I love the competition.

Grinder,
  I like to fish as many different lakes as time allows a year.  I just love fishing. I would fish every type of fishing tournament out there if I had time.

Grinder, with no desire to travel the country to fish professionaly.

I would say that I'm in between a clubber and a grinder.

Just love to fish

Not necessarily an effective one, but definitely a grinder. 

A grinder that is stuck in a clubbers body!

Clubber for now....but I'm also competitive...I would fish everyday but work and family keeps me in check.....
