Back in college I scored a green mesh hat from them. Cost, including shipping, was $3.99.

Added benefit: the wife hates it.

Anything with their logo on it sells like fucking crazy to the fishing folks who dont know jack shit. Tards see that logo on every pork rind chucking NASCAR fuck on his day off asshole that graces the TV on Sunday and they line up to look just like them.

Bass Pro Shops are the Wal Marts of the sporting goods world. Go in on a Saturday afternoon wearing your sandals and socks and you'll prolly get a nice discount.

The one in Broken Arrow (a Tulsa suburb) has an upscale restaurant in it. I still can't figure that one out, since most of the 'necks that seem to prefer those stores are into the flip-flop, cutoffs, wife-beater with a NASCAR-cap look.

Never been into one of those stores, but I've seen the freaks lined up outside for free fishin' demonstrations and Jimmy Houston autograph sessions, which seem to happen every weekend. No thanks. The culture is a bit more refined among the transients downtown.

Two NASCAR references in a row as it relates to Bass Pro...they're on a roll. Just wondering...does dropping a NASCAR reference in a derogatory manner give you instant board cred? Some seem to think so. I think you're loquacious, semi-illiterate punks.

Been to the original in Springfield, Missouri like way before it could be compared to Wal-Mart or before they even thought about opening another store ...but I guess the proximity to Bentonville is just too big a coincidence to safely ignore.

Rack the effort at redneckifying the rest of America because it certainly seems to be working.

Never been to a Bass Pro shop. But if it's anything like Cabelas (got one of those 40 miles away), I'm sure you get a discount if you bring your trailer court lot rent receipt.

A buddy and me made it a game to see how many nascar caps with flames on the bill we could count while in there.....I tallied 16 and he said he seen over 20. :lol:

They do have some cool mounted animal displays and the aquariums are cool, too.

It's NASCAR, dumbfuck... and you had best get with program...seeing as how you're so infatuated with it.

You're either a fan, or you're one of the clueless dumbfucks who wishes he was a fan...but is such a fucking pussy, that he thinks it cool to diss said "sport".

That about sums it up.

You got one of them there "flaming" Jimmy Johnson hats don't ya?

I'm not a Nascar fan....I'll watch the highlights the same way I watch hockey recaps on ESPN.

Sensitive much?

Hardly.

Look at the sig, ya' ignint tool.

Then again, those who hate on NASCAR are generally ignorant, so allowances must be made.

Sensitive? Not really.

Tools who rag on NASCAR just because they think that's a safe bet had best be forewarned.

Like I said....

I don't suffer fools gladly.

I'm not "ragging" on Nascar...just 80 percent of their fans. Social commentary on the fanbase is not a dig against the sport itself.

WTF is up with you? And in what way are your threatening me? Smack? Hack? or what?

Now who's sensitive?

I didn't threaten you in any way whatsoever...

Step up your game.

Bass Pro and Cabela's are the Smithsonian equivalent for Hunting and Fishing. Plenty of eye candy for those who like to kill and eat wild animals.

nascar sucks but not as much as its fans.

Bass Pro is good if you are into hunting/fishing, but their other "sporting goods" areas suck ass.

I've only been to Bass Pro down in Springfield, I haven't been to Cabela's yet. Bass Pro is the bomb. I bought some Mossy Oaks there.

Really? Cabellas was founded in 1961. Bass Pro Shops started out in 1972. Ignorant neck.

Just because one started earlier doesn't mean that they wouldn't try to emulate the other. Dickweed.

How the fuck can you be born with a penis and be anti-bass fishing?

Bunch of Zima drinking, Capri smoking, "Inside the Actor's Studio" watching, "Men are from Mars" reading, manicure having, hybrid car driving, America hating HOMOS up in this here thread! IF I SEE YOU I WILL PUNCH YOUR FAT FACES!

They're not born that way -- they choose that deviant lifestyle.

But I can see how a person could be not into bass fishing...people who grew up where there's fish that are 100 times cooler to fish for, that's how.

Hell, if the only thing that swam in my area was goldfish in an aquarium, I'd fish for them.

The goldfish are in a pond..with three BLUEGILL. Not in an aquarium. See? Now don't you feel a little stupid?

Wait. I read your post wrong. I guess that gives you some kind of 'bode because you got me to melt on accident.

YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE LAST OF ME YET, DINSDALE!

Oh, it was no accident.

I figured all I had to do was remind you that some people are lucky enough to live near the Pacific Ocean, while others aren't.

I've got a pool and a pond...pond's good for you.

So you on purpose got me to read your post about fishing for goldfish wrong? I may have underestimated you. Very clever. This round may have gone to you, Dinsdale, but I'll be back. You won't be so lucky next time.

While channel surfing, I saw something on ESPN2 or ESPN8 or ESPN99 about the PROFESSIONAL BASS FISHING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS.

And I'm thinking, some guy gets PAID to sit in a boat and catch delicious bass????

And I've got to mow the fooken lawn and go to a clarinet recital and live next to psychotic neighbors while the Bush economy kicks my 401k's ass?

DAMMIT ALL TO HELL!!

Research the GPBT of both and get back to me with those numbers before KYOA any more sufficiently than you've already managed to accomplish.

Or don't.

Just continue the normal punkass message board routine of stalking around looking for any tidbit whatsoever that you can jump on to make yourself feel important.

Or don't.

I pretty much don't care and dismiss out of hand a troll who glosses himself as "Goober McTuber"...did I just type that?

Oh well, I'll toss you a bone or two to gnaw on. Best get busy and show everyone what a studly stud you really are, Goobs.

Why don't you get busy and show how Cabelas is copycatting BPS. I've shopped both since the 1970's, and I always thought they were distinctly different. While you're at it, please explain why you think that a certified tard like "Whitey Wagon" is worth stalking.

Bass fishin is OK. Then again, sometimes it's just as much fun to just drink on the damn boat and stop for a fish fry somewhere.

A couple of years ago I had a long layover at DFW and went to this one north of the airport for an hour or so. The place was HUGE and there was all kinds of cool shit and displays in there. You can easily spend a lot of money on things you really don't need.

If you know exactly what you need for local fish and game then go for it at BPS. If not, you would be better going to a local shop where the local "pros" will tell you what gear you'll need for the area.
