Can you quantify how much more the fish will bite for me this memorial day weekend?

Sunday morning 6:30am last week threw a line for about 30-40 with some sort of topwater jig off the dock/boardwalk on our property. Tossing near some hidden structure on the east side of our boardwalk under some trees and pulled a little 14-15" large mouth. Dropped my @%$@ing pliers into the water as I tried to pull the hook out. Tied my poor bastard up to a cleat and let him catch his breath in the water while I hoofed it to the shed to get another set of pliers and got the hook out and let him go. By now my coffee was gone so the pole went back into the shed. shite my story is wandering let me get to the point.

Throughout the weekend I noticed that on the really nice Bass boats that trolled by there would always be someone wearing some type of HUK fishing shirt. I'm no angler I just throw a line out on a cheap Academy store brand baitcaster rod combo with some fake rattling spinning bait someone at Academy suggested I try. Usually in the morning with coffee or with a beer at night when I'm spending the night at the lake. So to make a long story short I've never heard of HUK but I see everyone wearing their shirts while fishing. Must be something to it?

Go into Academy to pick up some 22 shorts and spotted this beauty on the clearance rack.



$20. Color matches my paddle board. Feels like a nice shirt that would give me good sun protection without being hot. What the hell I'll try it. With the high MSRP and all the anglers I see wearing them I can only guess there is some science behind the Kryptek camo pattern which must hide the human form from the fish and makes catching fish easier? Hell I bet when I'm paddling on the Kayak or board people won't be able to see my arms against the water and everyone will wonder how some armless guy is paddling a boat. Can I expect an uptick in bites on the line this weekend? There is proven angler science behind this shirt right?

You wil see an 27.635% increase in bites. Fish are really gay at heart, so the tie dye will really get them going. Just be careful and watch for the ones that jump at you while on your paddle board.

You can also stand on it, and it's bear proof. Very popular in Alaska.

Huk has the worst colors in clothing. Will not wear even if free.

Pretty late notice to get geared up, but if you can find some matching hand protectors and a face mask, you'll probably get a lot more bites. They seem to be a must have for true bass fishermen.

It was on clearance for a reason.

Agreed. And that includes these face masks that seem to be popular.


eta: and to address the op...yes, I can quantify it. Zero. But you will look like the rest of the cool kids so there's that.

Incorrect. The increase will only be 3.50%.

Be sure to put the HUK sticker on your paddle board.

People are going crazy over here bc they had some all blue ones like that on sale for $10 at academy. Once it was posted on a fishing group on FB, they cleaned em out. they were all so pumped that they got two or three of the exact same shirt (all they had was the blue) for $10 each. i was like bruh.....shits ugly right? like yall buying this to troll people on the water, right?
