I know most of the people on here know what a googan is, but for those that don't, when you are on the pier and people are calling you a googan they are saying you are a noob that doesn't know what you are doing or what to do. Like adam. Ha

well everyones a noob when they start. Googans are the type of people with bad attitudes and dont try listening to people and get in everyones way.
dont forget they think they know everything there is to fishin because they GOOGLED IT
If you have to ask then a picture of one is in your mirror ;-)
Lol
There's a bit of a 'Googan' in all of us.
As much in a seasoned fisher who says "screw the rules and screw you" as a noob who is complacent in their ignorance of how their actions affect others.
Remember the golden rule ;-)
Well said my friend, there are many who consider themselves fishermen, but really fit the descriptions posted!Quote:

This is a googan!
All this time I've been thinking those were Sheepshead, I'm googanized!Quote:

I laid my rod down without loosening the drag to untangle my net rope when he decided to steal it from me. Two young bucks came out on the pier about an hour later and one of them waded out and retrieved my rod with the fish still on the line. I gave them the fish after getting a pic with it.Quote:

But seriously a googan to me is someone who thinks they know everything about fishing, tells everyone how much but is doing the total opposite. Doesn't take any advice or tips from people trying to help him/her. They dont want to learn and end up just frustrating themselves and everyone around them. Also anyone (in my opinion) that uses an Alabama rig or a gotcha tipped with shrimp or squid. Drives me nuts
... as in uses the (soon to be patented)
Alabama Gotcha Redbead Rig ;-)

LOL!
It'd be a pretty good battle if you could get 3 nice spanish on at the same time on that though. Just looks dangerous
