• What is a potlicker?

In the fishing community, especially among anglers, a "potlicker" can indeed refer to someone who copies or mimics another fisherman's tactics, techniques, or spots. It implies that the individual is not putting in the effort to find their own successful fishing locations or strategies but instead relies on the success of others by imitating them. This term carries a negative connotation, suggesting a lack of originality or independence in one's fishing approach.
