Bulldogs are depicted as bullies or mean guard dogs in the media. These tropes dominated in 1940s via cartoons by Warner and MGM. Animators exaggerated a bulldog's snout, teeth to look like tusks, and jowls. Bulldogs are not naturally vicious as media perpetuates. This reputation stems from when they were trained to fight bulls for bullbaiting, an English sport, from 13th century through early 19th century. The term "bulldog" originates from the aforementioned sport.

This popular dog breed are typically easygoing, courageous, and friendly. They represent sports teams as a mascot of 39 American universities and as a symbol of England. The first animal mascot in any sport was Handsome Dan, a bulldog, at Yale University. The British used to call English Bulldogs, "Churchill Dogs", because they both emulated England's strength and courage. However, Prime Minister Winston Churchill did not own any bulldogs personally. Two American presidents owned bulldogs, Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge. Harding's dog, Oh Boy, received the title "First Dog" since he lived with his owner at the White House.

Jigging is the practice of fishing with a jig, a type of fishing lure. A jig consists of a lead sinker with a hook molded into it (as illustrated in the image above letter J). The jig is often covered by a soft body or rubber worm to attract fish. Jigs are intended to create a jerky, vertical motion while casting and reeling, as opposed to spinnerbaits which move through the water horizontally.

One technique for using a jig while fishing is called stroking the jig, or placing the jig throughout the bottom of the water column moving up to just a few feet off the bottom. Stroking is meant to cover more water at a faster speed. Fishing this method uses strong, quick motion popping the fishing rod and jig up and down mimicking a wounded fish or sea creature. This technique is popular in bass fishing.
