| I have been so blessed in my life. Great parents, great wife and kids, great job, and great education..
When I finally retired, I could hardly wait to spend time enjoying my favorite pastime -- bass fishing. I got my own little fishing boat and tried to get my wife to join me, but she just never liked fishing.
Finally, one day at the Bait & Tackle Shop, I got to talking to Sam the shop owner who it turned out loves bass fishing as much as I do. We quickly became fishing buddies. As I said the wife doesn't care about fishing; she not only refuses to join us she always complains that I spend too much time fishing.
A few weeks ago Sam and I had the best fishing trip ever. Not only did I catch the most beautiful bass you've ever seen, only a few minutes later Sam must have caught his twin brother! So I took a picture of Sam holding up the two nice bass that we caught and showed the picture to the wife hoping that maybe she'd get interested. Instead she says she doesn't want me to go fishing at all anymore!
And she wants me to sell the boat!
I think she just doesn't like to see me enjoying myself.
What would you do? Tell the wife to forget it and continue my hobby or quit fishing and sell the boat as she insists?
PS I have enclosed the picture of Sam showing off the bass we caught.

| To h*ll with the bass, keep the partner. Wives can be replaced, but a good fishing partner is the closest thing to god a man can ever find! |

Do you think we could get her to wear the same outfit on Petenwell next time???
If she likes bass fishing that much, i bet she'd love fishing for 'eyes.

If your Crappie is 14.5 inches, get out of the fishing racket and get into something a lot easier my friend. |

Pike sure get a bad rap sometimes in fishing circles don't they? Man, I think thier flesh is about as sweet, flakey and tasty as any fish out there.

| WE,
That is my 2nd biggest this year through the ice. And yes, they do take a bit of a bad rap. Truth is, I target them through the ice to get me through the winter, waiting for the Muskie season! And as far as taste, Yup. They are good. Specially when JoMusky makes 'em blackened! |

| I got this and thought of all you guys right away! Zach as you might know the storyline fits perfectly to my everyday life although the Bass should have been Walleyes! Anyway hope you had as much of a laugh as I did! Shep, wish I could have been with you guys on pent. We have to get together again! Is anyone going to Baydenoc yet this year? I'm thinking the weekend after Superbowl but but need to team up with some of you that may know the area and places to stay! The week after that is Minoqua then its Depere big time! I am running to the Wolf in the morning and then to Depere for the afternoon bite if good I will be back again on Sunday!
Good Luck
Tyee |

Location: Chicago IL. | We would be the talk of the town if she got into walleye fishing. I`ll bet if we said that she was showing up there would have been 200 people there. Ice storm or not!!!! HEHEHE, John |

You don't really think "she" paid for them , do you? I'd ask the guy behind the camera how much they cost.
