Honest question, please honest answer.....
the Ike thread has been hotter than the one about what we all do for a living.
Several have mentioned "our" fits on the water.
OK, now for the honest question, and hopefully the honest answers....
Have you ever lost your temper and threw that kind of fit on the water?
Now granted, none of us were probably fishing for $500K, but this is not Mike's first rodeo, he has fished for huge sums before.
My answer.... NO, although when I was in my teens I would lose my temper and throw those types of fits, I over came my temper by my junior year. Now that doesn't mean I don't still get mad. It just means I control it, it does not control me.
Your turn everyone.... how about it?

RE: Honest question, please honest answer.....
No, I have never let my anger take control of me like he did. Now I have cussed a ffew times though, but I have never, eer broke a piece of equipment over getting PO'd at something, especially fishing.

RE: Billy, that wasn't the question.... have you?
I have gotten pretty upset, but never have broken anything. Did use some R rated language, but when a 6 comes off at the boat who can blame you?
RE: Honest question, please honest answer.....
Have I ever lost my temper? Yup, and cussed like crazy. But I never went and broke anything. Equipment is too expensive to go pulling that.
RE: Honest question, please honest answer.....
Well I must say a few years back we had a running big fish pot that was up to about 1700 dollars and I had a fish probably in the 8 lb range on and lost him right at the boat due to some bad netting. I lost it. I cursed and threw about 150 dollar rod and reel in the lake. That fish was worth about 3200 dollars in all. So yes i have threw a tantrum on the water. Good thing I had quit drinking like I used too.
RE: Honest question, please honest answer.....
I agree with Mr. Shadrap, Ike is a joke indeed...however, the guy must be doing something right, earning a living out of fishing for a living which is what lots of us WISH we could do.
Back to the question...Nope, never have lost my temper when I'm at, on or even remotely near the water...the only thing that has made me lose my temper even briefly is when I've done something really stupid like step on a rod and breaking it when it was laying in the boat when it should have been placed in the storage compartment...
