Reply With QuoteI guess you'd have to say I fish for fun. Given all the stupid things I do, and outrageous quirks of luck I've been having, how could this be viewed by anybody as "SERIOUS".
Really. I think its fun to freeze your tongue to the rail of a pontoon boat because a guy is too dumb to listen to the weather man when he says its gonna hit something below zero today. What could be more fun than having a 200 hp bass boat run over a $40.00 planer board, drag it 2 miles up the lake, taking $20 of fishing line, a $45 rod, and a $65 reel along with it. My sides almost split wide open from laughter the day I dropped the right side trailer tire in a grand canyon type pot hole and darn near ripped the axle out from under the rig. Getting hit by the 4 foot tugboat wave in 40 mph head winds on the Ohio River in near zero visibility fog and watching the bow head towards Australia was totally hillarious. Sleeping in my van when the old lady gets mad cause I went fishing and forgot our anniversay is one of the more amusing things I do in my life. Having $40 dollars of bait sucked out thru the house sump pump when I was using it as a make shift bait tank had me laughing so hard they called the guys in the white coats to determine if I was still personally responsible or ready to graduate to fishing bass tournaments. And I never laughed so hard the time I came in from 43 hours of "fishless" fishing, to find my trailer was towed away by the same parking lot attendant that said he recommended I park it in the back of the Allegator ramp lot. Yea, in all tehse cases, if laughtered is the best medicine, then I'm glad I get frequent flyer rewards at Walgreen's.
Yep, I just have a real blast when I go fishing. If it was anymore fun, they'd have to lock me up. Between the doctor bills, the lost equipment costs, and the cost of boat repairs, I just don't know where else to turn to have this much fun. Only way I could have more fun is if I took up nude Ginso-Knife fighting.
