Why Tim T's catch rate has gone down

Sorry Boys, he quit drinking, doesn't touch a drop now.

Been clean and sober for two months this Sunday. If you really want to be humbled, stand in front of a group of complete strangers and say "my name is Tim and I am an alcoholic." Fun times. 18-24 beers a day, seven days a week starts to wear on ya a little bit after ten years.

Btw tyme, there is one thing wrong with your photo. When Iwas drinking I would never sink my cans in the lake. I don't like litter....and you can recycle them and buy more beer.

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! My father drank like a fish for over 40 years and has been sober now for almost 10. Hardest thing he ever did. Congrats

I told ya before and I'll say it again, WAY TO GO Tim!!!!!

[Tyme2fish]

Tim, I was just funnin' with ya. I was aware you'd quit drinking alcohol and I know you'd never litter the lake bottom with trash. All in fun and congrats on a new start in your life.

My sincere apologies if I offended you.

Ok....I take back what I wrote earlier. I didn't know you were hammering 18-24 per day. That's a good amount. Heck Tim....compared to you I'm just an amateur. Congrats to ya! And you're right....18-24 per day will wear on a guy. I have a friend who came over to the house last weekend and told me he had cut down his drinking to x-amount of beers in one week that he used to drink in one day. However, he probably needs to cut it down to zero like you have done cause Wednesday night he had to call EMS to take him to the hospital due to his heart, high blood pressure, etc...

Good job Tim!

Tyme, no offense taken guy, its all in good fun. If you can't laugh at yourself you have no right to laugh at someone else is a motto I try and live by. Pretty much everything about me is fair game so hammer away.

chubminnow. They day you met me at the boat show was day number 2, so I was still in the midst of a little withdrawls, which is why I wasn't as talkative as I normally am. Like I said above, its all good.

If ya wanna know what a day was like for me here is a good example. I would wake up around 7 a.m. and on my way to make coffee I would stop and check the refrigirator and count how many beers were in there. Then I would see how much money I had and needed to make sure I had enough beer or money to buy beer, to get me through a day. If I didn't, then I would spend the next few minutes figuring up how I was going to get enough beer to get through the day. This sometimes involved taking some nice fishing tackle or hunting gear to the pawn shop until I got paid.

First beer would be somewhere between 10 a.m. and noon, but through all of that, I never missed a magazine deadline and never had any complaints about my work.

I was only kidding about what I wrote. I thought it was some inside joke and I know I bust your chops about that OTHER team in Kentucky that plays basketball but I would NEVER make fun of what you are going thru if I knew. I appologize for the joke about the boat full of beers and stuff for I was only kidding. My big mouth gets me in trouble most of the time but it is still way to big for even my size 11 1/2 and then some. Hope you stay on the wagon and keep taking it one day at a time. I know I speak for everybody on the board when I say Congrats and keep up the good work. elnut
