This made me litterally ball laughing....................My wife says the exact same stuff to me. I told her once...Dear, we aren't dating and we are not going to be spending long nights together anytime soon. The guy likes to fish alot like me that is all it takes...

So you've had those precious moments with the little woman too eh? My wife has long given up trying to understand the fishing addiction, she's learned to just put up with it.

Angling transcends politics. Hell man, when a nasty tempered sow blows up on a Sammy, Barack Obama could be in the the boat with me or on Mars, and I wouldn't know the difference.

Hey Jim, I'll never forget the first time I was going fishing with someone from this site. It went something like this...

Tish, I'm going fishing this weekend with a fellow at Cumberland...

She says that's fine, who is it?

I say, he's a guy from fishin.com.

Long pause coupled with blank weird stare and then says....Have you ever met him in person before?

I say.....no but he's a great guy it will be fine..

She then proceeds into an episode of Criminal Minds and tells me I have officially lost my mind. When I left she told me she loved me and would I mind calling her when I got there and during and before I left, LOL...
It was quite funny.....

That is hilarious. Here's a true story.

We once had to go to a wedding in Buffalo, NY, so of course we took extra time to be toursists. See Niagra Falls, etc.

Part of my trip planning was to get on the net and arrange a fishing trip on Lake Erie with a local guy.

When I told her, my wife looked at me like I just buzzed in from the planet Cornholio. You're going out fishing with some guy from the internet? Don't you know about all the internet predators and terrible stuff that goes on? Aren't you afraid?

Fine Honey (that's what I call her) not many internet predators out there trolling for 40 something white guys to molest. Besides I ain't ever run across a man who could molest me, and I certainly ain't afraid to do some smallmouth fishing on Lake Erie.

She and my mother-in-law told me I was crazy and twittered away about it for hours.

Guy turned out to be as cool a yankee dude as I ever met. Excellent fisherman with a brand new Triton TR21. We absolutely hammered em on spoons and tube jigs. We fished 2.5 hours later than we promised our wives and each other we would. We kept saying just one more and we're outta here. (Sound familiar?)

When I wasn't where I was supposed to be she called me twice, and I told her we were just getting ready to leave both times. His wife called and gave him an ear full too.

Both of us wound up in trouble for being late to commitments because we couldn't stop fishing.

Some things are the same anywhere you go.

Great story, loved it and yes sounds very familiar indeed....

It knows no geographic boundaries this sickness we all have......Thank you Lord, may it never go away....

May be you should introduce some of us to her to make her feel more comfortable about it. On second thought, knowing some of us, that might have the opposite affect!

I hooked up with a young man who wasnted to go musky fishing on GRL. He was a student at louisville U, and had fished GRL before. When we met he suggested we drive to shamrock, it was a better area to fish.When we got to the area, I showed him how to work the auto pilot and told him "front seat" he couldn't believe it.I caught one so did he and he lost a good when it got into the trolling motor. We fished one more time, then I think he graduated.

I have shared a boat or bank with 6 or more folks from this site and was amazed at how close I live to a few of them. Would I fish with obama? Get back to you on that.....

[GeoFisher]

Would I fish with obama? Get back to you on that.....

His plan, policies, and ideology disgust me.............but HELL YEA, I'd fish with him.

Rule 1, don't talk politics.......
Rule 2, don't out fish the captain.

That's about IT............

I think we could handle that.

You guys are more civil than i am. Theres several people on here i wouldnt give a wooden nickel to sit in a boat with all day. I prefer to enjoy my trips and am pretty sure a few people on here dont enjoy anything.
