Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating - Tatoo

Tatoo --- Cheer Up

You have actually done all of us 'dog catchers' a great service!!!

On more than one occasion I have had my dog on the business end of rod and reel --- and taken some pretty severe raspberries for it!!!
AND --- here is the worse --- my dog is a Black Laborador named Lord Bass. YUP --- now ya wanna talk about taking the heat!!!!!

YES!!! the truth be known --- many a fisherperson has used his best friend to test or otherwise fine tune his gear!!!

SO --- you see Tatoo --- It is your self sacrifice that will now allow us other man/dog combinations to proceed with wild abandon

HOWEVER --- My complaint is that whenevr I take Bass to the vet --- we both get the same speech "Ya know, you could both afford to lose some weight".

Ok Ok he does weigh 112 lbs --- BUT --- just cause he's 11 and I'm "older" doesn't mean we can't still have a little 'baby fat' on us --- Besides we still have lots of fun with a tennis ball - ha ha ha

Now - if only I had the kahones for a tatoo like yours!!! My wife thinks that given my back it would look like a fish in amongst seaweed - ha ha ha
Oh well -
