Eighty is still in my dating range She isn't 80 though. My age or maybe a little older

She likes fishing too. She mostly does the freshwater thing which is fine with me.

If this goes any further though, I'll have her hooked on the saltwater and I'll have to make her a fishing rod. The problem is, she's 5'. I figure she'll be able to handle a 9 footer or even a 10 footer though if I cut the butt (the rod's) so she'll be able to handle it. She likes how fluke taste and that's what we are targeting when she comes down. She actually is the one that said we should go fishing. Really likes the idea of catch and release. And if things go further, she wants to go on a vacation to Costa Rica and go big game fishing. Then we'll have a shot at maybe some roosterfish too! She was afraid to go big game fishing until I told her that catch and release is the preferred fishing of captains. You know, preseving their market and what have you.

The funny thing is, I can remember telling people how great fishing is and they said, "How are you ever going to get a girlfriend. You should play football or baseball." I think this is called having your cake and eating it too.
