I fished with Gil Guilletone for the better part of 20 years till he passed on. Gil and I never had the competion thing. It was as it is with Bryan and I. We are a team. If I need help landing a fish, he's there for me. If he needs a hand, I reel in put my rod down and lend a hand. That's they way it should be. We don't necessarily fish next to each other all the time. But when we do, that's the way it is.
Paul,
same way i am with my fishing partners

If the guy next to me hooks up and says its large, I immediately put my rod down and billy goat over to him to land the fish
it or vice versa

a good laugh is had when the fish is only 15 # and kicks the *(#@ out of you......theres usually some good old fashion busting involved

to put it plain and simple....you fish with your friends, not for competition but for the commradery, memories that I will take to the grave with me
