What would you reaction be? - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

Ok lets be honest here. Lets say you are doing well with the bass and someone is just hownding you to take them along. After full and complete background check, swearing in ceremony, blindfold etcc.. you finally relent and take them along to your honey hole.

You know this spot produces good bass, you have been taking some nice ones and putting in your time! because you just know that tropy cow is right around the corner. Ok you get to the water, tell the guy where to cast and what rocks produce, you begin to fish........a half hour goes by and nothing, then your "guest" flashes his light from 30 yards away I mean this guy is really flashing!! you meander on over to see what the heck is going on? there on the beach is a fish the likes of which you have not seen in some time! its definatly over 45lbs and most likely a solid 50lber.

After the initial shock wears off in a few seconds you congradulate the guy but inside you are going crazy! you have been here for a month straight looking for that fish!!! Do you now wish you had never been so kind??

Was that fish not meant for you anyway? I can tell you from experiance this happens!

Take the poll!!

I would be happy for him......seriously
(inside I would be a little jealous) but he would be back with me again the next night. If I felt good enough to have him there with me, he must be a good friend.

This is all in fun, but I bring it up because Steve and I were talking about and I was laughing so hard I almost could not fish

He told me the hang yourself story and well you had to be there I guess. Its not that the guy isnt a "good guy" or a friend its that you have been there for a month straight , countless hours and this guy bangs the fish in 20 minutes! I would be a little puzzeled! have fun with the poll

Is this fictional? Or fact? Because if it is fact and where I think it was, who else would you even bring in there?

I would be happy for the person, a little twinged that I didn't get it but if it was truly a freind or someone managing some respect, I'd be happy for them...

No one john I would not bring anyone exept for you I guess because of the brother in law implications

But for the most part its a fun question and can relate to any number of spots I guess.

BTW, John I am going to see James Taylor tonight with leslie, steve and his girl. There is a late tide and I am going there for high water. you want to go? I will call the cell

I only plan to fish at most an hour or so of the falling water...Let me know

I'd be happy for that person. Jealousy is a female trait.

easy there timber! maybe "tweaked " is a better word, no one is going to see a 50lber on the beach and not wish for a second that it was there fish.

Lets remember boys and girls this post is for fun, lets not start a flamewar! but if you do I am ready for it, I love flamewars
