There's things she has passion for too....and...as crazy as it might sound...being with you might be one of them.

However, I have made a few goals I think i can actually accomplish.

1. Take more pictures. I have been saying I would do this, but keep forgetting once the action gets hot or I get distracted. No one is getting younger and it will be great to look back at this stuff even at the end of the year.

2. Make every trip quality. Fish hard and enjoy it.

3. Help new people get into fish, as I was assisted greatly by others, I'd like to return the favor.

All seem doable. Hope I remember them

You do know you are in your Sophomore season, right? You know what usually happens in the sophomore year? You tank. Ask Andy

I went through this too. We were both right and both wrong. It took some time and give and take to come to something of an understanding. Be sure to kick her out of the house too so she can have some "me time". Plan in advance when you are going to go so that the night (s) on the calendar. Plan out several nights over a couple weeks and select some for fishing and select some for her.
