Hmmm,
I remember a few years back taking long walk on the advise of a RI resident and getting into some good fish. Told that person there were good fish there and he should make the walk it was about two nights latter I got a call about a 53lb fish. When your 1-1/2 to 2 hrs from RI and you know the fish are there and can't be there every night until the big fish leave well...I hated that guy.....

It happens to me fairly often on my boat. I bring someone along and they catch the fish of the day. I'm happy for them.
|
ditto.
Interesting observation I have made over the years....surfcasters tend to want to best fish for themselves, because they have to work SO HARD to find a spot, the right tackle, right conditions (temp, moon, wind), etc. Boat fishermen tend to like to see others catch that nice keeper, becasue they know they can go out fishing anytime they want to chase fish. In fact, as a boat owner, I PREFER that the best fish be caught by one of my guests -- especially if he/she is a youngster or someone who rarely fishes.
Just my observation. |

Now this is a question for the more analytical on this board...for me there are a lot of variables...
There are a very few spots that are my get alone and at peace places. These spots go out to no one, they are for me and my piece of mind. No offense to my closest fishin partners, just sometimes one needs a place all to themself.
Then there are the year to year consistant one's that I rely on. These places do get shared with my closest fishin partners. Ususally this is in some regular type of reciprocity. I call so and so and he calls me and we exchange info and call each other in when the bite is on. In this case I would be very happy for the friend that scored large after I called him in. No doubt I would have feelings, but the truth is I would be happy for this level of fishin friend.
Now, in the next scenario that goes through my mind, I would be off the hook. Working a new spot or maybe a known spot but happen to get into a run of fish. Bring another fisherman that I know but is not in my "inside circle" and they sore large. I would be out of my mind with resentment and jealously. I hope that I would keep it to myself or be funny about it but damn...it would hurt.

Returned favors appreciated. If I can't be there to catch them somebody has to. Haven't had fishing there like that year since. I fish with a guy often and it's kind of a team thing sometimes he gets the good fish sometimes I get the good fish as long as we are catching. But a 50lb fish I would be smiling on the outside and crying on the inside.

On the boat, i would be psyched for him. I seem to be taking friends out this summer and I do no fishing at all, and for some reason i enjoy it.
In the surf I would be jealous.

It has happened to me a few times.....I was genuinely happy for the lucky SOB but naturally quite envious. I took many photos of them with their catch and made them feel good about their moment...because that is what I would want if I was fortunate enough to land a large.  I believe one day I will have my moment...that there is a trophy with my name on it and I would want my fishing buddies to be happy for me....not angry because they did not catch it. Good Karma....goooood Karma! |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!
