Bad Bait = Divorce

Eelskins in a chinese food box will piss 'em off too.

How about a five gallon bucket full of green crabs spilled in the trunk of your parents' car?

Your mom's freezer frozen rock solid with bunker/pogies ...

The crisper in your mom's refridgerator filled with a dozen eels, not known to her on the day of your sister's wedding and reception at your house when she is trying to put food in the fridge but can't ...

a trout saved in a bag that your mom accidentally put back into a cereal box and stored in the cupboard ...

... the list goes on ... granted, your mom can't divorce you, but god bless that poor woman, she experienced a lot of bait faux pas over the years ...

Especially if they put it the microwave for 2 minutes without looking in the box!

Long story about Naked #^&#^&#^&#^&y (Dadbomba) from when i was a kid.
We went out to a local stream (in back of Rappin Mikeys new house), and used a long net to catch helgramites...anyhow, #^&#^&#^&#^&y brings then home and puts them in the kitchen sink.
We go to bed, Mom's working second shift, comes home and thinks the helgramites are coming up the pipes.
Shoulda heard her scream!!! Still remember it and it was 1975 when I was 4.
Later,
Rick

A cod head (with rack still attached) used to be a common sight staring out of the freezer when I was a kid.

Sometimes you don't have the time to make fish stock right away.

i dunno, have you ever had an eel wiggle out of a pot and crawl under a seat in the wife's car?

in 90 degree August heat?

yes and it is not a pretty picture. Also had squid juice leak out on the car's carpet....Good thing that was a leased vehicle!


Goose...break down and pick up a seperate refridge and/or freezer just for bait and put it in the garage or shed. I had to a few years ago when the wife put her foot down and said..." there will be no bait in the food freezer from now on!" after the freezer went into some self defrost mode and some of the bunker chum I had in there was wafting unpleast oders on her good meats. Since then all is well, I picked up a big chest freezer and have lots of space for just about anything. They are pretty cheap.

Standing on the wharf in Edgartown and listening to my wife tell me how bad the van stunk, because of the squid juice that had been soaking in the plywood for a couple of weeks when an old guy I had been jigging up butterfish with looks at my wife and says, Miss that smell gives the vehicle character". First time I ever chatted with Ray Metcalf. I always appreciated that remark. Bev was right though it did stink, but in a good way.
