first thing your gonna have to learn now that your joining the ranks of the married, look ahead at the long range forecast and pick your battles. cloudy, rainy, 10 mph SW night on the sept. full? - you can do chores the day before or after when the moon is bright.
john, did you weight it in??
hopefully we hang on for second, unless somebody is keeping something really big under wraps, i'd say that's the best we can hopefore - and we have redlite to thank for even allowing us to put up a respectable finish this year. |

So True. Or, get her something to so out of the house 2 nights a week in off season, oh I dunno, Stitch-n-Bitch, Karate, 18th Century Poets Female Reading Club or something.

Yeh, we would need a blitz of 40s top pull this off. I think there were a few but might not be enough.
Big Props to Redlite for putting a lot of us on his back

Although the marriage puts a small crimp in the fishing...its when the kids arrive that throws the monkey wrench into it
Wifeys are usually pretty understanding....until you head out the door whistling a happy tune while she's stuck at home tending to Diaper Duty and the 4 am feeding.
The way we worked it in my house was she gives me 6 months (May through October) and I give her 6 months.....Once November 1 arrives I pack it up till next year. Works pretty well, she doesn't say boo to me when I go during my 6 months.....then again too my kids are older now
The secret is how I managed to convince her that Smelt fishing, Ice Fishing and Trout season don't count 
Stich-n-Bitch  ....thats a classic |

Nothing hauled that would have changed the total.
We would had to havee boated a 50 to make that happen,
Didnt get that far, nobody seemed to be hitting anything large.

Well, I gave it hell like never before in my life the past few nites. 11 hours of sleep since 9am weds morn. My hands look like I tried to give a chain saw a hand job. Hurts just typing. Would make any man wince. Had more 30# fish than I care to think about and lost an absolute SUPER cow last night that would have done it for me . Just wasn't in the cards. Best could manage was a few around 38#'s.
Was an incredible run that I doubt i will ever top in my life. Great times with some great friends.
As for 40#ers, I have caught them in the past, had just been since 2002 since the last one from shore.
I am takin a week off, sleeping for most of it, and hopin for a few congagal visits with the wife. Haven't seen her in a week.
A great run and effort by everyone that fished for the team.
The fall run is just gettin goin. Everyone still has a chance at the fish of a lifetime.
Best to all.....over and out.
