"If I want to pick up a new man...it won't be at a fishing tournament. They only have one thing on their mind!!!!!!!!
I understand, and have heard comments, that some of the wives might not be 100% cool with their husbands being on a boat with a woman they don't know for 9 hours. This may sound harsh, but if they are that insecure, they are the type that would worry if he asked a woman where the trash bags are at the grocery store. I try to be nice, professional, and myself."
EXACTLY! It's a professional sport. We're both there for one thing... fishing. I grew up fishing with my brother, uncles and dad. Those were LONG days on the water and if we needed to pee we'd turn our heads. Change clothes? Turn our heads. It's called respect. We need to see ourselves as sisters and brothers on the water instead of pieces of mindless meat-- (but society propogates that off the water..)
I'm trying to get into a club here in San Diego, CA and it's been tough because I am a co-angler and my husband doesn't fish. He is really supportive and trusts our marriage will survive my hobby and a few tournaments. hahaha I thought the bass masters community is suppose to be a family? I guess I'll just keep looking for that kind of club...
