Sword of the Lord Posted September 16, 2017 Posted September 16, 2017 My wife saw me fishing a whopper plopper for the first time today. Her response? "Oh that's so cute, listen to it!" and now she wants one. Because it's cute. My boy said under his breath "It's a killer, not cute" 13 1 Quote

Sometimes I'd almost prefer it that way. It's my job to tie every knot, every lure, deal with every snag, unhook every fish...sometimes to the point of not really having time for myself. But then when I do get time it's endless chatter about absolutely nothing. 6 minutes ago, riverbasser said: "What are you guna catch with that stupid thing" - almost any lure that isn't a worm "What are you doing?

No kidding hun, you just put a piece of metal through its mouth and now you're pulling it through water, and it didn't even get a meal. 1 3 Quote
Super User Catt Posted September 17, 2017 Super User Posted September 17, 2017 My wife doesn't fish but has her own tackle box of cute lures! 3 8 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted September 17, 2017 Super User Posted September 17, 2017 My wife loves to get out on the water with me and does so whenever her health will allow. Some of her favorites are To me ~ "You need to go fishing" and "See ya when I see ya" As I'm leaving ~ "Don't call me" When she does fish . . .After a misplaced cast ~ "Fish it like you meant it" When a fish jumps & throws her bait ~ "She Spit me !"

SWVABass Posted September 17, 2017 Posted September 17, 2017 My wife likes to tell me how she's going to lay a beat down on me. She also says those fancy lures and rods don't help you, and proceeds to catch a decent fish on a beetle spin and her trout rod. Smh 7 Quote
Ksam1234 Posted September 17, 2017 Posted September 17, 2017 My fiancé loves to fish as well but she is a huge huge animal lover. She usually only uses worms and when she catches a fish and doesn't get the worm she will literally feed the fish a worm haha. And say "here ya go fishy you deserve it " or she makes fun of the whopper plopper calling it " whopper pooper" 5 2 Quote
jbmaine Posted September 17, 2017 Posted September 17, 2017 My wife loves being with me on the water, but has tendonitis in both hands and arms, so has almost no strength to use a fishing rod. When she does, she can only use a spincast setup and weightless Senko. Her casts are mostly lobs that fall somewhere around where she was aiming. When she hooks a fish I have to reel it in for her. Because of this she has said a couple of things I have heard over and over. The first is whenever we are close to shore I will often hear " honey, I'm stuck in a tree", often before I can make one cast. The second is when she hooks a fish, as I am reeling it in, I will hear her say " Wow, that's cool, I wasn't even aiming over there". She did this last fall and hooked a 7.1 LM. I got it in the boat after around a five min. fight. Nobody will ever convince me Zebcos can't do the job. Jim 6 Quote
volzfan59 Posted September 17, 2017 Posted September 17, 2017 Here are some quotes from my bride of 32 years as of 9/14/2017. You'd think that she'd know better by now, "Isn't 21 rods and reels enough?" "Why do you have three spare reels?" " But their new." "Why do you keep bringing home lures, don't you have enough by now?" I work part time at BPS. It's all silly talk to me. 5 3 Quote
Sword of the Lord Posted September 17, 2017 Author Posted September 17, 2017 I won the rod, reel and line setups for different lures. Just bring up attire and makeup. Women need specific shoes for specific outfits, shirt to go with pants, color of makeup to go with outfit, etc etc. So I brought that up one day that each outfit requires different things. Just like each bait requires a different setup. Right tool for the right job. She understood. She was never really mad about it, just lacked understanding because for her a rod and reel should be able to fish anything. 1 Quote
frosty Posted September 17, 2017 Posted September 17, 2017 "You're crazy, there's no fish in here big enough to eat that" I think I'd get kicked out if I quoted her tonight. She stood behind and to the right of me, well she wasn't happy when I hooked her jeans with my chatterbait... 4 1 Quote

She stood behind and to the right of me, well she wasn't happy when I hooked her jeans with my chatterbait... I didn't know what the hell my wife was doing a few weeks back, but she stood directly behind me I was getting ready to cast. I stopped and moved over. She moved over too. Ok... I moved over again. So did she, again right behind me. I finally turned and asked her what the hell??? Are you trying to get hooked? She was using me as a sunblocker... 3 9 Quote

MichaelCopeland Posted September 17, 2017 Posted September 17, 2017 The things I hear most from my girlfriend of 3 years are: "Do you really need to get more fishing stuff?" - when I purchase even one bait, pack of hooks, weights etc. When she wants to go fishing and asks me where I wanna go and I tell her she says "I don't wanna go there" and I'll ask her "Why did you ask me then? When she just takes me somewhere to go fishing but isn't gonna fish herself it seems like every cast I make she'll say "Honey I just saw a big one over there, you need to cast over there." Today we went fishing stopped to get breakfast on the way. When we got there I was done eating so I got out and proceeded to make some casts. My second cast I caught one. She got a pic and she finished her breakfast. I continued casting when she says "Honey I gotta go to the bathroom." Bathroom is in the back of the lake in the recreation area. I told her to go ahead then. She says "I don't wanna go by myself." So I loaded up my rod and went with her. There's lots of other things she says when it comes to me fishing as much as I do but that would take a while to list them all...lol. ? 3 Quote

You're right she wants me to say that, but she still doesn't really know where she wants to go when I say that to her. It's a no win situation...lol! ? 1 Quote
BuzzHudson19c Posted September 17, 2017 Posted September 17, 2017 My wife asks me how I did when I get back and then listens to my stories with forced interest. It's almost like when a 10 year old hits a home run in little league and comes home to tell his mother. She doesn't really care, but shes happy that I'm happy. I ask her to fish all the time but she only goes maybe once a year. Me "When we first got together you said you like to fish." Her "I do, every once in a while. But you want to go everyday! 4 2 Quote

My wife is very much the same about both my fishing and my golf. Maybe marginally more interest in my golf, since we do play 9 holes together about one morning a week. Quote
Super User scaleface Posted September 17, 2017 Super User Posted September 17, 2017 My wife doesnt fish but I could write a chapter on her wifeism's and she could do the same with me . My favorite, as we were traveling out west Me "I wonder if porcupines are nocturnal?" Her "No , they are land animals ." 5 4 Quote
