My girlfriend...

[DitchPanda]

Is such a nerd. Watching a video the other day BLat was throwing a plopper she asks Is that one of those whipper flippers? I responding by saying I'm not sure what that is. The things she says kill me sometimes. Maybe why I love her so much...never a dull moment.

Edit: now she claims she said walker flopper..as if that's better somehow

My wife was in the boat with me the other day laying out getting her tan on I suppose. I caught a small one, unhooked it and tossed it back in. She immediately snapped at me: "Sit down" she said. I said "Say what?" She responded "That's a 2 minute penalty" LOL. I'm not sure how long she had been waiting to say that, but it caught me off guard.

That's great!

My boys call them "whopper fwoppers". They both like watching me fish them, because they like the sound they make and when a fish eats them.

When I got sucked into the whopper plopper hype a few years ago when they first came out, I bought 3 because Dick's was having a buy 2, get 1 free sale.  My wife said "are you sure you need three of them?  Maybe you just buy one and see if it works before you buy another one."  I told it would work, guaranteed.  Well here I am several years later and she'll sometimes ask me "how are those ploppers working" because she knows I don't catch anything on them.  Shoulda listened to her and just bought one.  Won't make that mistake again with a new lure.

LOL.. I've been saying that for 40 years.

"Your Raging Paws are all over the counter!!"

[roadwarrior]

I am NEVER doing to buy another hard lure until I fish what I already own.

The stuff I bought last week or is on the way doesn't count.

Stuff that you buy on sale shouldn't count either.

My wife calls all my baits "jiggers"

She'll ask how my morning was and what kind of jigger did I catch them on

Not sure where she got that from...

[DaubsNU1]

This. Is. GOLD!

[Bankbeater]

My wife is usually still asleep when I leave to go fishing.  One morning, while she was still half asleep, she says don't come home until you've caught one on a jig.  Around 3 PM my wife calls wondering where I am and when I will be home.

I told her what she said, but she didn't remember any of it.

[Log Catcher]

My wife has come home and found a note telling her I was called away on an emergency fishing trip.

[islandbass]

On the contrary, she’s not a nerd. If she pronounced it correctly, then she would be a nerd. ???

These made me laugh out loud because it's pretty close to reality here.

[Siebert Outdoors]

When we first started building jigs. Okeechobee was known as Okedobee.    Now its a joke on that color when we need it built.

I am pretty sure my wife would do this to me constantly if I actually caught more fish!!!  haha

My ex wife once asked me for the phone number for 1-800-Contacts

 

(Think about it...)

My wife has tendonitis in both hands and arms, so can only use a spincast setup. She is also hearing impaired and blind in one eye, but more often than not she will out fish me just using a swim senko ( that's all she uses).  When we are shopping for fishing stuff her big concern worrying we didn't buy enough. I think I lucked out.

You got a good one for sure.

When my wife and I were dating, I introduced her to bass fishing and took her out in my aluminum boat a few times.  When I asked her if she wanted to go again, she said, "I don't think so".

 

I thought, "Okay....here we go..."

 

And then she said, "I like fishing with you, but if we're going to do this more often, you're going to need to get a bigger boat.  There's not enough room and storage for me in your boat."

 

I went ring shopping the next day.  LOL

The conversation with my queen went similar, except we were at the boat show, and her requirement was a toilet onboard.  She found a nice 25' bay boat with one that will work nicely for fishing, lol.  I bought her her a ring, too.

My wife lets me do what I want. "There's a sale on this pole hon."  "Oh good, you gonna get it?"

 

I've got that going for me and here I am...  a minimalist.

 

We both have 'lifetime licenses'. She usually goes along for the ride if the weather is good but never at 5 am.
