little_stephen Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 so i took my girl fishing the other day at that pond i just discovered. I was trying weightless worms with lots of bites but had trouble hooking up...... but, beth(my girlfriend) on the other hand had GREAT success with bobber fishing crawlers. problem being she will only hook live bait if its minows. so i set her up, she cast, and im setting up my stuff when she hooks into a nice catfish..... and you guessed it, i had to unhook all her fish that day. and rebait her hook..... at the end of the day i hadnt caught a thing, but she got 3 good catfish, a great bluegill for that pond, and an AWESOME largemouth that gave her the best fight of her life. I honestly enjoyed watching her freak out every time that bobber disapeared more than i ever coulda had if i had caught those fish myself. she was so proud of herself. and i was really hyped when she got that bass in close and i saw that flash of silver and green instead of catfish red clay color. her she is! my baby! and the fish that gave us another great story to tell....... (dont even bother with the glove comments, she wont mess with fish unless shes wearing one. lol) Quote

mattm Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Good for her. Ouch for you. Sometimes I'm glad my wife doesn't fish. Quote
Big-O Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 great job man, you did yourself a favor by letting her catch all the fish. You have a fishin friend for life Big O Quote
joshuaryan Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 We all know you let her outfish you on purpose....right? Quote
JShrock07 Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 I took my ole lady out yesterday and all she wanted to do was stick her feet in the water i could hardly get her to throw a lure!!! Must be nice!!! ;D ;D Quote
Nate Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Hey man I know how you feel. It seem like everytime i take my girlfriend out she allways catches more. It's great at the begining but once they out fish you acouple of times it gets a little irritating. expeciilly when you change your lure and persentation to exactly what they are doing (because they some how allways pick the right colors for the right situation) and still no luck. But then finally your confidence starts building back up and you do alot better. Quote

mdmaynard Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Nice! I got outfished last night by my wife, came in at just under 5 pounds... Quote
Super User fishfordollars Posted August 1, 2008 Super User Posted August 1, 2008 I don't think I would have told that. Quote
-HAWK- Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Nice! I got outfished last night by my wife, came in at just under 5 pounds... Did you guys keep that fish? It looks dead... Quote
mdmaynard Posted August 2, 2008 Posted August 2, 2008 unfortunately the fish did die. It did not go to waste we cooked it up with some frog legs and fried potatoes. We are new to fishing and was catching keeping and eating until we started reading about catch and release, so since then we have caught and released. Not intentionally trying to offend anyone.... learning as we go. Just joined a local bassmasters club so I can hang with other fishermen and learn even more Quote

Nice fish Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted August 3, 2008 Super User Posted August 3, 2008 Keep the small ones to eat and please throw the big ones back. I guess I'm some of THOSE people. Quote
