I am such a dum-bass :-(

[Fish Chris]

Yes, my back has been bothering the heck out of me..... but I can still stand up.

Yes, my e-mails were stacked a mile high.... but not the first time.

Yes, I had some website, and photo work that needed to be done.

But nothing I couldn't have just ignored, or put off until later though.......

The fact is, the longer this day went on, the more I could just feel it ! We are having this really weird tropical storm blowing through, and everything is all whacky ! I just know the pigs are on a total feeding binge today :-( If I don't stick one tomorrow, I'll know I missed it, and even if I do stick one, I'll feel like it was a straggler to the 5 DD's I could have caught today !

It's one thing when I miss a day like today because I have to work. But at least I can blame that on the boss ! This screw up, on the other hand, is all on me !

Urggggg ! :-(

Deep sighhhhh....

Or you could have gone and zeroed and had a motor malfunction that cost you $500.  Would have, could have, should have,....ain't no place for that with your record bud.  If anything, the big girls got the day off for some R&R for a change

You'll get 'em her when the time is right and that just wasn't today, as much as your bones tell you otherwise,...in time,......like I said in the other post,....c'mon 26

Anticipating being a witness if/when it happens makes me think of you as our Barry Bonds of fishin',....without the juice of course,lol

Thanks buddy. I hear ya'...... but I could just feel it today. More so as the day went on. Because had I woke up feeling like that, I'd have been on the water right now, no matter what !

But hey, everything happens for a reason, right ?

In fact, on that note, here's a story I hadn't told anybody until today;

A few weeks ago, I snagged one of my Huds, while fishing from the shore. Now granted, I'm doing okay on my Hud supply.... but still, I put a lot of value on every single one that I have, and I hate to lose them. So I pulled, and pulled from every angle that I could. But it just wasn't coming. So finally, I lower the rod tip, get a grip on the spool, and lean back (with however much of my 250 lbs it was going to take) and thunk... It pulls loose ! Cool ! Turns out it straightened one of the hooks on my 2/0 Owner ST 36 hooks ! Holy #$%$ ! I couldn't believe nothing broke !

So, a week or so later, I snag another Hud while fishing from shore in the same general area. Remembering my luck the week before, I figure I might get it back. I lowered the rod tip, grabbed the spool, and had just started to lean back..... when pop ! I broke the dang thing right off ! I couldn't believe it broke off with 1/4 the pressure it required to pull it free the week before !

Well heck yes I was bummed :-( I think that was a pretty new one too.

But here's the punchline to this true story. I went on a tied on a new leader, and a new Hud, with a brand new hook. A couple hours later I hooked "and landed" that 15.60 lb'er that I posted here !

Thank God I snagged that previous Hud and "easily" broke it off ! Heck, that 15.60 was worth 10 Huds to me :-)

Yes, everything certainly happens for a reason :-)

Peace.

Both :'(

I take my wife to work every day at 5:30 am; I pass within 200 yards of one lake & 50 feet of another. So I'm always dreaming if only you would go ahead and retire you dumb-bass; like this morning there's slight breeze, several boat sheds with lights that have been on all night.

My little pea brain is just racing around through every scenario :-/
