your wife , girlfreind or daughter

And maybe if you knew my friend and his wife, you'd see my side of the story as well.

That is fair. I understand.

But also understand that when you have a wife and a child like myself its almost impossible to fish just as much as I spend time with them. Not healthy. Now if your single or just dating than obviously that doesn't come into effect and its hard to see the point I'm trying to make.

i dont have any kids yet (thank god) or a wife (thank god) but my female friends always ask to go but they dont do anything they just talk so after the third time of taking them with me and my buddy i banned them from coming becuase they always ask to leave right when we get in the middle of the lake and then make a big deal when we stay a long time. If i could find a woman that loves to fish it would make me a very happy man.

Here is the PERFECT "girl that doesn't fish" trip:

Last spring my partner and I took my daughter white bass fishing. We began with about a ten mile boat ride and then proceeded to catch a HUNDRED or so, white bass. My partner and I hooked them and handed our rod(s) to my daughter to "fight". After awhile she decided to take a break and sunbathe.

We fished for a few hours and went back in, stopped for lunch and got back home in plenty of time for her to get ready for Saturday night. Just a delightful day.

I've got it pretty sweet, I will be the first to admit.

In re: to chris and rolo in particular, I understand the balance that you guys are talking about and think that I have found it. When I ask her if she wants to go, she ALWAYS says yes. When I tell her that I am going fishing, she never asks to go. And as far as I can tell, she doesn't resent me for not inviting her.

Brannus can attest,  she is pretty much the best girlfriend ever

Also when we fish together, she is COMPLETELY self sufficient and will choose her own baits (usually logically too) and KEEP QUIET! The only time that she might cause distraction for me is when it is hot and sunny and there aren't many boats around, she acts like it is the french riviera A quick trip to the bottom of the boat, and I'm back in business, LOL!

I'm getting to the point that I prefer to fish alone, or with guys that are better than me. I am most efficient and get more bites when I am alone, and when I am with someone who is a better stick, I have a chance to learn and get new perspectives on the conditions.

Then there are my other buddies, like brandon, who i just take along to run the net and camera for me ;D ;D ;D jk buddy!

Oh and my mom will fish too, here is a 55lb Ling cod out of resurrection bay a couple years ago, thing was a toad.

p.s. suggestive comments about the gf, are appreciated, about mom, they're not, LOL ;D

You look like your mom 4Biz.  I'll bet you and your girlfriend look like my wife and me.  I am 6'3" and she is 4'11".   She hasn't been acused of being my daughter ....yet.  She couldn't go to see a movie one time with me because she didn't have her I.D. and the movie was R rated.  She was 22 at the time.  I laughed so hard my stomach hurt.   ;D

[fourbizz]

yep, 6'8" and 5'4". whenever we are at the mall, I aske her if she needs anything from GAP Kids.  ;D

6'8" !!!! My God man, big ol' feller ain't ya? Now I know the reason for a 8'6" swimbait rod. I would hate to be on the receiving end of a hookset from you.

i cant stop laughing LOL

Fourbizzle you might want to save a little bait money for a ring.

Sorry to say there are none in my life. I wish I had taken the time to teach my daughter and spent more time in the outdoors with her. Now she lives so far away that I see her very little. She married about a year ago to a fine young man that had a father that played 7 or 8 years  with the Celtics and she spends most holidays in the Boston area. I know it will come up so I will tell you the boys father is Steve Kuberski. His family had about 80 people at their wedding and I got to spend quite a bit of time with Steve and his wife Dianne. They are great people. All of you Boston people are very lucky to have had a player like Steve to represent you and your city. They are great people.

Don't be fooled!!!  He's kind of a wuss.

And it's dink slayer to you 4biz!!

i have a girlfriend that loves it as much or possiby more than me  she can fish on back of boat and fish all day even if nothing biting just doesn't give up

[Handy]

My daughter always wanted to go when I went but the older she gets the more I get the "na I'll stay home". She will be 13 in December. She loved to go buy lures, baited her own hooks(live bait), took her fish off unless it was really deep hooked and for the most part would fish the whole time and not complain. So I guess I can't complain. As for the wife part, she can't say anything as we are divorced. I can buy all the gear I can afford(key word here is "afford") and no evil stares. My mother used to fish with my dad once in a while when they were younger. I bet she would still go if he asked her to when he went. My friends wife goes with him allot to fish and they do enjoy the time together so good for them. My brothers wife fished with us on our family vacation up in northern Minnesota and had a good time. So I do know a few women that fish but none that have the bug like I do. I would like to meet a woman that liked to fish but wouldn't have to go with every time as I do enjoy fishing alone.

[t bend tex]

My wife is my fishing partner about 95% of my trips- other times it is kids, grandkids, etc.

sHe hates spinning/spin cast gear, loves bait casting gear.

She will out-fish me about 50% of our trips- but someone has to run the troll motor-- and that's me!

I do not take her fish off the hook, but do net for her.

Last  trip out, I had to get a hook out of her finger- push it thru and cut the barb.  Put a band-aid on the wound, and kept fishing.   She fussed about ruining her lure and getting blood on the boat!

Her biggest liability:   can hang-up her lure as much as anyone I have ever fished with! ! !

[Branuss04]

I gotta say man, I enjoy giving you sh**, you can give it and take it. HAHAHAHA.  Way to keep the women happy buddy.
