    Default Good day turned bad.


    Today Linda and I decided to hit a spot where we caught some bass a week or two back. I was a little windy to fish it correctly but we gave it a try anyway. By the time we pulled out of there we had 16 bass.

    We moved to a spot we had never fished before just doing a little scouting. We caught nothing there, in fact I lost there. Lost my phone that is. My daughter had called me and I was sitting there just talking to her when I looked up and saw a large wasp about 3 foot from me heading right at me in attack mode. I pull the phone away from my ear and the wasp hit my hand holding the phone. I retracted my hand so fast that the phone stayed in midair, that is for about 2 seconds and then splash. End of story. No pictures of fish or anything else for a while.

    I have lost one to a lake before too. It is hard to start over with all the contacts and pictures lost.
    If you dont have time to do it right the first time, when are you going to find time time to fix it.

    Sorry to hear that Paw-Paw. I hate wasps!
    Only need three more years before I can think like a fish.

    Hate to hear that PPG. I've always been paranoid about losing contact numbers, so every once in a while I'll write them all down (or update an existing list) on a spreadsheet and email them to myself. That way if I can't find a hard copy, I can pull the most recent version up on yahoo mail. It won't be 100%, but better than starting at 0%....

    But hey....at least you caught some fish beforehand.

    Obviously your daughter owes you a new phone. She shouldn't have called when a wasp was about to attack!
