It’s finally happened…

I know the feeling. Above the lil women's vehicle in the auto garage the ceiling has fishing poles in racks. I have sold 29 rods and reels as I just bank fish these days. I'll get by though, there is still a dozen up there and 18 tackle boxes. Some have not been opened since the 80's. When I quit tourney fishing for bass in 2006 I put all the bass stuff in the attic of garage and never even looked at it since. Yep, next spring more stuff has to go. Oh I sold almost a thousand craink baits. When a new series would come out I would buy direct from the factory. Every size in each color in triplicate. I too know about an understanding wife who loved her fishing.

Did you lose your wife? If I did I would be lost!

funfisher, Yes my wife passed in 2000 to the evil cancer. A few years back I ran into a woman that we lived next door to each other all the way thru school. Her in a similar situation and I decided to give it a try. At 60 is a strange time to try and train a person, both ways. LOL. We just roll along and enjoy the company, most days. Hope I didn't babble too long.
