Somebody Get The Hose Im On Fire/A Darn Good Woman and a ButterFly/Chicken story

Hey Guys meet my wife, Now besides being the queen of my Doublewide there are two things I want you to notice. First she is cleaning fish, Second is she is doing it in her own kitchen. Now in my book thats a darn good woman LOL. Really she is the love of my life who kicks my butt every time she fishes with me. :o

About three weeks ago Me and and ole Air Force Buddy were floating the Little Red trout fishing. When I looked on my left knee and noticed a butterfly had landed on it. It just sit there for the longest time while I fished.
Well after we caught our limit of trout we said good bye, loaded the boat, and we went our seperate ways, and I forgot all about the butterfly I witnessed on my knee. After I got home from the trip I pulled my life jacket out of the back seat of the truck and you'll never believe what was resting on the Life Jacket. (The same darn butterfly) in perfect shape. Keep in mind I first saw the butterfly about two hours before I quit fishing that day and somehow it stayed on my life jacket when I transferred it from the boat to my truck without me seeing it. When I arrived home I was very excited and showed my wife the butterfly and telling her the story about it, She was also very excited and said HONEY!!! this chicken showed up from knowwhere and layed a fresh egg on our porch and still shows up just about everyday and lays an egg. Now as a fisherman I took this as a SIGN and over the years I have had butterflys land on me and I can't explain it, but I just catch the heck out of some fish when this happen's. All I can remember thinking is WOW I need to get fishing, with all these lucky rural country signs popping up all over the place. (LOL) The moral of this story is, IF you have a butterfly land on you and a chicken suddenly shows up on your porch and starts laying egg's, you better get out there and start fishing. I have been catching the Fire out of fish, right here at my doorstep since this happened LOL. God Bless...

Oh ya the one's in the pic were caught just yesterday morning.:D

Good mess of fish. My wife will fish every chance offered and loves to duck hunt too but one thing is absolutely for certain, there will be no cleanin done in the house. Cool that the layin hen.

Reckon her luck will run out if she stops laying?:confused: Could there be a pot o dumplins in the future when that happens? lol lol:D

Gotcha 'bout 1/2 of a gallon ice cream bucket full there I see...:D

Hey CP,

Dang nice fish!:D Same MO as last week?:confused: Tried that this morning with not much luck. Pretty brisk wind early made a lot of noise slapping the boat. Couldn't slip up on'em.:( Congrats on the fish, the great woman and loved the story.

Tight lines!

LOL Now dont feel too bad Ski, Must just be my lucky butterfly N Chickin Cos Midsouth came out to my fishing hole busted his trolling motor, DP came out and saw fish caught. Ill let you guess which of us were catching the fish. I've been trying my very best to put people onto these fish and have been encoraging folks to bring thier own boats cos anybody who has ever verticle jigged Cypress trees know the man in the back seat is at a serious disadvantage when doing this type of fishing. I have even showed folks what im using and exally where im catching em. LOL guess im down to just taking you all out in my boat, pulling up to a tree and showing you where to drop your jigs in.:p

Congrats on the catch. I dont know how you guys get the wives to clean the catch though.:confused: Mine cooks it AFTER it's cleaned and in a pan.:rolleyes: I cant complain though. I pretty much hunt and fish ANYTIME I want to and there's never any complaining. I dont believe I'd EVER have found another woman that would have put up with me all those years.:o:)

Good post Crappie Pro. I always enjoy the read and the pics you provide. Then in-laws don't crappie fish that much, but they've still been wearing out the bream on Conway, so it ain't over yet.

A butterfly and a chicken may be involved in catching those slabs, but I've seen your fish in the past, and I have to think a little skill may be involved also;)
As far as the wife, when you get a good one, keep her. Tomorrow I'll have kept the same one 27 years.

Looking forward to the hand-shake next time I'm down.

CP,

Where can I get me one of those butterflys and one of those chickens?

Ski

Good reading, Thanks. I also would like one of them butterflies to bring me good luck too...

Hey CP, you must be talking about me the vertical jigger...Anyways, I'm headed to conway this weekend.

So basically, launch anywhere, find a bunch of cypress, have chicken and butterfly in the boat, and jig right? :)

I'm thinking Adam's landing.

I guess that means that Peckerwood ain't right? Wish I could help you on Conway this weekend but you'll have to talk to CP about that. He's smokin'em!:D

Yep. Waiting for more rain, and I'm thinking CP needs a little help. Looks like his fishing arm is getting weak and needs to rest it for a while. ;) I'll do my best to follow in his shoes..

Ski, just let me know if I need to pick you up.

RCC, no way ya'll have been married that long...you are getting old.:p

Congrats and hope ya'll have another 27 that keep gettin better.


Russ, do you think a preserved butterfly and a frozen chicken will help? Got those at the house:D

If that will work, you can start selling packages that will help your fishing. I'm in for the first batch of "lucky" fish catching kits.

After seeing the forecast last night, I was thinking more like pin the butterfly to my hat and sit on the frozen chicken. When it thaws, sprinkle it with salt and pepper and throw it on the boat deck. Gotta remember to take some tongs to flip it though...:D

Wow is all I can say. All my years of fishing and have never seen a women cleaning fish! :eek: I have a good wife and if I had two broke arms she might clean some fish, naw she still wouldn't clean them. Nice fish you been catching CP.

LOL Guys she can fillet with the best of em, she comes out during deer season and helps me clean my kills, but she puts her foot down and will have no part of gutting a deer. I remember bringing home a deer and gutting it when we first got together. She acted all tough and puffy and said (Awww It's just a lil blood n guts). You-All should have seen the look on her face when I opened that big ole does stomach while she helped hold the deers legs apart. She just let go of the animals leg, bent over, started running around gagging all over the place, yelling I cant do it HONEY!!! , I CAN'T DO IT!!! LOL makes me laugh to this day.:D

I'm laughing now. :D Know some grown men that do that also.:eek:

The Air Force moved me from Little Rock in 1978, I still have Conway and Greers withdrawals!

Yup CP, back when we was first married the wife held legs while I gutted a couple. She would always loose her lunch, so lost my leg holder real quick. Heck fire she wouldn't even help with the ones she killed. But she's still a great gal, she's put up with me and at least she tried.:)

There may be something to this chicken butterfly thing. My wife and I were walking back to the cabin Saturday and she said look at that white chicken up in the yard, and sure enough there was one there. After that, she proceeded to kick my tail fishing. I bet she was holding out on me on the butterfly.:D

That darn chicken disappeared on my 50th birth day I sure do miss her and all the fresh eggs she layed. I remember my angel was complaining about that chicken and having to clean up chick'in crap all over the porch., but I cant remember if I had chicken dinner on my 50th...funny thing is my wife can't either. and gets real quite when I bring up that chicken. HMMM makes me wonder.

:Rofl

Yall got to quit digging up CP's old stories. I thought you had found another butterfly and chicken. I remember this story well. I wasn't catching anything on Greer's about this time. Then I could hear a rooster way off in the distance and the crappie started tearing my Bandits up. I still get chills thinking about it.
Proves we had plenty of BS before RCC and BRM too.

Yes this is true. I can't speak for BRM, but I suppose you did have plenty of BIG SLABS before I got here. For all who don't know, BS=Big Slabs. It's crappie people talk for all you lurkers and non-fishers out there.
