My day with Bwillaub

Got on the water out of Bucksaw around 8. Wind was blowing pretty good and the day went as usual; "Jack, put this fish in the livewell" "Yes sir" Jack, get me a beer" "Yes sir". And on and on. Bob caught a limit I caught ONE! ONE *&^%$#&^* Fish! Highlight of my day was holding on to the side of the boat with the wind blowing us around and caught my last two fingers between the boat and a tree. Now if any of you have not had this happen to you, this is what it feels like; YEEEEEOOOOOWWWWW!!! This morning they are the prettiest purple you have ever seen:( So, not only did I get front ended all day, I was compelled to fish with my right hand and I am left handed. Truly a distinct disadvantage. HOWEVER, I was not at work, it was a beautiful day, and I enjoyed WATCHING Bob catch fishRofl Thanks as usual for taking me Bob, as always I enjoyed it!:)

"front ended"? I'm getting much better at keeping the guy in the back away from anything fishable. That's called "boat control", not "front ending".:) The wind was BAD. Sorry bout your fingers, Jack. Rofl FINGERS, HANDS, ARMS, AND OTHER BODY PARTS SHOULD BE KEPT INSIDE THE BOAT WHILE MOVING. I enjoyed the morning even with the wind (and Jack) howling. Sure was glad to give the fish to a deserving family. Looking forward to the next adventure.

Hope your fingers get better. Not a good feeling when that happens. You gotta be a pretty sharp pencil to keep up with Bob, as far as being front ended, order one of those "honeymooner" double seat mounts, take it along and see if it doesn't help.

BOAT CONTROL???? Sorry I called it "front ending" Bob, I was totally unaware of the proper terminology. Thank you for setting me straight. On the way home I stopped by BPS and bought a 60ft crappie pole so in our future adventures you can boat control me all you wantRofl

A 60 ft pole just make s my head spin. If you are fishing 10' down that means you have to reel a fish out to put him in the boat. I wanna sell tickets to see this one work.

It telescopes so I can let out as much as I need to. In addition, I'm lying

You boys sure know how to make a good thread go SOUTH in a hurry. I invited Jack to fish off the front deck several times during the morning. You know what they say about "leading a horse to water". Hell, it took forever to get him to use my jigs instead of that storebought crap. You know what they say about "teaching old dogs". He's learning tho.

To set the record straight; Bob invited me several times to fish off the front deck but I did not want to crowd him. I have used the Pretty Bobs baits as well and they work better than anything store bought. Trust me, these posts are all in fun. When we fish together other than trying to catch fish, there isn't a serious bone in our bodies:)Now, lighten' up or I'll pm Slab and have you banned for causing trouble, just ask Kaz.RoflRofl

Tis all in fun. A pacifist like myself can't afford to get serious about anything other than peace, love, flowers, and my AUBURN TIGERS.

What an adventure. Always a good time with Bob. Jack you need to find a differant guide. One that is not as good at "boat control".

"Always a good time with Bob" is good enough for me. Wheather I catch fish or not, I'm just glad to be out enjoying the company, the lake and it's surroundings:)

Hey Jack I knew you were fibbing alittle about the 60 ft rod, just making some humor. Or was it your fingers getting smashed that was the tall tale or maybe that you only caught 1 fish?

Sounds like I need to meet Bob, he found fish I didn't. Have to watch out for the fingers though.

Well Jack it sounds like you had a trip you won't soon forget! From the sounds of it I hope that 60 footer is a 2 piece rod, you may need a new tip section after your ole buddy Bob displays the fine art of rod control...:)

Fingers story is true, ONE fish story unfortunately, was true. The 60 ft rod was an outright lie:)
