Maumelle Saturday 12-19-2015 (Why I am not married)

Well the dead sea was much more challenging Saturday than a couple of weeks ago....managed 16 nice keepers.....5 kentuckies that needed a ride and two big blue gill.....partner was gong to clean them and give to a couple of 80 year old aunts for Christmas.....the ladies used to dock fish on Harris Brake until a couple of years ago....

Now the marriage part...we had been on some new structure about 25 minutes....had caught 5 nice crappie fighting the wind.......partner's phone rang...."Hello...yes...I understand....yes we were just leaving to head to the dock......Love you too.".............I said...you are kidding me right....30 minutes...just 30 minutes.......He said the boat is leaving with or without you.....and I don't care if you own the boat.......

Yep my conversation back in the day would have been.......go without me...I may catch up to you....may not...depends on when the bite plays out.....she talked....and I would have said ....same to you..........

Stay dry ....enjoy the holidays and peace be with you.

Ever heard the phrase when the wife aint happy.....aint nobody happy!? True story. hahahahaha sounds like he is "helping her" Help Him" if that makes sense hahahahaha. Great catch tho!!!!!

My wife knows better...and anybody I fish with better know better. Nice fish bass cat and have a good holiday's.

Well, when you first get married you carry her in the front door and then carry her out the backdoor and when she ask why you did that, well that's the way your butt came in and that's the way it's going out.

Take her with ya.Next a Red Ranger (its safer and dryer ride)Next her on pink (bubble Gum) ozark(let her catch some),Next she wants a lake house,Next she wants a House on the lake next to the water and a party barge.HAPPY,HAPPY,HAPPY. Nice catch,nice report.Really enjoy fishing Maumelle.

Cheaper to rent em ...:twocents

Better be serious for me to leave biting fish . Looks like some good ones . My friend Jerry has a saying ""Happy wife , Happy Life '':biggrin

Where along the way did men become so soft . It clearly says in the Bible men should be the leaders in their home . Guess I was blessed with wife that understands me pretty well and has tolerated me for 24 years . She has figured out when I go fishing I will be back after dark .

Not soft bro. You can be "man of the house" and make your wife feel special. Im not saying catering to every beckon call, but she shouldn't feel like fishing trumps her....... even if it does hahahaha.

Very well said!! DP

Looks like the dead sea is coughing up a few bones, nice fish. I've been married 35 years this coming Sunday and have only had one situation of any semblance. And my wife was right in that situation and I should have seen it and avoided the conflict in the first place, but it was still pretty embarrassing. However, I might add that there is probably more to it than it appears to be on the surface. And if that's the case, it could be that it takes more of a man to do right by his wife than by his friend. The Bible also says that a man should love his wife as Christ loved the Church and gave his life for it. It also says that there is no greater love than a man who lays down his life for a friend. She might be a better friend.:biggrin

Yes... but you better be using the right rubber jig when fishing strange new holes or fishing holes with allot of pressure...Failure to do so could result in catching the wrong fish, or you may even get bit by something you don't really want to get bit by. If your big crappie star bound it's a long hard ride.:biggrin

I was giving him a hard time LOL.. I agree a Man should love his wife more than himself and wouldn't be much of a husband and man if he didn't .

And I thought he was talking about renting a boat.:Rofl

Next time you take your buddy fishin , rule number one, turn cell phone off and leave off until fishing trip is over!!!! [emoji12]I'm like faithfull archer , glad I got a good wife that allows me to enjoy the things that I love to do and has put up with my huntin and fishin for 22 yrs

Don't get me wrong guys, I love crappie fishing as much as anybody. I tie my own jigs and am going to start building my own poles soon. But for me to put any relationship much less my wife before a fish will never happen. God has blessed me with a godly wife. If you treat her right and spend quality time with her, fishing wont be an issue.

Nice catch from the Dead Sea. Looks purdy alive to me.
