The straw that finally broke the camel's back with me was when my partners (more than twice) just happened to forget to bring any food, drinks, or gas money but were more than happy to share mine with me. You folks who know me know I'll give the shirt off my back to help someone but after feeling taken advantage of several times, I swore the club deal off.
Note: we always drew for partners rather than fishing with a buddy all the time.
