the wife wore them down

of course her tackle was all wrong EXCEPT for the tiny handtie jig .
and the reel was trash and the pole way to heavy , but she is pretty good at ketchn fish .
she ketched crappie , bluegill and red ears and was into them pretty well.
did she ketch more than me , yep , but sometimes ,you just got the right jig .
one thing for certain ,she was all smiles and it was good day .
I ketched a bass .....and a crappie at that spot ...
EVEN after I cut my float down AND pinched my bait to make it smaller ...:banghead

Nice Ketchn

Well the jig is what the crappie sees.... not the rod or reel.... :Rofl Good job as always.

Nice...

Regards

So the truth comes out eh. Now we all know who has been giving you Ketchn lessons. Some nice fish there. Thanks for sharing buddy.

My wife usually out fishes me and I don't mind.

Nice day on the water, ketch. You make a good team out there, and throw mini Ketchn into the mix and watch out!:Rofl
Bob

You need to buy that lady a new pole or you afraid she’ll out ketch you ? :Rofl

Great job:ThumbsUp

Nice catches. If you're going to be out fished, it might as well be your wife!

Good catches, always fun to snag a mixed bag.

Looks like the missus put the smackdown on em. Fun day for sure.

Looks like a fun outing !

she has several , we just didn't have one she wanted to use with us , we borrowed one laying on my friends fishing pier at another spot on his place before we hit that pond .
was a broom stick with real heavy line and an old really beat down big zebco on it ....:yikes

She would have really put on a show with the Barbie rod and reel in hand.

it aint no fooling around if she if trying to ketch fish for sure , been teaching her all my little tricks and secrets for more many years and she can be right good at it.

When my wife and I first got married , she used to go fishing with me all of the time . She was my number one fishing buddy . But as time went on she lost interest.
She was competitive back then . Always trying to catch more and bigger fish than I caught.
I miss those days .
I try to get her to go now , but she won’t go .

mine does not live to ketch fish like me , but she really loves to ketch them , there are many days she says nope got other things to do .
one thing for sure though , she can hang with the hardcore ketchn crew when she hits the water most of the time :highfive

You can’t beat the famous Barbie rod. That said, the rod she was using DID look like a serious case of overkill. Talk about a fling and slinger!:yikes
Bob

Yep, that rod looks like a serious surf rod with a Zebco reel. Evidently, she don't set the hook like you, cause with that poll the fish would either be in orbit, or she would be holding the skeleton, and the meat would swimming still, LOL. Great jog, and nice fish for sure....

she actually does really set the hook hard and does it with a very definitive side arm type of thing , she bent that poor hook out several times on larger fish and lost them and had to bend it back into place more than once , i told her to go a bit easier on them as that hook couldnt handle the set up and her at the same time with a fish on the other end :yikes:Rofl
