Chance to wet a line

Have not had much of a chance to go lately:(, so I was at our property and future home site and wife decided to come over and fish a little, when I finished up some tractor work we both got to fish:ThumbsUp a little and while we caught quite a few fish most were about 1/2 the size of the one pictured below:dono, Adding a few bass to help with the "over-population" we had a lot less action from the nibblers, I put 10 10-12" bass in the pond and it seems to have really helped:ThumbsUp

That’s a pretty shellcracker!
Wish I could get my wife to fish with me again sometimes .
She fished a lot when we first got married but once our daughter was born , she gradually stopped going .
Daughter’s forty , I think it’s time for her to start back . :)

Nice catch. Those bass should help keep them in check.

Beautiful fish there. It’s always nice when one’s better half joins in on the catching. Thanks for sharing with us

Good looking cracker and a happy wife, don’t get much better. A few of those and dinner just started looking better.

Definitely a nice one

Very nice looking pond and setup. Best wishes.
Bob

Mine went through a little "lull" I believe it was too much bass fishing, she love(s)(ed) that too, especially a good topwater bite, but she hated fishing a Jig, and I'm a flipper:dono, but I think she is more into catchin, one hot day in September the stripe were going crazy, and the bass were SLOWWWW, so I asked her if she wanted to have some fun, pulled out a couple of silver buddy's and we went to town, she asked what the limit was and we'd been "boxing them up" so I counted them up and we liked two fish having a limit, we did this several afternoons, and I realized, I was taking the Bass fishing a little to seriously fishing 8 days a week and tournaments like 2-5 a week, then we started panfishing, catfishing, and chasin rabbits instead of deer all the time, we really enjoy those things now, they are simple, w/o all the "extra stuff that came into play if you're trying to stay in the bass fishing game, I still like to bass fish and deer hunt, but 90% of my fishing is panfish, and the deer hunting is all archery,:ThumbsUp

I hope you can get the Misses back into it:pray, to tell you the truth, I get more joy watching her or the Grandkids when they catch a good oneJumping Jacks Icon

Nice, redeared sunfish, m.t.! I'm same, happy the wife still fishes once in a while, but our only daughter gone cold turkey on us. Ever since she turned 12 she'd rather catch Pokémon on the Go...lol.

Y’all are lucky that your wives go long. Over 40 years together and mine has been in my boat less than ten times, fear of the water. She won’t tell me no but stays home. Still wouldn’t trade her.

LV, we have one Grandaughter that discovered "boys" and fishing takes a backseat now:donoand I imagine that won't change till she meets a guy who likes to fish, I can tell she is still somewhat interested cause she is always inquisitive when we get home:)

Skeeter that is a tough one, and mine always says her least favorite part especially the tournament stuff is the boat ride:pray the thing with the wife is that she has never Questioned or limited the time I spent in the woods or on the water, as long as the other junk was taken care of, which works great for me, she has always said "you hit the ground running" and I don't watch TV, I have always been on the go, working on junk or out enjoying the outdoors, You'll never hear me complain about the cold, been to Canada on a few Deer Hunts, but when it gets HOT!:Fire, I can only take off so much clothing till people start complaining or I go to jail :yikesnonono

Nice fish.

Regards
