My rod pumped twice, I set the hook and look what I missed. (Bob didn't) Not bad for someone's first fish. 40"s long. Didn't get a girth meas.

And another one bites the dust.

I'm talking about the fisherman, not the fish. That guy is doomed.

Bruce is right, hope that guy's wife won't mind not seeing him much. Because he is going to be gone fishin'.

Nice fish.

I think Bgray means another nate goes to the plate.

That fishes eyes are down Fishnbrad!

Bob wanted to take the fish home in the worst way. I explained to him why it was better not to. He tailed the fish in the water until it swam away strong. Next time you make a comment you better find out the facts first.

fh5,

Facts? Some guys don't let a little thing like facts get in the way of accusing somebody of doing something improper. You know, shoot first....ask questions later.

Ditto, Why would he measure it if it got thumped? The dead ones get hung from the jaw and weighed...In any case, that's a beatiful fish. We'll just call it a "20-plusser".

fishhead5, I just figured by the bear hug on this fish that it was dinner, I'm glad to hear it was'nt supper Sorry if I insulted you or your friend. As for f*****g my self, if I could do that I would get to fish alot more. I hope you will accept my apology for my itchy typing finger.

Not a problem FB. The only problem was I had forgot my gloves to hold the fish.

There was no F in the word before "yourself"

As I said above:

Can we lighten up?

I was talking about the guy who caught the fish. Yes, we can see that fish doesn't have the ol deadeye. But the guy is now doomed to endless days of frozen fingers, moldy motel rooms with pockmarked floors from chalk boots, long drives to nowhere for days of rain and muddy waters, cheap beer, redneck stares, broken down trucks, etc...

And God forbid he discover any bars out near fishable waters in the middle of nowhere that for some strange reason attract lots of attractive young girls on Saturday nights. He'll never be home on weekends.

Amen to that Bruther!

Poor *******....

His wife loves it. "Please get him out of the house" she says. After you've been married as long as we have, getting out of the house is nooooo problem.

Damn Doug, you're a regular cherry-poppin' daddy.

Damn nice fish! Take mine and multiply it by 3.

I need to bring you over the products. Called the other day and left a message with the lady who answered the phone. Geeez, you need to hire some women who don't swoon so hard over "a southern gentleman."

The weather is too nice to go fishing tomorrow Doug, so work, that way I can get in touch with you....lol

What do you mean "married" as long as you have been? You know that wasn't legalised until recently. :p

Cheap beer? You better get the facts before you say something ridiculous like that. How dare you insult fishing community with statements like that.
