This is spawn off from My Favorite TV Show. What does your wife say when you are watching fishing and hunting shows, ALL THE TIME. In my case, last night I was at the dinner table (reading the sports page), and I told her the Sonics we on TV, she started channel surfing to find it and found a deer hunting show, I heard them talking on the show and said the hunting show was even better than the Sonics, her words were: "we're not going to watch it, you watch fishing and hunting shows all the time, now you want to watch it and you aren't even in here" (but I could at least here it). So, what do you here around home?

This is the one I here from my girlfriend all the time:

"It's funny how when you talk to me on the telephone you always keep or conversations short because you say "you don't like to talk on the phone", but when a fishing buddy calls you, the two of you can talk fishing for an easy half an hour at a time!"

Ohy vay! eek

Since my GF watches far more TV than I do I just throw it out there that I hardly ever watch TV and that solves the problem. Hope she never factors in actual fishing time, surfing the web for fishing stuff, talking about fishing etc.

I watch hunting on the bigscreen and she says notta. If she wants to watch something else she can go fight my 4 year old daughter for the other tv.

When my wife wants to watch TV snuggled up to me she watches what I want, or what we want. If something comes on I want to see and she doesn't, like Monster Garage or something, I go in the other room and she freezes. If it happens to be Monday Night Football, I get the big screen and the surround sound and she goes in the other room! All about compromise my friend, all about compromise!! beer beer beer

My wife is pretty cool about hunting tv shows and videos as she hunts. She seldom comments on the fishing shows either, but the phone calls can set her off.......

As a matter of fact my brother called me this morning (Fri) at 6 am to see if I could get him current flow rates and to tell me of his success the previous evening. Even though I was up and about my wife was not too happy. She said it was too early in the morning to be talking about fishing.

Should of seen here when I told her I was considering takin the day off to fish.....

i dont have a wife, but when i watch hunting fishing, or football she hates it. she always comes with; "lets watch something we both like." so everytime, i go through all the channels, when she sees one that she likes, i just say i dont like them, and go back just in time for the kill shot

I tell her I can stay home and watch it, or I can spend money and time and go and do it.

Geez.. I feel like I am revealing something to one of those 12 step groups..

"Hi my name is Kaari, I'm a girl, and I watch hunting & fishing shows even when men aren't around."

Hunting with Hank is my favorite, even though they hunt mainly preserves.

(Crimine sakes.. Sparks is messing with my signature.. helped me with my avatar and took it upon himself to change it..)

CFM,

Darn tootin'. And you'll notice from the pic, she gets the neo chest waders and I get the knee highs. But then I don't have a chest to put in the neos either. laugh

CFM,

Was it something I said? rolleyes

I only meant that I am not fit to wear her waders. (I'm 6'1") Plus, she can outfish me anyday. Maybe one day though, after some more "practice", I'll be good enough to justify getting a pair of my own. laugh

Not sure if she's buying it though. I keep getting those funny looks when I tell her I gotta go "practice" some more. But hey, practice makes perfect right? wink

My wife enjoys fishin n huntin shows. But -- if there is somethin that she would rather watch she goes in the bedroom and watches it. She does like to fish. Not as much as I do -- course very few people outside of this BB like to fish as much as I do (5-7 times a week, MINIMUM!)

Sincerely,
Roger

I don't have a SO, but I'm a girl and I like to watch fishing shows, provided that they're shows about things that I actually fish for. A show about how to fish for striped bass doesn't hold my interest. I also went to the Sports'man's show alone, and forked out over $1,300 for a boat there. A couple of years ago some bank was running a commercial about boat loans where this guy said he got his wife a bass boat with a trolling motor for her birthday. And I was like "I WANT A BASS BOAT! GIVE ME A BASS BOAT FOR MY BIRTHDAY!"

Heh heh heh.

Sounds like a lot compromises or whatever it takes to get along which is great. Also, sounds like there are few women out there enjoying hunting and fishing to, my wife doesn't go with me anymore but at the same time, she doesn't stop. She was even glad last week, when I told her that I bot a pontoon boat.
Hey Arklier, what kinda boat did you buy and where are you going to use it when the floods stop?

When I turn on the fishn shows shows, my wife says thats all I watch and that I have a MENTAL PROBLEM. Whan I talk on the phone or go fishn with my fishn buddy, Shanerd, she insists that I should have just married him. But when I actually go fishn, All I here is that I am always on the water and I dont care about our relationship. I tell her that I wasnt put on this earth to impress her or anyone else. Iwas born to fish. She knows that I would rather fish than f@%$!!!
