after chasing the deer around for 15 straight days on foot with over 100 miles logged on my hunting boots, i was finally able to bag a nice 3x4 saturday morning, my biggest blacktail ever!! drug him across the river, got him hung up, skinned out, took a shower, then....my wife went into labor with our first child!!! a healthy 8lb 7oz baby boy(daddy's new hunting and fishing partner)...what a day!!! now, where are all those bright silvers at?? i haven't even thought about fishing for three weeks..oh yeah! i know where i'll find some...i think it's about time to go walking the dogs...photos to be posted later toningt

Congrats all around.. However, from one guy to another... you need to stay home for at least 48 hours.. and 72 would be even better.

Gongrats! I'd also recomend staying hame and helping for at lest a few days.

LOL!!!

I remember well when my son was born. The doc and I were so busy talking fishing and boating that we sort of forgot what we were there for. The nurse finally said "Would either of you 2 guys come over here and CATCH this baby as its about ready to go" I still hear about that one.......

Congratulations!!!

Wow! That is a good day!

Now build up some points at home so you can play later!

congratulations - I wish you the best on your new chapter in your life.

I watched hours of early morning espn fishing shows when my daughter was taking her sweet time being born.

I would recommend not planning on fishing for a month, if you're smart. I've been happily married for 22 years, so I think I know what I'm talking about. You may get lucky sooner.

Start him fishing around age 2. Both of my boys had caught their first salmon by 3, and had gone on a camping trip before they reached 1.

Later on, once you have the kids hooked, let momma go off on her own one day every weekend, while you "watch the kids." It will pay off in spades.

I fish more than all of my buds, and she says she gets to do more fun stuff than her girlfriends. Don't forget to spend time together, as well. Make sure you have a "Date" once a month, minimum. Finding time for you and your wife gets hard once kids are introduced into the mix.

You will have fun on your adventure days with him, and others if you decide to expand the family.

Finally, that "V" thing all the guys talk about being so painful, really isn't. Being "tutored" ain't so bad. It also gives you an excuse to hold a bag of frozen peas in your crotch area. Every guy has wanted to do that before, but just didn't have a good enough excuse.

I've seen a number of fishing relationships go awry because of one person's affliction. I learned my lesson early enough, hopefully you won't have to.

Congrats on the new fishing buddy! The clock starts ticking faster now.
