u63405 Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Dear Abby: I have been so blessed in my life. Great parents, great wife and kids, great job, and great education. When I finally retired, I could hardly wait to spend time enjoying my favorite pastime -- bass fishing. I got my own little fishing boat and tried to get my wife to join me, but she just never liked fishing. Finally, one day at the Bait & Tackle Shop, I got to talking to Sam the shop owner who it turned out loves bass fishing as much as I do. We quickly became fishing buddies. As I said the wife doesn't care about fishing; she not only refuses to join us she always complains that I spend too much time fishing. A few weeks ago Sam and I had the best fishing trip ever. Not only did I catch the most beautiful bass you've ever seen, only a few minutes later Sam must have caught his twin brother! So I took a picture of Sam holding up the two nice bass that we caught and showed the picture to the wife hoping that maybe she'd get interested. Instead she says she doesn't want me to go fishing at all anymore! And she wants me to sell the boat! I think she just doesn't like to see me enjoying myself. What would you do? Tell the wife to forget it and continue my hobby or quit fishing and sell the boat as she insists? Thanks, A fisherman PS I have enclosed the picture of Sam showing off the bass we caught.

Mylures Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 I definitely think you should go fishing everyday. You have my vote. Ken Schmitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr8flyz Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 My wife don't like to fish either. I wonder if I can get Sam's phone number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskat Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 Wonder if Sam wants to franchise her baitshops. She'd get my business!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
