    This is why fishing is awesome

    You can make someone's day as well as a memory of a lifetime. Good on that guy for sharing the experience

    Yeah…that’s cool. Years ago I took a security guard from the parking lot at work. We struggled all day, finally caught a nice 4lbr and he shook his head in disbelief when I released it, gave me all kinds of hell about wanting to take it home for the grease.

    A couple of years ago I was fishing solo. I launched, tied off to dock and went to go park.there were 6-8 other boats launching on a 3-4 lane ramp.
    I got back to my boat and was looking at my graph to see where I wanted to start. Suddenly a guy steps in my boat, starts stowing gear/rods and then sits down in passenger seat. He turns and ask me where are we gonna start.
    Before I could answer he realized he was in the wrong boat.......his buddy in the right boat was dying laughing at him. I untold him he was more than welcome to fish with me. We all had a good laugh.

    I’ve had that happen, but when I told him how FAST we were going to go, didn’t take long for him to say sorry, I’m not riding with you

    I drew an ol boy with an oxygen tank back in the day (BFL) running my Bullet 21XDC/250XB rig. I told him he better shove that cannula up his nose pretty good.

    Fishing a club tournament on Clark's hill and everyone putting boats on trailers. Happen to be another club at same ramp so loading time was hectic to say the least. One older guy in our club loaded his boat on somebody else's trailer in the other club. He thought it was his fishing buddy in the truck. The guy told him he had the wrong truck but the old fart kept yelling to pull the boat up with many explicitives I can't say in public. Guess he thought his buddy was messing with him. Finally someone in our club told him

    First time I took the brother-in-law out (he wasn't much of a fisherman but wanted to go), we get to the first spot and he doesn't move. He sits there with his coffee (normal for him) for 5 minutes or so. I ask if everything is alright. He just asked how fast we were going and I told him just shy of 70. He just looks at me and doesn't say a word. Took him a while to start fishing. We get home and he tells the better half and she looks at me and says "REALLY!?!?!?!" And she and I start laughing. He grabs a beer. LOL

    Buddy and I fished a local week night tourney series and he would always jump out to get the truck and I would load the boat. I see a black truck and a Skeeter trailer (very distinctive especially ant night) backing down so when it hit the water I loaded, hit the front roller on a very shallow ramp and said hit it. I kept yelling hit it, go but someone was yelling back not your trailer! The other correct Skeeter then got right behind me and said the same thing. Well at least it was the correct fit!
    If professionals who's careers depend on catching fish use FFS then that's what I'm using. Might be too simple of a philosophy but makes sense to me.
