[quote albinotrout]Noting wrong with a little one on one fishing. Keeps the passion alive and doesn't hurt to have a little competition between the two of you either [url "http://www.bigfishtackle.com/images/gforum/happy.gif[/img][/quote]"]quote][/url]
[cool][#0000ff]Just because the word passion vaguely rhymes with fishin' does not mean it is appropriate in a discussion of the latter...especially among oldsters of our advanced years. Hot flashes have nothing to do with lust and a burning desire may be a matter of heartburn rather than anything more exciting.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]As far as the competition goes, TubeBabe is a pretty fair anglerette and I gotta work at it to avoid embarassment on some trips...especially when it comes to cat fishin'. She hits the water first, even if she has to knock everybody else over on her way to get launched. Then she is a picture of focused fishing. There have been more than a few trips that she has been top rod for both numbers and size.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Not all bad to have the lady outfish you sometimes. But it still bothers me when I have to quit using a hook or bait until she catches up or beats me. When I hear the sounds of stress in her walkie talkie communications...and her replies are terse and through clenched teeth...I know that I had better back off a few notches and maybe step in to help her bag a few more fish.

[#0000ff]Pays big dividends to let the lady win. Also reduces the chances that your dinner will be "hot
and cold shoulder."[/#0000ff]
