I like bass fishing 'cause it gives me an excuse to use with my wife when I go to Cabela's and spend way too much money:
"But Honey, I had to get 'em, the bass already know about all those new lures I bought last year, and the new pole you got me for Father's Day is for 6-10 lb line and you just gotta' use 15 lb if your gonna drag 'em out of the brush up at Long Lake." "Besides Hun, I had to go there to get some more Zoom lizards, you know the yellow lab ate that whole bag of purple ones I left on the coffee table the other day. You just can't ask me to go to bass fishin' without any purple lizards, can you?" "I was really thinking about you when I bought that new seat for the front of the bass boat. You know that every time you go fishing with me, you complain about how your cute little backside hurts afterwards. And besides Hon, while I was there, I got you this new T-shirt in that Realtree Camo color I like so well. And Beth, You really shoulda' been there to see the new recliner I passed-up in that same camo color. It would have looked fantastic in the livingroom. All the guys would have turned green with envy when they come over for poker next week. But I knew I should talk it over with you before I buy any furniture for the livingroom; you know how much I respect your wishes on how we decorate the house. Do you think you could go down there with me day after tomorrow, to just look at it?"
After that story, she's just thrilled I haven't already bought the recliner, and, she's so busy trying to figure out how she can keep me from buying it next week that she forgets about asking me how much I spent on all my other new fishing gear.
Ah, Bass Fishing,,,Works every time!!! Just have to find something new to substitute for the recliner each trip. That aint' hard to do in Cabela's!!!
