Here is my story
I use to be a keen fisherman me and my son went every weekend. One day he lost interest and stop fishing with me. When i visited the bait and tackle shop I met Sam who was also a keen angler. so Sam took my sons place when fishing.

I loved every minute of it and about a month ago me and sam had our best day on the water yet. But we believe in catch and release and only took a photo of Sam holding the 2 biggest fish.

When i showed the photo to The family my wife was blowing vains in her head and started to phone her legal team and mother.

She says i must stop fishing and sell my boat or she will leave me.
But it is one of the only pleasures ive got left .

do you think I must sell the boat and stop fishing and risk losing her

Oh yes before i forget here is the photo of Sam holding the Bass





PLEASE I NEED ADVISE

I think I can see why you went fishing. It's not as clear why you started hunting.

I don't think I had any good reasons for going hunting, other than I enjoy being in the wild and it just seems to come naturally.

This has started an argument between us here!

Walter was the first to see the photo.

Walter "Ah saeed, come have a look at this! We should invite her and her friends to come hunting with us. Much better than Dwight and Todd and Hite and Nelson and Keke and all the others you take along!"

I was sorting some 22 rim fire ammo for testing.

Me "What are you on about now?"
Walter "Just come and have a look! Bloody hell, she hasn't much clothes on at all!"

I came and had a look "Why would anyone want one of these on a hunt? You can pick as many of them at the mall as you wish, 24 hours a day!"

Walter "YOU can pick them at the mall. I have a wife, and she will get very mad. And you don't want to get my wife mad"

Maddy, one of those who frequently visits our range "She must be mad to have married you in the first place!"

Walter "No one asked your opinion, so keep yor mouth shut! When you are brave enough to go hunting with us, then you can talk!"

Maddy "I would love to go hunting with you, but Saeed says I won't enjoy it. You know I cannot walk very far, and I am not good at spending all day asleep like you!"

Me "Quit arguing you two. Walter, we are NOT going to take any women on safari. And if you do not like it, you can stay home yourself!"

Walter, looking at Maddy, "You see, you are already putting bad ideas into his head. Why can't we have girls on a hunt? Roy said he would love to see one or two."

Me "Walter, what would you do with a girl like that ha? You are well passed it by now, I am sure half way you will call for half time to be finished in a weeks time!"

Maddy, screaming with laughter "Remember when we met those girls on the beach Walter? have you forgotten? Shall I remind you again?"

Me "We don't want to hear all those sordid details again, thank you.

Walter "Saeed, ask this man to give us Sam's phone number. I will call and ask if she wants to come hunting with ME"

Me "That woman's picture has been posted here many times. She must have about 1/2 a million boy friends by now"

Maddy "I bet she has never had one like Walter, ha ha ha!"

I left them to it and wnt back to shooting my 22 rim fire.

Fish? What fish? I don't see any fish.

I do not understand your wife, Sam still has a lot of tissue covering her. The only error you did has been to avoid to involve your son. He could have been a good witness for you and he would be still with you during week end.
Because I'm sure that your only and pure interest was, is and will be fishing, isn't it?

I think your wife should be more understanding, we need to have time to hunt and fish, spend time in nature, recharge our batteries so to speak. Having a fishing buddy helps backing the boat trailer in the water, or a hunting buddy to help spot deer. My wife understands my "sickness" for the outdoors now and seems to like to go with me on most of my trips. It seems I catch more fish and shoot more deer with her along, the down side is I don't seem to get to enjoy "nature" as much. My son is 24 now and seems to like to hang out with my hunting and fishing buddies and helps convince his mother that it is a great weekend for her to go shopping.

Hello all. I am 375Fanatic's son and have really missed fishing with him. Dad, please arrange a fishing trip for me with you and Sam. I'll understand if you cannot go due to Mom's lack of understanding. I'll let you know how the day goes. Thanks Dad!

saeed - i do believe you should take here along with walter. after a day or 2 you probably won't have to put with walter anymore

Nice Bass!

Looks like a couple of 6 pounders for sure. What a pair of trophies!!!

PS - the girl is nice too...

PSS - what bait was she using? Purple worm, crank, spinner, top water, diver....

I guess we will be left to our own devices to fill in the blanks here.

By chance Walter was not imitating a sundial, was he?

What fish? I don't see a fish...jorge

Maddy is an old fisherman. He has had no formal education at all. Does not know how to read or write, speaks very little English - we have to translate between him and Walter, and I know sometimes the translator - whoever it is doing it - does not do it properly, I am sure on purpose!

And that tends to start arguments at the drop of a hat!

We do not know how old Maddy is, I suspect he is probably in his 80's.

He is not really a shooter, but enjoys coming here for the company.

Sometimes only him and Walter remain here in the gun room while we shoot. And they carry on a heated discussion. Each is talking about a different subject than the other.

I sometime leave the video camera on while they are at it to get the conversation recorded. When we listen to it afterwards tears pour out of our eyes as we laugh!

In fact, we get some people asking when are Maddy and Walter are going to be here together. They come just for the comedy!

It is bad enough getting people to believe what Walter on his own gets up to. I can imagine very few people will believe anything I say about him and Maddy together!

Thanks Guys
I showed my wife your response and she was so happy i found my long lost son she forgave me (30ott6 who is your mom again). i told her Sam only cleans the rods and boat and make sure i have a beer and some snacks.

She even suggested that i get one for hunting aswell Any suggestions

Walter Sam says hi and she is the ugly sister

Hey! Who photoshopped the see-through bikini on her?


Last time I saw that photo posted in the humor section she wasn't wearing anything!

Something fishy here.
