after months of trying to talk my wife into getting in my small aluminum boat and going fishing with me on local ponds. [she doesn't swim very well]. she finally did. I even bought her a new outfit to use. after becoming comfortable about the boat being stable and she wasn't going to fall outside began casting. I tried to assist her in where to aim and how to retrieve, set the hook and so forth . she politely informed me "you cast where you want to and I will cast where I want". then almost immediately she landed her first beast ok ill be quiet ! we had a Wonderfull evening. she even said se wanted to go more with me. I am all in! great togetherness time. side note, if you see pic of me with black and blue marks she did threaten to hit me with the pole when I laugh at her when she looses one periodically.

Good time pal. I'm not sure, if I'm gonna ever convince my wife to fish for bass and not keeping them lol.

That's Great!!

I'm very blessed that my wife is my best friend and fishing partner. 

We've been fishing together now over 36 years. 

Now, she's not quite as die hard as me, but she does have her own compartments on the boat with her two rods and gear.?

If you really want to stay on the good side with her let her out fish you once in a while. Don't rub it in when you out fish her.

she has fever bad now , and kicked my but tonight!!
