When you think about fishing all the time…

It happens.. even places like this. Sitting in the Delta Sky Room between flights. You see something on the floor nearby, and could swear it’s a 4 inch Yamasenko color #297.  Then it just turns out to be a green bean dropped by another passenger. 
 

Alas, Monday morning withdrawals.  The struggle is real…

Thinking about fishing all of the time is why my parents were not able to put a bumper sticker on their car that said their kid is on the honor roll.  They could have put a bumper sticker on their car that said their kid landed the biggest bass ever caught out of rock creek, but I guess they didn't sell that sticker at the PTA meetings.

 

I  sure hope God wasn't too offended when as a young boy, while watching a baptism at church I  wondered how many bass could live in the baptism tub, and how much better it would be to check out the action of my new lures there rather than our bath tub at home.  I am certain that no where in the good book does it say it is a sin to day dream about bass fishing during church, but I'm sure my mother would have not approved and at that time of my life there was not a big difference between the power of God and the power of my mother.

Now that’s a funny post… and no you’re not the first one to think about fishing at the wrong times… lol

@king fisher my grandfather had his 2nd wedding and reception on a boat and all I could think about was how I could get a rod over the side and which staff member would I have to bribe. 

 

Also all I hear is you admiring a creature in Gods creation....how can that be negative? Worship in another form....or I'm wrong and there are a lot of us who have a little creative explaining to do when the end comes! 😅

That is the same kind of out of the box thinking the Bait Monkey uses when he is trying to max out my credit card.  Are you related to him?

My 3yo daughter has been acting like a monkey lately....might be time for one of them ancestry DNA tests...would certainly explain the condition my boat is in.

Funny you mention that.

Long time friend of mine and avid bass fisherman goes to the same church as I.

 

Every Sunday before service we look for each other and talk about bass fishing.

Well just recently an elder of the church walked up to us and kindly said " is that all y'all talk about " ?? 

He quietly walked away while my buddy was laughing hysterically when I replied.

" Have you forgotten who the greatest fisherman in the world is " ? 😂

5 second rule, bean is still edible unless there’s dog hair on it…….

There’s quite a history in the Minneapolis airport so it could be something leftover even worse than that.. 😱

My pastor always says God gave everyone a talent & we need to use it. I said, yeah but you won't let me put bass in the baptistry!

One third of Jesus hand picked disciples (Peter, Andrew, James , and John) were fisherman. I'm sure he understands the predicament you found yourself in.  I'm also sure that tub would hold enough fish to feed 5,000 men and their families. 😉

It's not my fault. Everyone I know always ask me, how's the fishing been, so out comes the phone for the picture show.

I have always felt a special connection between fishing and the Almighty. I think it's safe to say God is a fisherman (note my signature).

 

We always joke in my church about me fishing the crystal river when I get up there.

 

We are going to have a baptism day at the river; I reckon we'll be staying a bit longer than the preacher that day!
