The video is adorable! And proof that the amount of enjoyment has nothing to do with the amount you spend!
 
with that being said.... I have to admit....some women collect shoes and jewelry....I collect fishing poles and lures...
And these forums are a great support group for the addiction!

Well I did it!!!!
 
I got on the FishUSA store sight and ordered TWO Okuma trolling rods, TWO Okuma line counter reels AND TWO spools of lead core line.
 
Printed out the receipt; walked right up and handed it to the better half and said, "enter this in the check book"..... so I did!
 
I figured if "outasync" could do it, so could I...........................
 
 
Ummmmmm...................  OHhhhhhhhhhhh CRAP!
 

Coming
dear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tain't fair, outasync was allowed to buy stuff so, I'm being myself and pouting!
 
 
But, I figured if he could do it soooooooo could I and went ahead on my own and ordered stuff anyway.
 
Kinda quiet around the house this morning except for, the occasional slamming of doors and cabinet drawers.  Here it is past noon and I haven't seen breakfast yet; wonder what's up with that?
 
I guess the better half ain't buying............. "Walcat made me do it"

10-4 on the "screwed my fishing" but it's gonna blow out of here with the stupid wind over the next two days.  Maybe make it out Friday weather permitting (not that I'm a fair weather angler) but, Sat. I'm a headin to the wilderness and try killing errrrr, "harvesting" a deer with a stick.  Not sure if I'm gonna try still hunting or, just sit in my "high chair".  I'm lookin forward to some good ole "red neck surf and turf" this year, but first, I gotta get some venison and walleye!
 
Haven't tried the knot yet but, I thinking it shouldn't be too frustrating.
 
Maybe see ya on the Pymie Sunday.  With all my new equipment, I'll be in the "FishHawk" that looks like a trawler. (or an idiot)
 
Thanks again for all the advice and help Marco, tightlines.
