Whatever!!!! I think HO said I either - don't talk slow or I don't sound like a hick.
I can't remember which one is was now.
I thought it was that you talked slow but didn't sound like a hick.
I'd get you with a fish one way or another. Where you gonna run on a boat? Hmmmm?
You gonna jump overboard? I think not...if you won't touch a fish, are you going to swim with them and other boogy monsters lurking below? I think NOT! LOL!!!!!!!!!!

I ain't skeered. We swim with the alligators around here!
I don't think folks fly fish much in the south. I think the closest we come to large scale fly fishing would trolling around the house with a fly swatter.
HeavenlyOne and I are making a trip to Arkansas to see my parents.
My dad has booked a guided trout fishing trip on the White River near Mountain Home for ALL DAY Saturday!
When I lived in the Memphis area, I used to fish the Little Red River and loved it but I never made it to the White River which is world reknown for its record sized trout. Especially big ole brown trout!
I trout fish here in WI too but its not the same as Arkansas fishing. Trout fishing here is hard and the big fish are rare.
HeavenlyOne has never trout fished...this will be an experience for her she won't soon forget.
I can't wait! Eat your heart out guys and gals! But wish us LUCK on Sat.!
That's 15 trout you are seeing, but we caught about a total of 50-60. Five is the limit per person, but we had fun anyway. The good looking guy is LR's father, who treated us to that excursion.
And I found out my mouth wrote a check that my behind couldn't cash. LR wasn't doing so well fishing with bait. Understand that I have never trout fished before last weekend and she mainly lure fishes for trout.
I was feeling pretty good that I was outfishing her with the bait. I bragged about how I would have a story to tell on AFF when we returned. At lunchtime, I had 14 catches to her 12. She said 'day ain't over' several times, but I continued being cocky!
Well, after lunch, since we had our catch, we tried other kinds of fishing, and lure fishing was popular. LR, in her comfort zone, started pulling them in quick! The fish liked her lures better than mine, and at the end of the day, the total was LR-21, HO-16.
She got the victory, and I left defeated!
But I did do better than her with bait!

Ah but she doesn't tell the whole story...
I'm actually very good at bait fishing. However, I had never fished this river before. The guide set my dad and I up with different bait than what HO was using. Different colors too. The purpose of this was to see what the fish are biting on. Well, my dad was pretty quick to switch over to HO's bait and colors after she started catching the most fish. However, I prefered to wait and experiment with bait and colors that I had been successful with on the Little Red River. I caught a couple this way before finally switching to what seemed to be the bait of the day...HO's bait and colors. I started catching more fish immediately.
While its true that I lure fish in Wisconsin, I had never had any luck in AR with lures and quickly switched to nothing but bait fishing (on the Little Red when I lived in TN and drove over). I ALWAYS caught my limit (and then some) with bait on the Little Red. So...HO is using my "experience with lures" and her lack of experience with the same as an EXCUSE for getting beat fair and square...well...it would be fair and square if HO didn't try to count fish that never even got in the net!!!!!!!!!!!! She didn't mention THAT either! She wanted to count every fish that got on the hook even if it got off before getting netted!
The moral to this story is twofold...
1. The race is not to the bragger that starts off with a bang but to those who run well to the very end!
2. Cheaters never win!
