Ya but yours doesnt go down to often ;D ;D ;D ;D
[/quote]Be careful with remarks like that as he has most likely caught more fish than a number of people on this board, including winning the annual Boxing day Steelhead Derby, something that has escaped me for 30 years. Saying that however we must all remember that catching a large number of fish is not all that important in the whole scheme of things, as well remember the way we catch them is important, if they have not bitten your offering they do not count. ;D ;D ;D

Also when we all began our working career, get married, start raising a family the opportunities to get out fishing can become limited. You then have to wait for retirement like me so you can fish every day if you choose. ;D  ;D

I've only done one of those three, and that was soley to pay the rent and have money so I can go fishing :) The other two, well... I don't know, those two just don't seem worth it if I can't fish...

I did see one set of parents on the Bulkley one day, and they had a baby with them, and mom and dad would take turns watching the baby while the other one casted... Now that is teamwork!

:D

I don't feel guilty leaving the wife at home will I am out fishing, I just fell guilty when I leave for work and she is home with the son  ;D ;D ;D ;D . I just bought him his first level wind reel and can't wait for him to learn how to use it. I am filled with envy when I see people out there fishing with their son/daughter and wish it was me. Just like when searun is out with guppy. He has taught his son so much in the years and he now has days with multipul hook ups. Now that is priceless.

I didn't fish back then, but did the same with my son and daughters with golf, the girls weren't into it..even though they were decent..My son, he's now 18 and a 2 handicap and we won state two years ago...I miss that time with him now that I'm on my hiatus...but he's starting to show an interest in fishing so that would be really cool to have him out with me...

I DON'T feel guilty leaving my wife at home...God, I work with her all day...fishing is my reprieve.. :D :D

Roe kid, ask Chris how fast time will pass...at your age it seemed to drag on forever..now I'm sitting here watching one kids graduate this year and wondering how the hell that happened..seemed like a snap of the fingers and I was getting him out of trouble in kindergarden...
