We call dragging a worm behind the boat Sharon fishing. Named so for a friends wife that usually outfishes us all while reading her book from the back of the boat.

I'm dying to post my thoughts, but don't want a trip to the W.O.S.

What a fish Mrs. Bassen 10.10

WOW! My wife likes bass fishing with me, but if she hooked a hawg like that, I can only wonder what she would do.

i LOVE fishing with my wife! She's a troooper. Caught this falcon bass while incessant wind, rain and 2 footers were poundin the boat. SHe never gave up on a brutal day of fishin

Wives make the best partners.

Boy do I spend alot on fishing tackle!!!

This is a good thread...

Thats why i dont take my wife fishing. She catches all the fish and i never hear the end of it.lol

Man, I need to find me one of those kind of troopers! This thread turned out pretty good.

Make sure she pees before going out and take a bucket just in case.Everything else will work out fine.

I think that is great you are taking your wife fishing.

I love to fish and he got a Nitro boat because of that...

Maybe this will help:
Make the trip all about her. Pretend you are a guide and make sure that all of your time is spent helping her.

Let her drive the boat and work the troll motor.

Take a digital camera, hide a rose or two in the rod box and make sure that she has proper clothing. Nothing makes it more miserable when you are cold or wet and have to end the trip early.

Remember, patience is a virtue.

Bring snacks and take breaks often. It's allot to learn in a day.

make sure she brings a spinning reel and fluke...the ipod, fingernail file, her people magazine and condoms.

the rest will take care of itself.

It is great that you are taking your wifey fishing!! Just don't make the same mistakes I did!

A few of the choice statements that would have been better left unsaid:

***"Holy @&*#@!!!! You were supposed to HOLD on to the rod!!"

***"STOP makin' that %#@*&# NOISE!"

***"DON'T bang the %#@#*# side of the boat like that!"

***"NO, we can't put in to shore to let you "go"! Now stop the #@%*#@ whining and FISH!!"

***"You almost caught my #@$&*# EAR! SIT IN THE BACK OF THE BOAT!!"

***"Can't you do ANY #@%*#@* thing right!!!"

***"Don't blame ME!! YOU were the one that #@%#@#* wanted to come fishing!!"

Wifey was not a happy camper after this fishing trip. In fact, she packed up and left 2 days later leaving my single-wide in a terrible mess.

Hope you have better luck than I did!

I met my wife 35 years ago fishing on her fathers pond. We have been fishing together ever since. Every time I go I ask her if she wants to come along. 90% of the time the answer is no, but when she does want to go, the trip is always about her. The secret to a long, loving marriage! Love you baby!
