Some times people just need to vent to other people. Kind of like what you just did here. Matter of fact I've had enough of it, I'm not replying to your topics any more! kidding!

That said, I wouldn't let any one ruin my fishing trip. I would have told him to shut up and fish.

I feel the same as Chad...I would try my hardest to not let it get to me. Then, when it did, I would probably say "...quit yer constant .itchin' or I am fixin' to drop you off on shore....now, shut up and feesh!!" Venting for a few minutes is one thing, constant complaining - I ain't having it.

Should have left your brother at home....

Sorry to hear that.. fishing is a time of relaxation not playing pyscho therapist

No my brother stood me up at 4:30 in the morning 2 weeks ago and I havent asked him to go since.

I am running out of people to fish with pretty quick!

ask bankbeater.... wait.. he may beat you though...

No matter what the conditions are or how well we thought the fish were going to bite, the guy I've fished the last two tournaments with would start screaming "hell yeah baby LETS DO THIS" or something to that effect and it got me really pumped up and ready to go. Good way to start off the day. Thanks Tyler!

If only you knew what really happend that day.

so you saying he cheated.. LOL! did he pool fish?

btw- i would fish with you as long as we could wear matching jorts!

I've had a similar thing happen to me.

It does help to vent about it, but then I start feeling bad that I'm bitching about someone else's bitching.

I tend to use a sublte approach. After I've had my fill I'll say something like, "It sounds like you're having a bad day, huh?"

If they don't get the hint, their UNlikely to be re-invited.

good luck!

can we go fishing saturday?

Probably wouldnt go well with your fishing jersey.

Come on!
