Everyone goes through a learning curve, unfortunately some stya on the curve and it turns into a loop!!
I will say, a few years ago, I was loading out my boat and there were three hot women trying to back two jet skii's into the water in a huge 4x4 crew cab truck that sat about 6' off the ground. They asked me if I could help them, to which I agreed, but with great hesitation (yeah right). So I get in the truck and all three of them get in the truck with me, with two of them sitting in the front bench seat with me!! The one sitting next to me is staring right at me and telling me how much she appreciated what I was doing. I was a bit nervous because A) I have this oober hot chick dang near on me and B) I couldn't see the dang jet skii's from any angle. I slowly backed the trailer into the water and then told the girls to get out and on to the jet skii's and that I would push them off. After I parked the truck the girl who had been staring at me as I backed the jet skii's into the water asked if I would like to join them.......this is that moment that every guy dreams of, but when your brother in law is with you (which mine was), you simply say thanks but I have to go. I was sad and then explained to my brother in law that if he wanted to keep his ability to walk, that he would not say a word to my wife. Ah the beach!!!!!! thats priceless!

Ha, well I guess I can share my stupid moment from this last weekend too. First off I ask BigCountry Matt where the best place would be to launch prior to 7am. He simply replied "Holiday". Well, got up late, so in a bit of a rush and got to Tawakoni State Park at about 645. Rush to get the boat in the water. All is going just fine at this point. Get the boat in the water, my two sons waiting at the dock while I park the truck and trailer. Still no problem. Hop in the boat, go to start it, NO KEYS! Left them at home. So use the TM to beach the boat. Call the wife. She is still sleeping along with our 15month old baby. Tell her the deal and she pops up and is on her way within 15 min. (she is a good woman, didnt even give me [censored]). Day turned out well. We caught several nice Hybrids and sandies and my youngest son caught his PB hybrid at 9-4. There was a time that my day would have been totally ruined. But because I have Jesus in my heart I feel God's peace all the time and it keeps me calm.

In 1989 or 90, I was stationed at Ft Bliss, Tx, Whenever I had a 3 or 4 day weekend I would come home to North Texas. I was coming home one Friday afternoon down I-20. There are some mountainous areas between El Paso and Siera Blanco. I was traveling along and then I see this bass boat sitting on the side of the road. Not on a trailer just sitting on the road.
There wasn't any lake around for 200 miles. I don't know why they launched it there.

I forgot the plug once, the tilt once, and the transom saver once, so far. I'm sure I will forget something again or something new.

Can someone explain how the Feds count recreational Red Snapper catch?
