Fishing Tales

My dad said the second greatest day in a man's life is when he buys a boat and the greatest day is when he sells it. I believe he was referring to the trouble & cost of upkeep & maintenance. My buddy Big Mike ran into a little of that this past weekend. After we landed a couple huge 4 oz. perch, we decided to find another spot to fish. Go to take off and the boat never planed out. After a brief inspection, we notice the engine compartment looks like a live well with all the water in it. A boot on the shifter cable had a huge hole in it allowing gallons of Percy Priest in the boat.

But every dark cloud has a silver lining. Preceding our fishing, we did get to spend a little time in party cove where there is no shortage of alcohol, bikinis, steroids, and whatever else people do to make themselves happy. Michelle, a member of the "Gittin' Wood" bowling team, hopped in the boat with us three ugly dudes and instantly the boat looked a whole lot better. A helluva sweet girl and is very easy on the eyes.

I guess even though a boat can be a pain in the ass, when you get to reel in a couple of fish and have some beautiful ladies on the boat, it's all worth it. Thanks Big Mike. And thank you dad, no telling how many time we went out on your boat till you ran out of beer and I never paid a dime. I'm such a bum!
