Thread: Probation

Interesting

Awesome pics, story……….

Slab did you not catch anything? Didn’t see you with any.

C1bigocarp is a friend of mine from Manchester TN. A friend you can trust with the keys to your house kind of friend. We fished together a good bit when I lived there and made a few excellent trips catching lots of fish. The man knew his stuff and the local waters. He and I made a trip one day and as I remember, conditions were bordering on pretty tough. He was up in the front of his Stratos managing the TM and other assorted duties and I was in the back doing what I do best…..catching fish. I didn’t pay much attention to things as the day progressed and we had a pretty good box of fish. As we made our way to the ramp he informed me that we couldn’t fish together for a while as I was on probation. I had no clue what he was talking about and told him so in no uncertain terms. He said that I had trounced him soundly from the back of HIS boat and that was bad etiquette so I was on probation til further notice. And I guess he meant it cuz we didn’t share his boat for the next 15 months. We’re still friends and laugh about this whenever it comes up, but Slab received the same treatment today as luck seemed to be on my side. Skeet-5……Slab- 0. I’m guessing that this is my notification that I’m on probation again. Jeeeez!!

A great time trashin around with the boss was had even though the winds and a major front had other ideas. Thanks for the ride Boss, guess it’ll have to be my boat next time.


Gewber huh?

Slab also showed me around his live scope setup, and it’s pretty cool. It didn’t help us a bit but I see the concept and it’s value. The new/old boat is pimped out with all kinds of goodies and cut the chop much better than my flat bottom tin boat would’ve done. A tinkering man’s dreamboat.

Good stuff y’all

Great times for sure !
thanks for sharing!

Cool deal! Jealousy can sometimes yield some harsh characteristics by folks that are typically more favorably controlled. The truth, imho, is that Slab, El Capitan, actually put YOU on the Feeshes! No matter the reason, I cast my vote for a Post-title change to it's antonym= OVATION!! Hopefully Skeet, you somehow marked those fish before doing your stereotypical C & R...that way when Slab returns to those EXACT SPOTS he will enjoy the satisfaction of "other fish"(Besides Tilapia) being in his backyard!

Was he really filming you the entire trip to hopefully explain his lack of Proud-Papa Pics!??

Mr. Finesse pretty much caught them all on his own. One time he even used my pole to show me that it worked too! I dono, some peeps got it and some peeps don't. Billbob shows me up, William shows me up, wifey shows me up, daughter shows me up, Skeetbum shows me up. Maybe I need a new more better, more lucky for me boat, that's what I'm thinking! lol

Or just fish solo more often…….lol
