No worries VMatt. My wife and daughter usually outcatches me. Congrats on the catches you guys had.
Went fishing Lake Murray (Bush River) brought my fishing partner with me (wife). Weather over cast and drizzling most of the time perfect weather for fishing. I was fishing with jigs tipped with minnows four poles and she was fishing with 1 pole with double minnow rig. Got to my favorite spot put down the trolling motor started looking for the remote control, forgot the remote in the truck told the wife we have to go back and get it, she said AH just lets fish . That is not the embarrassing part.. Ok I used the wind for my trolling just drifting, about five minutes after we start here is the those words you hate to hear I GOT ONE she starts reeling in she is fighting a big fish, when she gets it to the boat she doesn’t have one fish has two crappie about a pound each on each hook. We went back started again here comes those words again I GOT ANOTHER FISH she got another crappie about a pound. As soon as I put the fish in the cooler one of my line went out before I could get to it the fish broke the line. That was that we went back home and she was on the phone the whole time telling everyone how she caught two fish on one line and all the fish. THAT’S THE EMBARRASSING PART. But I got her today we went again and I caught a 13 lb catfish but a soon as I put the fish in the cooler their goes those words again I GOT ONE she brought in at least a 10lb catfish, but I did catch two crappie, one white perch, and she also caught a white perch. So we caught a nice mess of fish.

Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
Matt sounds like a good trip. I can top your embarrassing moment. I took my boat out today to check out the new foot I had put on the motor and to check the Elite 7 since I had installed the latest update from Lowrance. I noticed I did not have any details on my map so I checked the chip in the DF and sure enough it was the blank SD that I had loaded the update on. So that meant the Navionics chip was left laying on the boat deck and was no where to be found. Best guess is on I 26 between Columbia and Orangeburg.
Which brings me to the question, "Did you sell your chip, cause I am in the market for one?????"
Mark 1:17 ...I will make you fishers of men
Sounds like your wife had a great trip Congrats to her for trying to teach you how it's done LOL!
We all have those days and like most I enjoy seeing them pull the fish in. Thanks for the report

Always glad to bring the wife or anyone and they catch fish its a lot of fun for all, thanks for the post guys
forgetting to put the plug into the boat and fishing for awhile before realizing that the boat is heavy is one of my biggest moments. Thank God for the bilge pump and getting back to the dock to pull it out and put the plug back in. Another one is I fell off a floating dock when I was younger because the dog saw a fish in the water took off after it and pulled me into the water. When my dad grabbed the chain the dog still had the fish in his mouth about drowning himself to death before letting go. I got completely soaked shoes and all.
lol - I've done that one. Was with a buddy - fishing for a while, and noticed water pooling in the boat and it was sitting low....yeah - I forgot to put the plug in. And my bilge pump wasn't working. So I jump in the water and put the plug in - praying I wouldn't drop it.
Then I hot wired the pump to clear out the water and went back to fishing
How about stepping off the bow of the boat with the intent of tying it up and missing the dock? Water sure is cold in Febuary on Lake Wateree. Nuff said.
How about throwing a floating net in the water and watch it go down like a 1974 Chevy
