comments update on the fishin

hi peeps....

i started this in the comments, in response to josie and yankee....but decided to move it here ... so , here it is.

good to see ya... yes it was quite the day on he lake today.
obviously my brain was fried when i wrote that post earlier. my gawd... i had no idea how long it was...nor did i intend for it to end up that way. i could barely see or think, or even stay awake for that matter, and was actually just trying to spit out the "quick" high points, so i could go get some sleep. boy, i told y'all i could write a book. just didn't think it would end up here. :))

anyhow. yes... men do get that petty apparently, but i really think it was started in a joking type manner, and then the other guys got egged on, and it took off from there. it's all good tho. we got the money. i swear it was a legal fish though! dammit. that's the part that is aggravating. but everyone was sooo hot, and really.. if ya wanna get down to it... they were probably a little peeved that they waited for us for twenty minutes or so, after they had all already weighed etc... for us to catch our retahded fish out of the stupid live well ! omg. and wouldn't ya know.. there's like fourty guys standin over there watchin us TRY to get the fish out... and what is the first thing they see? MYY ASS! yep.. that's the birds eye view from me backward on my knees on the seat with my head in the live well... NICE. NOT.
oh well, like i said. it's just not that big a deal. no resentments here. it would be different if it was a two or three pounder. i might be a bit pissed if they did that to a good fish.

and yes.. just a couple more good fish woulda won it for us. damn. little disappointing, but hey. shit happens. and this was our first tourney together. people fish differently under pressure. we found that out today.. i mean we already knew that... but never had fished one together. sooo now we know.
i was worried all day that he wouldn't want to fish another tournament with me, cuz i had got snagged up so often, and didn't catch any fish. luckily that wasn't the case. he said he had a good time and would definitely fish a tourney again with me. i sighed a huge sigh of relief to that.

and hell, it was funny.. to look back on. we had a few laughs on the drive home, and a little while ago, after had rested a bit.
but you were right.. aside from flying fish... there were MANY cuss words on the boat flying as well. but hey.. they were just random, not to or at each other. we cussed fish, and live wells, and snags, and heat, but not each other. :))

i do miss my hat though. but hey.. that is the first hat i have ever lost off the boat... hubby has lost more than i can count... and a couple of them were mine! (that he "borrowed" :)) i do wonder sometimes just how many hats and sunglasses lay on lake bottoms. hmmm.

and yankee, yes... 70 bucks, made me happy. like josie said, it covered the entry fee..and lunch! FOOD! we had some delivered. found a place that actually sends lasagna to your door ! what a treat. well except when the delivery guy showed up and dropped one of them on the ground ! yep, that really happened. he was gonna go get a new one...but hubby said since it didn't open or spill he would just keep it.. we were STAHVIN !
when aren't we right? :))

anyhow... i'm off to check on my peoples now.

and since THIS ended up long as well.. i shall move it into the post section.. cuz i'm lazy like that... and this can be my "update" of sorts.

Oh dear, I can just picture poor Soul there, with her rear end up and her head down tryin to catch that wild bass in the live hold. I'm betting by then you didn't much give a "hoot" about the view! :-) Imagine the stories that bass went home and told his friends! hehehe

And the delivery man even flipped your lasagna - boy this just isn't your day over there in Texas, is it? I would be just like your hubby - "give it to me, I'm hungry!" Delivered lasagna - Wow! I wish they had that here! Sounds wonderful.

Hey, it's very cool that your hubby still wants you as his partner - next time has gotta go better - it sure couldn't go much worse. Flying fish.. ROFL!! :-)

Anonymous said...

yeah next time you two will get your act together... thats cool that you can do that together though... not sure how hubby and i would be as a combi....

crispay are you? r u eating something crispay now????

SOUL said...

yank.. i be crispay cuz i be burnt ! :)) not too bad, but a little bit.
and no, i ate a couple hot dogs. but i don't eat those nasty ole "chicken turds"... i get "Nathans' Franks" and damn they are good. they taste best off the grill... but we usually just broil them. we haven't had our grill here very long, sometimes we forget we have it. and even if we wanted to... today was NOT a grill day. :)) with the streak of bad luck today... we surely would have set the house on fire ! lol

josie.. no, by that time, i didn't care a whole lot about those guys lookin at me... "ass over teakettle"... whatever the hell that means. haha. jamie said it a few days ago on her blog, and i kid you not, while i was there trying to get a hold of these fish... that phrase hit me. i was literally ass over teakettle.. well, sort of.... and it made me laugh !

and yes.. very good that hubby will partner up with me again for another tourney. i really did feel bad for not doing well today... but it was the effort, and the remaining vertical, and of course keeping his fish alive.. that saved me. :))

next time i'll do mo bettah... just watch.

oh ya the food.. hubby ate that one :))

SOUL said...

hiya vick..we still have a
couple weeks before school starts here... but they will be a busy couple weeks. hope all your herd gets a good start !
times like this makes me appreciate an only child. i swear one is enough in times like these. i honestly don't know how you folks with three, four or five kids, manage . i know you are blessed... but i both both envy and pity you at the same time!
c ya round

Hey, I see you're really passionate about fishing! I don't know anything baout fishing but sounded like you had a great time at the tourney.

SOUL said...

hiya blur...
yep, i really do love to fish. i love the water, the sky, the sun, the breeze, obviously catching fish!, i live the anticipation and excitement. it's sorta like gambling i guess...fishing is. ya know.. ya toss that dollar in the the slot, and just wait to see if it pays out or not. it just happens to be a LOT cheaper sometimes. (it gets expensive when ya get into too many tournaments, fees, baits, gas, etc..) but man..it really affects every one our senses... and ya know what... i'm actually getting some muscle back into my arms and legs... not to mention a TAN!
i'd been hibernating in hermit- ville away from sun and people, for two years... i finally got back into fishing, and feel somewhat alive again.
the only bad thing about tit.. is i can't handle the heat as well as i used to... and my poor body sure pays for it. every time.
especially today. ugh boy. i thought i was gonna be ok, aside from my neck... but i woke up today... i ache ALL over. :((
but, it's still early, hopefully, i'll loosen up a bit .

hope you have a great day!

Jamie said...

Only you could have the delivery guy drop your dinner on the front steps. Soul, you crack me up. I am so looking forward to our get together, laughing adds years to your life, you know!

SOUL said...

I hear ya jamie... that's why i say
because i am ME... so often
even hubby when we were fishing...and ...i forgot to post this part... the trolling motor took on a mind of it's own.. and only worked when it wanted to! so hubby was gettin really pissed off...and says
SHIT LIKE THIS ONLY HAPPENS TO US!!!!

haha... and that was before the damn food fell on the doorstep!

yep.. i just love it sometimes. if i couldn't laugh at this crap, i would surely be dead.

i too am anxious to our meeting up. i hope we can git er dun soon.
gonna be lotsa FUN.

c ya in a few.

Jamie said...

You know Soul, so often when I read your post and comments, I am literally laughing out loud. I don't mean to make fun of your sorrow, but i swear, I could SEE the catastrophe of a fishing tournament yesterday, I could actually see it.....
