Heading home from work today, I call Dave V, ask him to call in sick so we
can fish a bit. He agrees to a delayed work start time and makes
arrangements to meet me at the lake, but a fishing bet must be made. We
agree and the bet stands, His wife thinks he's in work and mine will soon
think I have to run out on a work related issue. The bet????? First
person to catch a fish 3 lbs or more, the other guy has to call his wife
and lether know he's fishing and not working.

I get home and the wife seems to be "having enough of the kids for the
day", I use my I have to run out for a while, and head to the lake. I
meet up with Dave and off we go. We joked a bit about catching a fish that
weighs in exactly 3lbs, both claiming we would be the one to do it.. A few
minutes later Dave hooks his first fish, but not close to 3 lbs so I'm
safe. I get the next fish, not close to 3 lbs either, Fishing conditions
were tough and the bite was slow. Dave managed another bass on a zara
spook of all things, still safe, not 3 lbs. We start heading back in and
get to the shore, I flip my spinner bait and Dave says pull up let me off,
I figure, we're done. Both of us safe, he flips his worm into some pads
right at the launch and sets the hook, good fish, fat fish. He gets the
scale, standing on shore we weigh the fish 2.14 2.11 2.15 2.12 3.0 3.0 3.1
3.0 3.0 3.0. He says get the phone out you lost. I argue that we were done
with the bet as he told me to let him off and we were grounded when he
caught the fish, fish was weighed on shore. We spatted a bit but both
agreed that it was a bad bet to begin with and nothing good could come
from it.

We also decided that we still had some time left so why not fish just a
bit more. We head into a little cove, I hit a good bass but it popped off
and Dave wound up taking his 4th. This one with a hook in it. He shows me
the hook, it's my hook from earlier last week. It was a wide gap hook with
a stopper that I had ordered from BPS, I had hooked a fish deep and cut
the line due to me forgetting the pliers. I got my hook back and the fish
swam away a lot better than it was. Go Figure... any ideas for bets for us
this year?, We would love to hear them
