Got My Hat Handed to Me...

BassHunter called me up the other day and invited me to go fishing in one of
his favorite backwaters. First thing I want to say is, "THANK YOU." I had a
great time.

He's got a smaller boat, and at first I was a little uncomfortable, but by
the end of the evening I was standing up and fishing just fine. Surprisingly
we got on a little bit of a topwater bite after sunset. I had five definite
bites on top, but only got one in the boat. BassHunter put two in the boat
on top, and several more on his favorite crankbait earlier along with one of
those big sunfish we all would like to catch when we target those guys.

He easily caught 2-3 times as many fish as I did. He also caught the first
fish and the biggest fish. Cost me 3 bucks. Teach to me offer my standing
bet to somebody on their favorite home water. LOL.

No big fish, but this one was what I would call a solid 3. I think I'll put
this pic in the hall of shame as well. Poor guy has "Been fishing with Bob."

You know you are in decent company when you have a bit of adversity and just
adjust. We had a little battery issue so we couldn't use the trolling motor
most of the evening. He just dug out a couple oars and moved the boat from
time to time with a stroke or two. We took turns advancing the boat around
and it worked out great. I wouldn't want to fish a tournament that way for
8+ hours, but for a few hours in the evening we hardly noticed any
inconvenience at all. A great guy to fish with.
