Opinions On Best Fisherman

LOL Pretty much I guess. There's still a difference between standing your ground with a boss.....and just flat refusing to even HAVE a boss.

Yep it counts fins. Welcome to the federation of what is referred to at times as fishing bums.

Hey I was young, cant say stupid the new job paid better and the new boss had access to high quality cigars and liked to hunt and fish.

But the greatest and still living table rock fisherman is Pete Peterson. Pete lives in Emerald Beach and has lived on the lake since the early 80's. He fishes every day in his small red boat at that end of the lake. He makes most of his own tackle. I'm glad to be able to share a coffee with him whenever i'm on the lake and always learn something about the fishing.

Those are the kinda guys that I respect more than the title winners. I know a handful just like your boy "Pete", and you'll never see any of them at a weigh-in, and likely won't see them in the local tackle shop either. Extremely low-key, ghostly old fish predators.

I would think you would need an understanding wife more than anything. Unless you're one of the types that enjoys being alone ( which I could never do). If you're constantly preoccupied with a crappy relationship, I would think you can't fully concentrate and excel at achieving your potential.

Pete's wife passed away several years ago, but he was still fishing twice everyday at about 2 hours per shot.

Two guys were out fishing near a bridge when a funeral convoy began to cross. One of the guys took his hat off and placed it over his chest until the last car was out of sight.

The other guy looks at him and says, Wow Gus, I'm a bit taken back by your sensitivity there, I never knew you to be such a softy.

Gus says: Yeah well, we were married for 26 years.

I know we are off topic a bit but its true about relationships, I have had a couple ruined by my love for fishing and hunting but I think of it a different way. Those were not meant to be anyway, how could you be happy if your spouse was jealous of what your passion was?

My wife is a keeper for certain, she has laid out in cold mud hunting geese with me stood in frozen lakes hunting ducks and can catch stripers like a champion. Our Wedding day me and my brother went hunting that morning one of our most cherished pictures from the wedding was the picture of her hand and mine with the rings on at the table cake in the background. Apparently I didn't get all the blood off my hand from the birds that morning when I showered. You can still see the blood around my finger nails and webbing of my thumb and forefinger. It was a limit hunt fast she was upset she missed it. That to me is a Keeper wife in any book. And her Idea to get married during hunting season so we could spend our anniversary hunting together.

Well you can get thruogh it. My wife does not fish. Is not comfortabke in a boat. Does not undetstand one end of a rod from the other. There have been many tough times. But she has her thing with her computer and church. I admit she has held me back a lot. But she has had to put up with a lot being married for 50 years this year to a deaf man is not easy. I never forget that. Its a grand compromise. Ahhhhh hell fins it is a conversation on here. I never care one iota if it gets off suject. Thats how conversation are.
