[majorcatfish]

dw needed a few things for dinner so we got dressed stopped at huddle house for breakfast, always good..

drove up to wally world she went one way and i went the other<sporting goods> boy that department sure has gone down hill..
no 8lb line except in small packs... no spools
no small split shot...
no small bass worm hooks...
no 4" plastic worms...

well guess that was a waste of my time, was looking at combo's dw come over
"hell no you dont need another pole, you need that like a hole in the head"
a man can still look.. nothing there anyway but junk...

did see one of my favorite bait/pond reels zebco 33 holly cow they are proud 36.00 for a platinum model.
come on now the 33 has been around for decades it's a classic..pass

on the way home dw asks.. just how many poles do you have?
dont know... will count when home..
once home took a count, honey have 27
why so many? you only have 2 hands.!!!

we had this conversation before.............................

Maybe your wife just doesn't understand that fish are such discriminating creatures they wouldn't be caught dead hanging from the wrong pole, much less swallowing anything but the best lures.

I love that line and going to use it. I am asked far to many times why I have so many shoes, now my reply because I have 2 feet

I had to laugh at this, as I am on the opposite end in a way. I don't get to fish a lot, but when I do, I have separate tackle boxes and poles for fresh/salt water. I've been to Walmart recently and, yes, I was disappointed myself by the lack of casting spoons and rod selection. What I did find was shockingly overpriced.
My husband doesn't enjoy fishing as much as I do, but I grew up in a family where you were the black sheep if you didn't fish!

a few years ago that w world use to be nice it was geared towards people who catfished , now it looks like something you would find in a last chance gas station.
i as well dont get the chance to go as much as i would like. someday will have a boat again...

dang even dicks was picked though got line worms shot hooks, decided to drive over to gander mountain since they are going out of business.

picked up more worms hooks, walked over the gun dept picked up 1000rds of 22, 2 clips for the 22, 4 boxes of 9mm, last packs of 25' and 100 yrd targets.
walked the gun cases stopped and drooled over a sig 9mm, really want a compact. clerk asked what i was looking for pointed to the sig. he got it out of the case sweet gun fits my hand perfectly. he said if i purchased today he would knock off another 10% looked at the wife, if looks could kill a sale that one did...oh well.

walked over the register "poof" there went my wallet mad money.
