I've been known to be competitive, especially with my brother or nephew-in-law.
For some reason, no matter which end of the boat they're on, I catch more fish.
Most of the time however, a day on the boat is about relaxing, watching the wildlife, others out on the lake, and simply enjoying the fact that I'm blessed with owning a pontoon.
Most days, if I'm fishing, I'll catch something.
I'm not a snob, so if it's edible and it bent my pole, I'll take it home and fry it up.
Some days, if I haven't caught any on the lake, I'll dip a worm around the docks, pull out a bluegill or two or three, toss em back and call it good that I didn't get skunked.
I think the one thing that makes me go "Hmmmm", is how on a weekday when all the un-retired folks are working, the kids are all in school, and there's a whole 4 boats on the lake, that we all wind up within about 100 square yards of each other.
