OC, that's a great looking setup. How much does something like that cost?
TOO MUCH.  But I wanted it, so...

It's more now than what I paid 2 years ago...

Caught 20 crappies and perch last night and a bonus rainbow trout!  I plan on trying it for eyes next week after work.
Oh Lord - there he is, it feels like a big one, please don\'t let me lose him, I\'ve never caught one this big before.  I\'ll try not to horse him, and if I land him, I promise to release him, and make a graphite replica, if my wife says it\'s ok.  Thank you for the Rapalas...

Pretty sweet though ;) As long as you can justify it by using & enjoying it I say nothing's too expensive

HooHa!!  That's what I say!  Try telling that to the 'one who must be obeyed' tho, if you do take the long and lonely plunge of marriagedom!  Sometimes when girlfriend becomes wife, their attitudes change about your toys!  (Not that it stops me tho)  ;D 
New toys since I took the plunge 2 years ago:
4 premium rods.
4 icefishing set-ups
New shanty
New Nils Auger
Water Skeeter
Lowrance X68C
AquaVu
MinnKota 46lb elec motor
New muzzleloader
Probably more, but I better stop here in case she ever discovers this website!

Yeah, I did some thinking about that and made a BIG change Tuesday. Let's just say I'll have all the time I want to fish this summer ;)

Well, then, I don't see any reason why you can't make it out here for the walleye opener, and 36 holes! (1 beer per hole)!

:o :o  Whoa there Pikeguy, are you OFFICIALLY single again and I'm assuming that's a good thing ???   ;)

Yep, I decided Monday night after talking to a girl who's liked me for a good while and I can't say I didn't have some feelings for as well ;). The previous situation was at a critical juncture and it wasn't gonna work :-\

At a beer per hole...that could be sloppy golf!! :o Sounds like fun though!

Well when you first start dating a "new" girl things can get real busy for a while and at that point fishing can wait cause you'll have your hands full with "other" activities ;) :evil:  I wish my girlfriend would let me start dating again :w00t:

between your new place, gardening and walleye season, when are you going to have time for 'dating'?!    you keep your pole in the water...

Agreed, but I can dream a little, can't I, things like having two live in housekeepers from Sweden that look just like Tiger Wood's wife.  ;D
