Title: Close call this morning
Post by: Doubles Shooter on Jul 17, 2019, 06:59 AM
I was getting a cup of coffee this morning when I noticed the cat staring at something by the door. I checked it out and saw a big night crawler. I was trying to figure out how it got under a tight sealed door when it hit. OMG, the bait in the fridge. I went fishing with my grandson and put the worms in the bottom of the refrigerator when we got back. I opened the door and sure enough, escape! SWMBO has let me keep bait there for the 39 years we have been together, but said in no uncertain terms, one more escape, it's over.
Well I rounded up the escapees and had the fridge cleaned before she woke up.
Big man and I had fun fishing. Not many but enough.

That's funny! My Bride has always been pretty tolerant of bait in the fridge.....until......I had a bin of crayfish in there. She found a few escapees when she went to get something out of e fridge. I wasn't home at the time. She shut the door and laid down the law when I got home.

Can't say as I blame her. Went out and bought a small fridge for the basement.

I think every fisherman has forgotten bait at some point in time.

Well played, Sir.  i'd bet more than a few of us had been in a similar situation.  I taught high school biology for many years and my dear wife was most tolerant of my using the fridge to hold specimens and cultures.  As a counter point,
several friends have asked why I douse my hotdog/12 herb and spice surefire catfish jug baits with green jello powder.
The answer is simple. That way, it doesn't wind up in the mac and cheese on "leftovers night"...

hot & gettin' hotter in the midwest,

fish on,

Oh heck I've got you guys beat! As a taxidermist the wife was going to take a bath only to find a dead coyote thawing in the bathtub. And then there was that squirrel thawing in the refrigerator on top of the only Diet Coke she had been salivating about on the way home from work on a hot day. She should have been happy. I usually ended up drinking the last can before she got home!

The cardinal sin was doing nothing but fish the first three days of our honeymoon. The wife finally broke down and cried, and said, "Is this what we're going to do every day of our honeymoon?!"  Then and there I knew as being a selfish bastard, and replied with, "No babe I'll stop fishing and you can clean the fish."

Thanks. Both Little Man and his sister love to fish. She caught her first bass two days after her 2nd birthday.

And he was still married to her years later!
No doubt he had to do some remedial training. I know I did.

Good one was when NYS asked you to send in a foot from your turkey kills. I had one in the rafter in the basement near where the washer and dryer are. Well the foot decided to drop on the wife's head who has a very full head of hair and the more she tried to kill whatever it was the better it got tangled. In her mind it was a tarantula. I almost died twice that day of laughter and at her hand.

I don't EVER bring it up, but there was the time the live eels got out in the frig after a late night of striper fishing... That did not go over well... Especially the one that I missed under the vegetable bin and found weeks later, dormant and covered in thick slime. The good news is that when thrown on a hook, it came back to life and caught me a striper!

Just had our 35th, I am a lucky guy she puts up with it all.
