Well since I lost the 1st battle to my wife in Steves boat, I thought round 2 should be on foot, especially since I have been doing so well.
We arrived the harbor at 0615 and were fishing by 0630. My wife alreay had a swimbait set up on her chic rod and I had to put a rig on, so she started fishing right away. With in a few cast she got her 1st fish of the day. (Dammit)

We releaed her fish and I was ready to fish and started working my magic. Was not long and she landed this one.

We continued the working the area, and I was getting worried that I was on a down hill run with no breaks. Then she confirmed my thoughts with this one.

Now I am really worried, I have not even had a hit yet? Okay, I still have a chance, it is only 3 fish so far, I can make em up (At least I thought, until she pulled this one in).

Another view, thats a spottie to be proud of. And I of course knew there was no stopping her and her Bass Widow tactics!

We kept making some moves and I finally landed my first fish, it was smaller model and not picture worthy at this point. Right after the release I got number 2 for me and it was a nicer fish.

The score is now 4-2 her lead, does not seem that far away again. Till this happened.

She got another one after this one that we did not photograph.

Hands down she kicked my ***** this morning. She is a great fisher chic! We left the Harbor at 1000.

Final Score:
Rebecca (Bass Widow) 6
Eddie (Lewser boy) 2

Hmmm I dont know what I will pick for round 3, if I can even bring myself to challenging her again.

Nice fish! It's funny...Whenever I take out the wife, she ALWAYS catches the most AND biggest fish. And this even happened before we got married when we would be bass fishing down at Henshaw or El Cap or wherever we went! Women have a certain kind of touch or feeling for that little subtle bite I guess. Hey when you fish those dock areas, what pound test line do you use. Don't you have a problem of the fish swimming into and around the pilings and breaking off?

Nice fish Rebecca. That is one of the biggest spotties I've ever seen. Nice to know who's boss in the family. J/K.

Good job both of you.

NICE JOB REBECCA!!!!!!!!!:Thumbs Up::Big Smile:

This just proves that I was not at all an impartial judge at the first battle on my boat!!!!!!:Dancing Banana:

I see a lot of Eddie doing more of the Mother duties in the near future while you make more trips to NPH in hope of curing you new disease "SPOTTED FEVER"!!!!!!!!:ROFL::ROFL::ROFL:

Awesome Day there Rebecca!!!! :Applause::Beer Toast::UDaMan:

I now know why he tried to convince me to go for a same day return trip for the evening bite as I currently have a cold stick and he needed some therapy!!!!!!!

Can't wait to see how you are going to better this trip, but I know you will!!!!!:Big Smile:

Eddie,

I just noticed a very suttle message Becky is giving you in almost all the photos from this trip and the boat battle!!!!!! :Big Grin:

Probably just a comfy way to handle the fish though for her!!!!!:Rolls Eyes:
