I was in my old stomping grounds in Athens this weekend, showing a girl I'm seeing my familys old house and the pond I used to fly fish in when I was young. I was about to give her a kiss when I saw a monster carp swimming near the bank. Holy $hit I said as I ran down to the water like I was 10 years old again. Look at that fish I said pointing "will you look at that!" That thing must have been 2 1/2 feet! Then as I looked were the carp was headed, I saw two more in the same size, losing all thoughts of romance, I began thinking is the rod in the jeep! Do I have a popper I can throw! Would ya know it, the rod was at the house as I wept next to the pond. Girl looking on, wondering what's wrong with this guy and why is looking for a long stick, some kind of thread, and a hook. J.

You just have to get your priorities in order. The fishing equipment goes in the Jeep first, then the dog and then the properly stocked ice chest. If there is any room left, then the girl gets to ride along.

She can ride anytime, she's not bad to look at, she enjoys a good beer, and will share a Don Diego with ya. Oh ya, she Georgia fan as well! What more could you ask for. J. Byrd

In that case, she can get in the Jeep right after the fishing gear. A Don Diego and a beer?-maybe you should just forget the fishing gear. http://www.georgia-outdoors.com/ubbngto/smile.gif
