A man calls home to his wife and says, "Honey, I have been asked to fly to Canada with my boss and several of his friends for fishing. We'll be gone for the long weekend. This is a good opportunity for me to get that promotion I've been wanting so could you please pack enough clothes for a three-day weekend.".. And also would you get out my rod and tackle box from the attic? We're leaving at 4:30 pm from the office and I will swing by the house to pick my things up ... "Oh! And please pack my new navy blue silk pajamas."

The wife thinks this sounds a bit odd but, being the good wife, she does exactly what her husband asked.
Following the long weekend he came home a little tired but, otherwise, looking good. The wife welcomes him home and asks if he caught many fish? He says, "Yes! Lots of Walleyes, some Bass, and a few Pike He continued, "But why didn't you pack my new blue silk pajamas like I asked you to do?"
You'll love the answer.
The wife replies, "I did, they're in your tackle box."
Never, never, never try to outsmart a woman!!!

I already told my grown boys that they know where everything is. Don’t fight over it.
My son worked as a cashier at Academy Sports and early in his job, he was surprised by how many men would come to the counter with fishing tackle and put them in two piles: one for the credit card and one to be paid in cash. When he asked one of the guys why, he was told that he didn't want his wife to know how much he spent on fishing tackle.
How many of us would say the same thing about firearms?

“From one angler to another. My greatest fear after I die is, my wife will sell all my tackle for what I told her I spent for it, as opposed what it’s actually worth.“
I can’t get away with that for fishing tackle or for guns. Mrs. L is quite fond of both activities. So I’m always careful to spend just a bit more on her stuff than I do on mine. For instance the handguard for her AR cost 3 times what I spent on mine:

She had the charging handle and BTE trigger cerakoted to match. The 16 inch chrome moly fluted barrel is pretty sweet, too. She can’t wait to show it off at the Zombie Shoot in September:
Buying her 1911 was painful. She fell in love with the Kimber Raptor:

She looks absolutely bad ass in the 5-11 LBE she set up. I have had men sidle up to me when she’s shooting and ask “where in the hell did you find her and are there anymore available?”
“She’s pretty much one of a kind.” is all I can say.
Her favorite rod is a St. Croix in purple, of course. Been smacking some lunker largemouth bass in one of the local lakes lately. She even baits her own hooks. Well, she does draw the line at live leeches. We have a guided Muskie hunt planned for next month. I’m sure she’ll land a 5 footer and make me look like a rookie....
Enjoy your day.

What firearms?
Honey, I need to buy all this fishing gear to try to recover all those guns I lost in that boating accident...
Now that your boat sank how are you going to do that?
All is lost......
My brother-in-law is a hard core fisherman. When he brings a salmon home, my sister always reminds him "That's a nice $200/pound salmon, Bill"
Heh - I fished at Kinkaid Lake in S. IL about a month ago. Not for muskies - I really don’t have the right lures. “Eater” size catfish (1-5 lb.) were more my target. I had no success, though, possibly because a large Muskie that had to be every bit of 4’, swam right past me, a few feet away, near the surface. I was suitably impressed! A bit later, an even longer flathead catfish went by, in almost exactly the same spot. That was yet more impressive. (The biggest flattie I ever caught was “only” 36” long.)
I suspect my “eaters” were either supper for something else, or vamoosed!
Those who never joined the Free Republic Boating Club may have firearms. Sadly, I'm a boater, and . . .
