Hmmm... Sounds to me like she's trying to get you out of the house.

The Bait Monkey tries to kill me daily. I have a Bass Pro Shop, Gander Mountain, Dick's Sporting Goods, Walmart, and Green Tops Sporting Goods all within 3 miles of my office. It's almost a weekly calling for me... during the summer especially! Sometimes I go to BPS just to get out of the office... bad idea!

it is nice having a wife that understands fishing and doesn't complain isn't it, my wife loves to fish and never complains about the fishing expenses. the problem is sometimes i kinda count on here to tell me when i am getting carried away because most of the time i can't stop myself, and when she just goes along with it then next thing i know i get home and think i lost my mind.

it is pretty nice and from the sounds of it, its pretty rare. the funny thing is is that she grew up in the city and i moved her to the country and now she likes shooting shot guns and slinging bass rods.

when my wife and i started dating she had never been fishing or hunting either one. now she can pick up any one of my baitcasters and keep up with anyone i know cast for cast. she is also a deer hunting and clay pigeon busting fool.

without a doubt she is my favorite fishing buddy (and she didn't even make me type that).

My wife don't ever say anything either, when ever she sees a new lure laying around I just tell her the bassinbandit bought it. Naw just kidding with her running the dog rescue and 15+/- dogs around here she ain't got time to keep up with me, the bandit and the BAIT MONKEY

Get your Groceries and Fishing Tackle, that's the trouble with those big Super Stores like WalMart and Meijers, you have the Bait Monkey telling ya that you need that shiney new chrome and blue ratLtrap as your grabbing that loaf of bread.
