  • Maybe (0 / 0)

    I do personally feel that I wouldn't have married a guy who picks fishing over his family.  The fish will still be there next week...the ice may have even melted off the lake by then!

    • I hope (0 / 0)

      most guys wouldn't choose to fish on the first day of fishing season over their families, but why deliberately put them in a position where they have to choose?  It seems like it really could cause conflict and resentment in some families.  Especially when you consider that Mother's Day moves around, I think.

      • It is crazy (0 / 0)

        But many, many men here make that choice.  The opener is always the second Saturday in May, so it's always the day before Mother's Day.  But like I said, if enough moms are mad about it, time to march on the Capitol!
