Whoever I take fishing is going to catch more than me! LOL (This includes the wife)

for some reason, your fishing spot is always better than mine.

A James River Fishing guide for Flatheads and Blue Cats (Mike Ostrander) taught my son what he called the Rapala prayer. You say "Rafaelo Rapala" three times and spit over your left shoulder. My son does this ever trip and it works.

So if the fish aren't biting - try it and see if it works.

I was also thinking "red on the head - good in bed" but then I remembered we're talking fishing.

yeah, and how many times does that first fish come WHILE peeing in the water...

Many and a few in a tournament. If it's tourney day I will finish zipping when the fish is in the boat

My uncle always said this about peeing over the gunnel in a spot with lots of other boats around: "If it's that small, they won't see it at all. If it's that big, they'll stand in aw." ...'Still haven't seen anybody stand in aw...

Mike that was a good read I enjoyed it .

I had to stop peeing over the side during tournaments because I kept getting DQ'd for using live bait. I don't really mind though because the water was always cold.....and really deep too

While looking for a spot on the lake:
"If there's birds, there's fish"

If a skier is bothering you my friends dad use to say:
"Come on back around I'm tying on my rattletrap you

er"

My favorite, It has happened twice to me on my fist ever bass and on my 8lb personal bass:
"You are'nt going to catch anything" Next cast.. BAM!!!

If I can't hit you with mycrankbait, you don't have to worry about me trying.

I will borrow one of my buddies and share:
"If there's water. There's fish"

Also side note Mike great job on the Shade article!
