As long as this has gotten to the “more mature angler” issues...The older gentleman asks the druggist if he could cut the Viagra pills in half and then cut the half pills again into quarters. The druggist tells him a quarter dose isn’t going to make it stick out very far. The customer laughs and says, “That’s OK, I just want it far enough not to pee on my shoes!”
If you need more details, reading glasses will come 45-50, the pee jar around 60, forgetting where you put it around 65. Turning 70 is next month for me...the adventure continues.
Reminds me of the quote from a movie a watched awhile back. Old guy said he peed in Morse Code: Lot's a dashes and dots.. |

| Peeing with dashes and dots is natural for the more experienced musky hunter. One of these days I'm going to learn to code my messages to the world... |

It is imperative that the partner can clearly articulate what they are referring to.

| Thanks for the input everyone. Fun to see everyone's responses. It makes us all better boat partners. And for any newbie anglers out there, who are reading this and thinking "wow, I don't want to fish with any of these guys!" don't worry. most of us are pretty hard core about our fishing, but in the end we're all just out there to have a good time, have some laughs, and make sure everybody has a shot or two at catching a nice fish. It's teamwork out there, and there are a lot of things that I mentioned because years ago, I did them, having no idea that you should not.
So here's a don't that I bring up every so often: Please when I raise the biggest fish I have ever seen,and it's clearly coming to eat, do not jump up and down yelling and pointing at it. "OH MY GOD!! That's a HUGE FISH!! YOU GOT HER, YOU GOT HER!!!"
Proving once and for all that yes, you really can scare the poopy out of something.

| Oldest brother or life-long friend, simple like to be in the boat with these guys always fun never to heavy. Fishing: being outdoors, an occasional big one or (for walleye perch numbers) and fun w family - friends.
I'll add on occasion it's great to fish alone just for the quite (note: during the week mornings only). |

Location: SE, WI. | DRPEPIN - 8/15/2019 10:55 AM Don't splash your lure on the water trying to get your weeds off. That is my biggest issue with one friend I fish with,he does it with out thinking you may have a follow at any give time. Actually, slapping a lure on the surface, during a neutral follow, has actually triggered a strike with Vengance. JD |

If not, with either, I'm nearly sure to eventually walk off the front deck the wrong way. Hopefully Not with the Creature in your Hand;) JD |

| If someone has a follow, the partner should already be bringing in their lure and moving towards the net--in case the follow bites. On my last trip, my partner had a follow and I dropped my rod and was already headed for the net when he set the hook. The fish made one quick run and I was there to net it. As soon as the fish was in the net, the hook popped out on the 49 incher. I'm not sure how much longer that fish would have stayed on. So, a good boat partner is someone who gets the net before the fish is hooked.

| The other person should be good netman and better not throw your waste in the lake. |

I quit smoking over three decades ago but from what I remember, isn't that almost inevitable when smoking outside in the elements? Just a puff of wind and there goes a hot ash. |

Location: Neapolitan Chain Of Lakes | Best partner to me has been someone who is as completely opposite of me as we can both stand without peeing each other off beyond recovery. Just to add a few to above lists.
DO'S...........
1) Whoever's boat is being used on a trip (Local or long distance) please LITERALLY check and have spare tire(s) with proper air pressure and maybe even hub(s) assembly for the inevitable 2am failure in the deep woods.
2) Whoever's truck is being used on a trip (Local or long distance) make sure you have a real jack, lug wrench, and small essential tool set to use during possible changing of said spare tire or hub assembly while hearing strange noises in the thick woods at 2 am and seeing glowing eyeballs from headlamp.......in the deep woods.
3) Have a completely open mind when we are discussing possible fish locations and baits especially on a new body of water.
4) Try any presentation even if you're STRICTLY a caster and that 4 footer was caught while "I" was trolling to our next spot, etc.
5) Understand that there is a speed control knob on the trolling motor and how and when to use it.
6) Understand that at times the trolling motor can be off and we can quietly use the wind.
7) Make outlandish claims about fish, women, and yourself.
8) Be able to lighten or change the vibe....on occasion.....for example splash your rod in the water violently next to the boat like you got a boatside strike and laugh at me because i fell for it.
9) During long dry spells make a disgusting comment or ask a sophmoric question about where you draw the line on what you would do to obtain a million dollars.
10) Be able to say "You're absolutely F%&#ing crazy dude" and then go ahead and do it. (Not during lightning of course)
DONT'S.........
1) After having a tire blowout in the middle of the night, don't tell me you misplaced the key to unlock the underinflated spare, and then after digging relentlessly through the empty jack box behind the truck seat tell me you don't have a jack or a lug wrench either.
2) Have me meet you at the ramp after a long drive, loading all our gear, and backing you in while in your regal upright position feeling lofty and proud in your boat and then the big motor battery is dead cuz you didn't charge it.
3) Same as above but you didn't charge your trolling motor batteries and we have 1 bar on a windy day.
4) When in my boat don't eat your desert dry cracker sandwich while talking, laughing, and whistling chunks and pieces all over the carpet like a honey badger even if you do it in your boat.
5) Same as above with a sub sandwich oozing 5 ounces of mayo and mustard and chunks of meat to provide rotting smells later all over the carpet.
6) After a 48" fish is lost don't say at least it wasn't a 50
