Fishing For Answers

Bout it Mongoose,

I read that you like to fish and hunt, I’ve been fishing Nolin for several years, nearly all the Friday night tournaments.  I can’t seem to ever win and my wife stays mad at me.  What can I do to make her feel better? 

Dear Fishing for Answers,

A bad day of fishing beats a good day at work, it also beats valium, heart attacks and $75/hour therapy.  I firmly believe everyone needs a hobby, life is nothing more than constant juggling while walking a tightrope stretched across a deep pit filled with alligators, lava and sharks just waiting to devour you.  All work and no play not only makes Jack a dull boy but can also cause him to lose his balance and fall right into the middle of a Sharknado.  I personally love to fish, with my crazy work schedule, between writing for Time Magazine, Field & Stream and all the award ceremonies I have to attend (all lies), I rarely get the chance.  Occasionally though, my wife will actually demand I go fish to keep me from busting down doors or having a stress related stroke.  Talk to your wife, let her know that fishing is not just a hobby, its therapy.  The obvious thing to do is ask her to go, if she goes and hates it—you win, if she goes and likes it—you win, if she says she doesn’t want to go—you still win since you thought of her.
We'll See Ya, 
Mongoose
