Required in a Cat Boat??

Welcome to IDO Mike!

You trouble maker….

What’s the big deal? I like to go fishing with my wife, and if that’s what it takes to get her out there, it’s all right with me. And personally, I like it that Mallory wants to stay clean and not get all bloody and slimy like me…

You just keep on doing what your doing. I can’t get my wife to touch a cat even with gloves on!

Heck, she shocked me this spring holding a sturgeon even though she was crying for me to take it before I finished with the photos.

Mallory is one up on many of the guys here. She was holding that cat without any gloves!

I’m lucky to have a wife that prides herself on baiting her own hooks and unhooking her own fish.

She stops short of cleaning them, though…

When she’s fishin, she even wipes worm dirt and fish slime off on her jeans!

Actually didn’t mind touching it at all, felt kinda cool. And I stuck my hand in there like a champ I think, although the idea creeped me out. I told Mike the next cat I catch I would kiss it, just for you two.(And I will have a picture to prove it)

Now, about that sanitizing lip balm that doesn’t exist… maybe it would be more appropriate in this case to bring mouthwash?

Now that’s impressive. My wife gagged when she saw my one pic of me kissing the first 15#+ cat I ever caught…

And yes, there’s nothing as cool feeling as the slippery-yet-alive feeling of a cat. Unless you’re trying to clean fish, then it’s just a pain in the heinie.

The Surgeon General would have a hayday out in my boat.

Let’s see. Hand first goes into worm bucket to catch bait. Hand removes bait which at times is gut hooked. Then hand baits main hook. Then hand opens beer, Then hand scratches swimsuit area itchy body parts. Then hand fiddles with thermacell chemical pad. Then beer makes it’s way through kidney so hand has to do you know what. At the same time, the clicker goes off (it always does) and hand gets slimy from removing fish. Then hand goes back into bait bucket to toss out again. Sit down and hand goes into sunflower seed container……right to mouth.

Oh but wait……BUMP!….. bottle gets passed around

Hi Honey, I’m home

Nice! Dtro, you like Hot 100? if so, we need to fish together…

Hot 100, that might make some good disinfectant/sanitizer in and of itself. I think that’s the biggest ingredient in those sanitizers and whatnot anyway, alcohol. You kill 2 birds with 1 stone if you get something that you can drink too!

Might come in handy if you ever get a hook in your hand (or anywhere else for that matter).
