please forgive me if this is posted in the wrong place but i have to tell about my best fishing buddy.her name was becky,she and i fished together for almost 18 years.we had a standing bet as to who caught the first keeper fish for one dollar.i think over the years she beat me.if you havent figured it out yet she was also the love of my life.i lost her to cancer november twelth.i dont know if i will ever enjoy fishing again.i was always amazed at her because nothing got her goat,she always seen the best side of everything.i guess even me.one of the remarketable things about her is what i called her magic bag.the first time she carried it on board i laughed,i asked her if she was going somewhere for the week,she just gave me that little grin and got in the boat.i know some of you may not beleive this but any time i needed just about anything she had it in her bag.the thing could of been aspirin,allergy medicene,rain gear,dry clothes etc.i know about the dry clothes when the rope broke about midnight when we were backing the boat in.i had to go swimming in freezing water and wearing sweats and tennis shoes,thats another story.i just want to end this by saying if your other half is your fishing buddy then cherish her,you never know when you may lose her. older semperfi-GOD BLESS
