no. 64: buy a new fishing pole.

i'm already crossing things off my list!  okay, so i didn't actually buy this pole, but i got it for mother's day!  the story behind this pole goes something like this:

i've never had 'my own' pole.  i think i've always just used one of matt's.  this year, all of the girls were getting pink fishing poles to go fishing with.  i figured this was just the excuse i needed to ask matt for a new pole.  so i did.  he laughed when i asked him for a pink fishing pole.  then he told me he was going to buy me a kid's barbie fishing pole.  i was not amused.  anyways, thursday came and we were packing our stuff up and sure enough, in a bag in the truck was the sweet barbie pole.  i could not believe it.  i was going to be the dork with a 2.6' fishing pole with a freaking push reel.  nice.  we got out to his parents and i was telling his mom about the pole matt had bought me.  just then, i turned around and matt was holding the ugly stik!  yep, that's right.  he had bought me my new pink fishing pole - the ugly stik made by shakespeare!  i was so happy!  he said it was my mother's day present.  aaaahhhh.  :)

oh, and it must be lucky because the first three casts i tossed in - i caught three northerns!  my grand total for opening weekend was five northerns.  i didn't catch any walleye's - maybe next time!

i think i would have been better off with your barbie fishing pole. my pink rod (with a freaking push reel) was a piece of poo! everytime i casted i caught a snag on the bottom of the lake, not only that but i had to bang the reel against the side of the boat in order to reel in any line. horrible. no wonder i didn't catch anything. i need an ugly stik. a pink ugly stik. but anyway, i had a great time. i just loved being out on the lake again, even if i was in an ol faded green boat that kept breakin down! can't wait to do it again!
