After playing for for most of the past week and doing pretty decent, I decided to take a break and get out of the house, spend some quality time with the family. I live out in the country, in a nice little community of mostly retired or farming folks. A ways down the road from my house, there are five good sized lakes stocked with all kinds of fish, crappie, bass, catfish, a bunch of perch and even a few beavers sometimes make a nice appearence.
I got my fishing gear together and heading down to the country corner store, where I got a box of worms and a bag of minners, a pack of smokes and a 12 pack of beer. My wife enjoys fishing too, and she came along for the trip too. We have a five month old beautiful duaghter that really gets a kick out of the great outdoors, and she goes nuts when ever one of us catches a turtle for some reason. The old dirt roads out here beckon me to the lake, and even though my wife dont believe me i do actually enjoy these lil trips.
We ending up staying staying til almost dark and cuaght a few good keepers. Fortunately we didnt catch any turtles, becuase my wifes idiotic uncle showed up and he likes to chop the heads off em for some dumb hick reason.lol
It is great to get away from the hectic and sometimes stressful life of always trying to be the best at poker, the best at tournament the best at sng's. I find our trips give me a refrshing outlook on life, and gives me time to think about the truly important things in my life.
