And I thought I was bad.
I lay there before every trip whether it is launched from home base down hwy 70 at 230 a.m.
Is the trailer hooked up?, extra brake fluid? I got enough bait? Maybe I should get up and get some extra dink rigs out....well what if I get there and the wahoo are chewing, don't forget the can of wire. My god, it is warm in here, better turn the ceiling fan on and kick the air up a notch. Who is that snoring, maybe I did fall asleep. What time is it? Crap only 2 more hours and I gotta get up. Why can't I find the cold side of the pillow. I hope the ramp ain't crowded. What if Noaa misses it?
Or out of Morehead:
Alright, gotta be on my game tommorow, What if I miss the gaff shot, Marty will have my ass, God please let all my baits run true, if they spin I will never hear the end of it. Oh crap, wahoo time, I hope the lord up high that all the wire uncoils right cause if it don't Capt Brian or Marty will be burning a hole in my shoulder blades with eyes of fury like whatthehellisthisguydoing?. Did the planer rod just bounce? What if it did not? If I pull it in to check it I will not have all the baits in the spread at once, if it did get bit and Marty pulls it in without a bait I am screwed too. ZZZT, did you guys here that? maybe it was just me? Damn I am dying here if I turn my back to get a drink it is going to go down and will not be able to keep an eye on the rods assigned to me. Oh crap, scattered grass, I hope that I can get to it before Capt Brian sees it..................yeah right!
Or out of Insert marina name here:
Then my all time favorite aboard the Tuna Taxi last summer DU time. Fast alseep on the floor, get up answer natures call, try to fall back asleep and I got a quiver of Tiagra's hanging above me. I hope those rod holders are secure, what would happen if that 80 fell of, Yeah it would crush my scull and nothing I could do about it. maybe I should move over, naw it should stay tight. I betcha if if it did fall I could move quick enough.
Funny how the mind never quits working when your amped up and the most random things seem to come to surface.
Glad it ain't me that feels like this before every trip. But you know I would not trade it for anything in the world!
