A
Second Cast

So as the day went on, John started getting more jealous towards his wife after catching that trophy bass and started criticizing her in just about everything she did from that point on. Well, let me tell you guys a secret! "Never criticize a woman for catching bass" because a few moments later while I was looking in front of the boat while moving it up a bit with the trolling motor I heard John say something to Nancy in a sarcastic tone of voice and all of a sudden I heard a big splash in the water behind the boat.
I looked back and noticed that Nancy had just about enough of Johns sarcasm and pushed him into the water. I couldn't help but laugh (not that he didn't deserve it) but I tried to keep the humor to myself and helped John out of the water. John, being all wet said that was it for the first day and for me to head back to the launch area, so I did.
For the next two days, especially after eating some humble pie, John had changed his attitude and was convinced that women are just as good anglers as the men are and he was proud to have his wife as his partner (sounds to me like they had a good discussion last night). Nancy was a amazing student and adapted quickly to the many different baits, patterns, and techniques she was taught during the 3-day school period. John was also a good student when he finally started listening to me while teaching many different baits, and after he started catching bass on these new techniques, he realized that he didn't know as much as he thought.
All in all John and Nancy had a great time on the water learning many different baits, new techniques and patterns, but the greatest thing about the whole trip is that they both learned enough to take second place in their first tournament they had fished together. They had emailed me telling me this news, and to thank me again for all that I had taught them. They also mentioned that they wanted to enroll next season in the school again to learn even more!
To sum it up; even though you may fish an area with a certain bait and don't get a strike on it, change the technique and make that second cast, or even try a different bait before you move on. Secondly, always remember that women anglers can be (and some are!) just as good, if not better than men. As much as the men love the sport of bass fishing, why not for women to enjoy it as well?
