A cheap lighter for BK and Justin. I don't know how he does it, but The Kid easily goes through and/or loses at least 6 lighters on every trip! Heck, he has 15 in the boat right now and not one them works!

Parker

LOL LOL LOL funny parker, I was just wondering the same thing. Hey, but the cookouts have been fun!

Lets see......
Spare lighter
extra smokes (for those Closet smokers,you know who you are
T.P.

Sense of Humor....I might forget TP but I never leave home with out this one......Os

Copenhagen

Any one of those entries in the "Babes in Waders" calendar that was posted awhile back.

French ticklers, KY Jelly, strap-OH WAIT.....WRONG TRIP

Nevermind..... :p

Hey Backlash, ya mean you don't take those things on fishing trips also? Man, you are missing out!

Just don't share the details of your trips with Stew on the Wilson with my 'other' fishy items

I know the catching is probably pretty slow most of the time for you two Oreguners, but take a football, or a radio for cryin' out loud

Ahh, scratch the football, I've heard about the size of your butts(they look like two pigs fightin' over a milk dud) :p

Experienced pig watcher Backlash? Milk duds? $100 hookers that can't even get you off of 'em? And you somehow sneaked a look at out backsides? Geeez, whats up with all that [Bleeeeep!]? ... Oh ya, you're from Richland. Nevermind. :p

Back on subject:

- No one mentioned a lifejacket. (just putting that in there for the '*******' from hell)

Ol' Todd's got his act together, no doubt about it. The attitude is, by far, the most important piece of fishing tackle. The rivers, the bays, and the ocean we fish are among the most beautiful places on earth. People who manage to maintain a rotten point of view while so engaged need more bran in their diet to say the least.

Also, whether in the old Glas Ply or the old Don Hill, I like to throw in a few dry towels, maybe two Fuente 858's, and a small but elegant flask of Jack Daniels. There's nothing like releasing a wild one and toasting your (notto mention the fish's) good luck.

Stinky green corkies! When ever I tie my leaders with em' I can really fish with confidence. It really puts me in the zone......srikezone. What time is it?

Closet smoker?

Hey I would have put one of those smokes in my lip, but the paper would have made a mess. When you're dumb enough to leave your 'hagen in the truck, I guess you deserve to be called a closet smoker.

I always gotta have my H.Upmanns.

Cigar

When I go fishing at Hoodsport, I always bring my portable ultrasonik pest away. Everytime I hook into a fish, it automatically sends out a high piercing decible only audible to people that crowd in when I'm playing a fish. Got it on that infomercial last year......

"DO THE WILD THANG"

My favorite B.C. guide. I will trade her number for a bunch of nail polish pearl okies.

Oh yeah, how could I have fogotten about the green corky in size 4.20...always a necessity on the greenwater.

A custom knitted sock for my third leg.

Food,Food,Food!!!

OK, other than all the great items already mentioned, all of them must haves. ( my fishing vest usually weighs anout 12 lbs) The thing I hate to go fishing without, is at least one of my three sons, all three is even better. As time goes by and lives change, for better or worse, you realize how important those shared day's on the river are or were. I would love to spend more time fishing with my boys ( all grown men with famlies of their own) If you still have sons or daughters at home take'em fishing every chance you get. Life is truly short and time flies, as they say.
How'd I get this damn old?

Ah right, fess up people. How many of you can't leave home without them damn [Bleeeeep!] smellin' C-GARS?

For me it's gotta be my rubbers (waders), WORM blower, lubrication (for the reel), peanus (no, I didn't spell peanuts wrong, get you're damn mind out of the gutter!), on occasion a little pie (I like mine American!), some of those hard--on wader patches, and a pump if needed to increase the size of my...RAFT (quit thinkin' like that!).
