Oh, for crying out loud Jess, can't you catch a break? I actually felt my forehead start to get heated when I read "I know I can't tell you not to fish, but if you could find it in your heart to not cast in those situations I would really appreciate it". How close were you to telling him to go f**k himself? I guess you have to be ever so diligent out there while building relationships and keeping your reputation clean.
Again, thanks for taking the time to post everything, keeping us to date and for showing us the not so pretty side of the sport.
Great pictures of the Wisteria. I believe they are non-native to the States and somewhat invasive, too.

Don't doubt in the dark what you learned in the light.
