If you were on a destination fishing trip,

how sick would you have to be to lay in bed all day instead of fish?

I’ll let you know Monday when I return from Florida. 😉

You either have to be dead, or have Charlize Theron in your bed.

Just Googled “Charlize Theron”.

The beauty of many destinations is that they provide the wonderful opportunity to contract diseases that will leave you no choice.

Come on guys….you can do better than Charlize Theron.  Nothing but a bleached blonde Barbie type.

If Charlize is the low end of the scale then consider me a bottom feeder…..

near dead to not fish. dysentery makes you feel like your about to die so that counts.

True story… I was 12 and went on a trip to Florida to fish the flats with my Pop. We fished a couple of days and he started feeling extremely weak. I was 12 and did not know the whole story. He also had black stool. We fished another day and at the end of that day, Pop passed out on the floor. We drove to the hospital in Mayo and they told him to get back to Atlanta right away due to a peptic ulcer. At that point we drove back to the cabin in Steinhatchee. The next morning we did fish because we had to go get the boat anyway. Pop passed out again when we got back to the cabin. We had to get back to Atlanta and He was to weak to drive. I, 12 years of age drove, trailer in tow from Steinhatchee to Atlanta.

Up here in Ontario we have a park called “Alqonquin Park”. Kinda like Yellowstone but not..Growing up there was nothing I loved more than to get lost in there for a week or two. While not a “destination” trip in the classic sense (its only a 3hr drive away) in those days Id have had to be deathly ill not to go or tough it out.

One year I was 4 days into a two week loop trip and Bronchitis hit. Not something you’d normally associate with serious illness.

I would have to be pretty darn sick, but I don’t know if I am quite the bad ass that Kevin Powell’s dad was! That is a great story Kevin!

Pop refered to was my grand father. He had rather fish than eat.

My dad was more a bird hunter than a fisherman. He bought a llewelin setter the day I was born and taught me how to respect a shotgun at age 4 by showing what it feels like to shoot a 12 gauge while skeet shooting.

I think back and it is hard to believe I have made it this far. BUT now I have total respect for all of it.

Lando, I have an answer for your question – A BUZZING ROD.

[Mark Landerman]

I had that happen to me on the Clarks Fork one day.
