It's official, the fishing season has begun. Yep, my license has been purchased and on Saturday I christened the new fishing year by catching my first fish. The fish was caught using my favorite lure, The Mill Hollow Special, combined with the Powerbait technique. He wasn't a huge fish, but he was a fish. Not just a fish, but the first fish of the year. It was awesome to finally be back outdoors and fishing again. I have created another post, Fishing Tracker, so you can stay up on my fishing adventures. Hope you enjoy it.
In other news, I went to Wendover this weekend. This was one of my best trips to date. 'Lipe and I took off at about 6:30 or so on Friday night. We both started out with Texas Holdem. I got my usual crappy play and lost about $35, total to date $70. 'Lipe finished up about $100 or so, if I remember correctly. He got awesome hands and even one with the job interview tweezers, suited two - three. After Poker we ventured out and played some Pai Gow. We both did pretty good at Pai Gow and I think I got back to about $20. I started with $50 for the night. We then went to convince our other friend; we will call him Bob, to come hang out with us at the bar. NO, I still do not drink, but 'Lipe was quick to indulge. This is where the night took a turn for the worst. We played the most evil slot machine game ever, Leopard Spots. This game makes me cringe just thinking about it. I hate this game, but it is so addictive. Fun little animal pictures bonus spins and our constant chanting of "Spots, Spots". Please if you see me play Leopard Spots again, slap me. We lost about $80 on this game over all. Mostly I helped 'Lipe lose his money, but we still lost a lot. Finally we pulled ourselves away from the bar, one of us was very, very drunk. Me and drunky Dan then headed back to the Pai Gow table. He could barely do anything beyond hold his cards, but he did not need to function, because I was their to back him up. Lady luck really made her appearance here. The very first Pai Gow hand 'Lipe got was a straight flush. A straight freaking flush! This is awesome because he bet five dollars on the fortune bet and this pays 50 to 1. He hit a $250 payout. It was incredible. He then played more games and ended up winning more money. He helped me get back to break even status by giving me some Pai Gow money to play with. I ended up winning $25 dollars and broke even for the night at $50. Where the real amazing luck happened was the Craps table. 'Lipe had never played craps in his life. We played the pass line for $10 a throw, and after about 20 minutes and probably 10 times of throwing the dice off the table, 'Lipe had made $100. It was great luck. After this last gambling string, we finally headed for home. We left at 6:30 am the next morning. I had been up for over 24 hours and was more than ready to get home. This was a freaking awesome time. I don't think I have had more fun in Wendover before.
Well that is all, check out my Fishing Tracker and luck be with you.
