All set for all kinds of fishing this spring

[hmgROCK]

6 hours it not really long
you need a fishing buddy to talk to in the car
it goes by fast

i get tired of fishing these local lake
too easy

need more challenge
going into unknown lake/river and just fish

I'm usually not alone. The only time I go alone is when I'm going out of the country or to my usual, annual resort getaway.

Two years ago, I took a whole family fishing. They asked me to take them two hours to my favorite spot that normally would catch a lot. We got there. They set up their camps and started cooking and drinking. I was the only one fishing all night.

That was fun. But I don't want to take people like that with me again.

[hmgROCK]

Damn dude
I just set bait and go eat and drink beer
Put some fishing bell
And have fun

I do that with my wife

Sucker and catfish

I've sort of haven't gone fishing in part due to the stupid racism and looting.  I just don't feel like getting into any kind of altercations.

The right to carry concealedly is upon us and more of that right is being exercised by many now than ever before.

It helps to pay attention to our surroundings, too, which I hadn't until now.

A few years ago, I went to fish at the dam and waterfall  at Cannon Falls on Highway 19 from Hastings. In the past, there were usually a lot of people. But that day I was alone. After slipping down the hill over a few snakes to the edge of the water, I caught one white bass and one bullhead. It also felt creepy. So, I took off.

I told my cousins about how I was so surprised no one was there. That was usually a good spot for walleys, pikes, muskies, white bass--besides drums and bullheads. They said Hmong people don't go there anymore because of a racial incident...A Hmong guy and his teenage son were fishing. The son was by the dam while the guy fished downstream. He heard his son cry "Dad!" The guy rushed back and two White guys were already holding the boy's arms and about to beat him up. The guy screamed to them and ran to them. He took out his pistol and pointed it right on one of the white guys' head and told them to leave. They did.

I don't think Hmong and White people fish there ever again.

Might have to get a wife from  Thailand to go fish with. Hmong-Miskas chicks hit the bars more than the lakes and streams.

my wife always tag along
she don't fish
just bring her lawn chair and read a book and watch me fish
been bring the ipad, i got her lately

[Reporter]

I haven't met a local chick who might tag along to the lakes and streams. We'll see.

I keep saying Hmong American girls are much better than those in Laos. But if it's about fishing, I haven't found one who is just as ok with it as I am.

My wife is hmong American
You gotta work at it in relationships
Gotta be in love too

[Reporter]

True.

That's the hard part. Can't always find someone who's in love with fishing. I can't focus on just fishing or her love of fishing, of course. It has to
be someone who's in love with me.

But I'm hoping for both, since fishing has  been my life all along and will continue to be.

Almost time fella
Brush those dust of your pole

[hmgROCK]

Almost that time of the year again
The birds are coming back
Snow melting

Lots of lures to play around with and lots of rods to try them lures on.
