Why did I buy a boat!?! lol

[Billy Boy]

Because we love to fish! If you consider the cost of the boat, insurance, maintenance, repairs, fuel, bait, etc. most people are paying a couple hundred bucks a pound for fish. A bad day fishing is better than most anything else you could do. I’m happy with an average day, but those few days a year that everything clicks makes it all worth while. I had a walleye day a couple months ago that I didn’t even get the first diver out 40 feet, and had a hook up. Limited in about 45 minutes. Or perch day with no by catch, and only 10”+. Those are the days that you bought your boat for! I could fish every day all day, and never get tired of it. Don’t even get me started on ocean fishing! Lol! I know you’re not really complaining. Sorry about your luck with the lift.

Absolutely, Billy Boy. As I said...wouldn't change a thing! Perch fished with my 75 year-old father in an ancient 10' Sears boat about 8 years back before he passed. We limited out on monster perch in no time....down and up! Could not put a price on the smile on my father's face.
