I had two finals today and one tomorrow then I am done... I graduate with my BBA in Accounting from SMU on Sat. It has been a long time, but it has paid off.

[Terry Smith]

Only once A year to keep up on licenses.

[BassManDan]

Oh the wonders of college! You'd think that after 5 years of college I'd be smarter than to go back for another 2

Keep your chin up, it all pays off when you get that fancy paper with the calligraphy writin that says ya did something good!!!

Find a little bit of time to fish, it'll keep your brains in order!

All the best,

BassManDan

[Steve Reed]

I"m in the middle of them right now!!!! I can't get myself to study anymore, but i guess 2 more days of studying is worth some good grades

[Phil Burgess]

JUST MAKE SURE YOU FIND YOURSELF A GOOD JOB I HAVE A TON OF BUDDIES WITH DEGREES THAT CANT FIND A GOOD JOB!!!!!!

[parker]

Im only in high school so I guess it doesn't matter that much but it just sucks having to study so much.

I knew I should have made those note cards earlier instead of the night before

I probably should be studyin right now

I caught my pb in a farm pond in north carolina last year while taking a "study break"

the funny thing was I had a dream the night before I went to that pond and caught a giant on my first cast

I caught it on my second cast but it was still a weird coincidence

I saw her spawnin the year before- atleast two or three pounds lighter- but i couldnt catch her

froze my buns off that day and didn't catch another after a couple of hours of fisihn

that boulder was always good for one er two in that pond

to bad I cant fish it amymore

enough of my rambling though I gotta study for spanish

[mcsanders]

Congrats on graduating Peter Lloyd.

[RyanThoni]

Got one left. Im a big fish in a small pond in this class, so its smooth sailing from here on out (intro to fish and wildlife ecology). Got the boat gassed up guna fish sat, sun, mon, tues!

Steve, I think we are fishin monday eh? I didnt notice you hit up this bored.

[big bass beckstrom]

Parker i am feeling the same pain. I am in high school too, and we have finals a week after winter break but i will still get out there.


Elliott

[Steve Reed]

yeah monday for sure

[Marlowe]

I am in my 30's and in law school. Yes it's never to late to learn some new tricks. I came on here to take a study break to get away from school and noticed this post. I have my last final tomorrow in Professional Responsibility and Ethics (yes the core of all lawyer jokes subject) . Anyways next year is my final year. Can't wait to get this all behind me.

Jon

[BassManDan]

Lawyer humor, neat! I'd break out some fisheries humor, but probly no one here would get it!!

And for all you yung'ins out there, just wait till you get to classes like Multivariate Biometry and crap like that, its a long road from Geometry and Algebra II

Finals weeks......when the energy drink makers finally get into the black on the revenue charts

Study hard,

BassManDan

[getalife]

There is nothing more important than your education. I know since I took 7 years to complete a 4 year degree. Study hard, get a good job, and THEN worry about the boat and the Loomis rods.

[RyanThoni]

Yo Dan,

What do you do? Something fish related it seems? Lets hear your fisheries humor...

[thejerbs]

DONE!!!!! Took my last one yesterday. Walking on sunday, then I have one more presentation on monday. Who has a preso the day after they graduate

Soooo stoked! 4 1/2 years it took me, but well worth it.

parker...high school is just as important, if not more so then college.
I just wish I knew that when I went.

[BassManDan]

Fisheries Humor.....

It's pretty much all inside jokes, simply because most people don't encounter the terminology in any facet of life. then the other ones are usually just bagging on trout fisherman, but here we go!

A classic opener:
Q: What is the gayest fish on the planet?
A: The don't call it a "rainbow trout" for nothin'!

Alright, now to the stuff no one will get...With translations.

"I'm sorry, there are no retia permitted in my vessel!"
Translation: No nets in my boat!

"I just equilibrated the ionic balance in my immediate environment"
Translation: "I just pee'd in the lake"

Those are the ones I use pretty frequently, I'll post up some more later!

So if you caught multiple centrarchids or other teleosts, they wouldn't be allowed in your boat? As in rete mirabile on the gas bladder?????

And indeed, O. mykiss is what you say it is! That's how it got the specific name. XXxXX or XYxXY, either way. They also have been banned from cannibalism of eggs in the landmark Roe vs. Milt case.

HAR!

WOW thats DEEP

[Chad L. Dwyer]

I'm in my mid-thirtys and been out of school for a long time. I guess my next exam will be with Dr. Jelly Fingers

Makes me miss school!

[mac (Doyle McEwen)]

Chad, remember to smile..

mac

[Chad L. Dwyer]

Are you speaking from experience

Nevermind, I'm not sure I want to know

[mac (Doyle McEwen)]

Unfortunately.......We all hopefully will reach that age where it is a good idea to have it done..

[BassManDan]

Milt v. Roe...GOLDEN.
And dont forget the famous river crossing case Row v. Wade!!

All Right someone got the retia joke, Wicked!
That whole joke went from net, to "wonderful net", to retia and it just kinda stuck, its really funny when people get it.

And then when the catching goes into a dry spell, the conversation usually goes into the gutter and we start makin fun of each other. After that its talking about changing to the magic baits such as the "Trevor's Man Cherry Spinnerbait" or the "Yo-Mama-moto Senkos" (Trevor, if you read this, I expect and apt defense statement!)

Jokes is good!

Did someone say exam? Did the doctor lie and tell you it wouldn't hurt? Must've been pretty traumatic...

[jaime7819]

I just finished grad. school last year. I thought it would never end. But now that its behind me, i can say it was all worth it. Having a family while in grad. school is no joke. The easiest part of the whole endeavor was the school work. The hardest part was having enough time in a day. The biggest lessons i learned in college were, how to think about things, how to use your time wisely, and perseverence. Other than that, i dont remember much. If anyone of you young guys is contemplating going another round, do it! You'll only regret it while your in. Than you'll say, " thank God i went back for me and my family!"
