Ya know you're a stand-up guy when:

You caught a huge bass on a drop shot and admitted it.

You confess you were the net-boy that day.

You call it a 6 lber, not an 8.5

You know your only real sponsor is your wife and she has no patches for you to wear.

You understand cliques are for kids.

You give more than your share to charity and keep it to yourself.

You stand up for what you think is right even if it’s not the popular choice.

You understand that Image really means what you want others to see and most times not what is real.

Someone makes you angry, you tell them to their face and not behind their back.

You will give a friend your last ten dollars but would kick his *** if he tried to steal it.

You won’t compromise principle to be popular in public.

The good things you've done are for those who needed it not for others to see it.

You hang out with your buddies for what they are and not who they are.

One of the best definitions of Integrity I ever heard is...
"When you do something noble and nobody knows or finds out." :wink:

I’ve been over the mountain and up the creek and I fall short of your list. I see no splinters in other mans eye when I have logs in my own. I will never be the President, a Millionaire, or a Star. The best I seek is to be the best husband, father, and bother that I can be. I walk no man’s steps and I cut my own trail be it right or wrong. And my only hero is my own son with four combat tour to keep us free.

Now lets go fishing

you can say, "I accept Jesus Christ as my savior, he died on the cross for my sins, and I accept God's gift of heaven."

For me, beyond that, everything else just kinda falls into place.

The movie Rob Roy has a line that I always remembered, "Honor, it's the one thing a man can give himself".
