Bass Fishing With Sam

When I retired, I could hardly wait to spend time enjoying my favorite pastime -- bass fishing. I got my own little fishing boat and tried to get my wife to join me, but she just never liked fishing. Finally, one day at the Bait & Tackle Shop, I got to talking to Sam, the shop owner, who it turned out loves bass fishing as much as I do. We quickly became fishing buddies. As I said the wife doesn't care about fishing. She not only refuses to join us she always complains that I spend too much time fishing.
A few weeks ago Sam and I had the best fishing trip ever. Not only did I catch the most beautiful bass you've ever seen, only a few minutes later Sam must have caught his twin brother! So I took a picture of Sam holding up the two nice bass that we caught and showed the picture to the wife hoping that maybe she'd get interested. Instead she says she doesn't want me to go fishing at all anymore! And she wants me to sell the boat! I think she just doesn't like to see me enjoying myself. What would you do? Tell the wife to forget it and continue my hobby or quit fishing and sell the boat as she insists?
Thanks,
"Confused Fisherman"
P.S. ---> Enclosed is a picture of Sam with the two bass we caught. (see below)

Tough call. Any kids? How long have you been married? Are you willing to give up half?

LOL!! Just kidding. Stupid questions. You better sell the boat!!

Sell the boat and stay home with your wife. It's just the right thing to do.... OH and don't worry about your friend Sam, I'll buy a boat and be her new fishing buddy. She will be in good hands. PROMISE.
