I'll bet your wife or girlfriend has a different opinion!

I don't think there are many women around that think much of the 2 minute rule!

Could be that it may not apply to "everything" a man has to do.

Well... ACE
When i go fishing there, i will just come by you, and you can put my boat in LOL Then the 2 mins rule will still hold..

Let me say i fish alot around here i have never seen any man get the boat in the water in 2 mins...

As many have stated already, the problem is inconsiderate people who pull up and make everyone wait while they put in the plug, take off tie downs/boat cover, get gear out of the vehicle, etc.  That should all be done before you get anywhere near the landing. 

I was on Independence last year for opener.  There are two ramps to launch and a line of 15-20 boats.  These idiots are standing on one of the docks with a pontoon boat blocking the entire launch area so only one boat is being launched or put back on their trailer.  I couldn't believe how flippin' inconsiderate these morons were.  They could easily have moved the pontoon to the other side of the dock so it was open or do like most who are waiting and motor back out until your driver gets to the dock area.  DUH!!!

launch- two minutes easy. Actually closer to about 30 seconds if someone is with me. Takeout maybe five cuz I got to get wet.

Yep BB...2 minutes solo, 30 seconds with some one else that aint got their head up you know where!  Its somthing ya take pride in... its funny, when ya have it down, you'll actually get the nod from the guys that are in the know waitin in line, have actually got comments.  I think it shows the difference between a veteran fisherperson and a weekend warrior that goes out on the opener, maybe once or twice after that and then is done for the year...(rookies)
