Love the concept and the lyric. Can't really "judge" the mastering as I'm on a laptop. But, it all sounds pretty clean and clear.

Totally not my kind of music at all, so I may not be an appropriate critic, but it sounds well done in terms of mixing and playing and all that.  Vocals fit the genre, to me.  The lyrics though..I guess I would have liked to hear them roll off a little more poetically than so straight forward, but maybe that's a genre thing?  
 
My dad and I used to fish a lot and I think he'd dig this tune.

Scott, you hit this one out of the park.  The lyrics are clever and well arranged.  I like the honky-tonk feel of the piano, and sometimes it's OK to put it up front like you did.  Although it's a uniform volume throughout the song, it still breathes and would stand up to most commercial recordings.  Well done.

This is actually quite good agree regards the piano player.
 
Thanks for sharing.

Really enjoyed this from the beginning :-)
 
But you and me "Gone fishin..." 
 
If I could give any advice (I "may" pull the LV back just a weence? But that's subjective, and "just a weence") And I'm a singer ;-) So I know what happens when the singer does the final mix.

Very nice mix, I have yet to find any of my songs where I like the A-type console emulator, you have used it just right I think.
I first had a listen on a cheap and nasty set of headphones, and the song is came across very light in the low end, there was hardly any bass or kick to be heard. This might be a good thing though, as any heaviness in the bottom end would make the speakers distort. I guess what I'm really saying, now that I think of it, is that the song is going to work well on systems that aren't up to scratch. Will work well over the radio I think.

Timidi, Voda, Lynn, Wookiee, Band19, Rebel, Speedtom, Guitarplayer, Guitarhacker and anyone I may have missed, thank you, thank you, thank you!!  I need to work on song dymanics, among other things, and I am experimenting with that by making adjustments to different versions of the mix.
 
Another thing I'm struggling with is the difference in sound between my budget monitors, laptop speakers, earbuds, the stereo in the truck, etc.  I probably need to depend more on reference songs, which I used 'sort of' on this project.
 
Thanks again for listening and taking the time to comment.

Hi Scott,
 
It's a little hard to compare the pre-mastered mix to the mastered one, because Soundclick generally compress the heck out of everything. Might be good to put both WAV files up on Soundcloud, I think the quality is better there.
 
Either version is a goodtime, fun song with a cracking hook (pun intended) though
