Yes, just as long as the wife don't find out the extent of it. I should be alright.
A better strategy is to ALSO get her addicted to bass fishing.
Since getting married, my wife now likes to catch fish, go RV camping, and can ring the 4" steel plate six out of six shots with her own pistol.
OTH, I learned to change a diaper in under 60 seconds and have watched the Pride and Prejudice production with Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth several times.
Both of us are a better version!

I hope the whole family has great fun with your new pond.
