OT: Now here's a fish story

July 2, 2004

This was sent to me and with all the feesh stories I had to share

Rita

These pictures where taken at the pond behind someone's house. Their neighbor

saw a ball bouncing around kind of strange like and when he went to investigate,

it was a flathead catfish with a child's basketball stuck in its mouth and the

pictures tell the rest of the story. His wife did have to cut the ball in order

to deflate the ball and release the catfish. Moral of the story: Do not be a

ball hog.

IF .. you live in the South .. where we got them Hawg Bass .. cause

ain't nuthing but Bass minners in the Nawth due to the short growing

season .. and IF your husband has a bass boat .. and likes to drink beer

and tell lies (which are requirements for fishermen ceptin you can't

have no beer in the boat during tournies) then on my swing through

Gawd's Kuntry twixt the latter part of July through mebbe the middle of

September or so .. I'll be happy to stop by for some lessons. ;-)

Part II .. just saw this one. ;-)

Deep sea feeshing .. be it trolling or bottom feeshing .. is a good time

for all .. and its meat feeshing .. and I like it. But sea feesh don't

got no smarts .. you just catch'em. Them Hawg Bass is smarter'n the

average feller .. you gotta pay attention to temperature and Ph of the

water .. gotta have a tacklebox with $7,500 worth of fancy lures which

you never use .. and a dang 17 ft Ranger Deep V (hand made in Flippin,

Arkansas) with a 175 HP Johnson and a couple'a trollin motors .. and 7

expensive rods/reels cause there's no time to switch baits and that's

the legal limit in most tournies.

Then you gotta watch some local Redneck whut knows the lake come out

with a paper sack fulla plastic worms in the rite color (which he knows

but you don't cause he reads the water better than you do) and see him

tear you a new butt with his $14.95 Zebco 404 rod/reel and his $1.79

worth of plastic worms. And the heck of it is, folks don't get to keep

the feesh in a tournie nohow .. its catch and release so them you do

catch (less'n you be that Redneck with the paper bag) cost about $350 a

pound. It ain't .. meat fishing. ;-) Butch

Sorry the fish pictures didn't make it through -- It was a very big catfish

with a red ball in its mouth -- very strange
