Ten Pound Channel Cat

Yesterday Nancy and I decided to take the Lund out and have a picnic on the river. Of course I tossed a couple lines baited with some juicey crawlers while we spent some quality time discussing our dismal future, hopes and dreams, blah, blah, blah. Nancy was telling me about the trials and tribulations of her imaginary friends on The Young and The Restless when the familiar sound of line peeling off the Zebco interrupted her synopsis of the story line. This fish put up a great fight, she refused to come up off the bottom and made a couple nice runs before I got her in the boat. After tossing her back in the river we packed up and left for the boat launch. End of story.

Gawd, I feel sorry for those fish. It's like throwing Muhammed Ali into the ring with Pee Wee Herman, you need to even up the odds! Let the fish have a half hour advance notice you are coming, whatever.

Is this why you don't have time for the worldwide problem solving affairs forum and old fart coffee circle?
