Favorite Fishing Story:
My story is about the ont that got away. I was doing some bass fishing at my favorite spot. I was throwing a rubber swim bait. As I would cast I notice some big head carp topping the water and swimming around the dock I was standing on. As I reeling in a cast I see four carp swim towards my bait. Then I feel the bite.
I start reeling in, but he is swimming faster than I can reel. HE WAS HUGE! He swims under the dock and it felt like my pole was going to break in two. I was trying to tire him out. I reel and stop. Reel and stop. After a couple of minutes, MY LINE BREAKS. TWELVE POUND LINE, BREAKS! The only thing I can do is drop my pole on the dock, look up and say a few choice words.
Now every time I go back I hope for round two with the one that got away.
Best Fishing Joke:
Phantom Fish
A man was stopped by a game-warden with two buckets of fish leaving a lake well known for its fishing. The game warden asked the man, "Do you have a license to catch those fish?" The man replied to the game warden, "No, sir. These are my pet fish." "Pet fish?!" the warden replied. "Yes, sir. Every night I take these here fish down to the lake and let them swim around for a while. I whistle and they jump back into their buckets, and I take em home." "That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that!" The man looked at the game warden for a moment, and then said, "Here, I'll show you. It really works." "O.K. I've GOT to see this!" The game warden was curious. The man poured the fish in to the river and stood and waited. After several minutes, the game warden turned to the man and said, "Well?" "Well, what?" the man responded. "When are you going to call them back?" the game warden prompted. "Call who back?" the man asked. "The FISH." "What fish?" the man asked.
Nice striper, that look like it was fun
