Make Someones Day

[Billy E]

As I pulled you to the ramp today I was asked,"May we see your fish?". I said I will do one better, "I will give you the fish. All I ask is a pic for my post. After explaining pic, post, Crappie.Com and the internet they allowed me to take a pic. After that they tried to decide who go what fish. I explained to them that they get all the fish. As the opened the cooler it might as well been a treasure chest. I took a minute to talk to the ladies (94&87) respectfully. They told me they have fished there for 70 years. They told me they would paddle all day long before arthritis set in and a few more stories I was honored to hear. Can you imagine the fish they have pulled out of there. I was blessed today and i am blessed everyday I get the chance to fish and meet people like those 2 young ladies.

PS Timber it was hard fishing today the next time it will be better. Thanks for going

Last time I went to butla we stopped at the gas station as we were leaving. An elderly gentleman came up to me and my buddy and asked if we had a crappie or two to spare. We told the gentlemen he could have the 7 we had in the cooler. He was thrilled. Funny part though is he was going inside the store to hang out for a while and don't think for one minute he didn't take those fish inside in a couple of plastic bags that were already leaking. He said it was plenty cool in there and they would be just fine, lol. My buddy carried them in for him. I asked him where he put them and he said under the table on the floor where the gentleman was seated. Bet that store smelled good by the time he left, lol. Oh yea, it was only about 97 that day.
