I got a bad habit of falling asleep if fish ain't biting. Dad picks on me about it, but keeps eye on my rod and waking me when I get a bite, great man. My brother in law came with us one night and I fell asleep as normal. A fish on my pole, Dad missed seeing it or well /cough, so it is swimming around and managed to get to the other side boat and get tangled my brother in law. He "sets" the hook and starts reeling it in. Dad yells at me that I got fish, so I start reeling mine in. So here we are fighting 2 huge fish, i gain on mine, he'd lose, then get to gaining and mine would start running. Whole time Dads a laughing, having a ball. He turns my brother in law and says" if you'll trip your bail, Jamie can reel in his fish". Was a cute little crappie, about 10 inches.
