While doing some night stalking on ky. lake this last weekend, I baited up a pole and lowered it over the side then poured me a big cup of coffee and settled in for the wait. After about 15 minutes I happened to think of another pole I had in the boat with me and thought I'd bait it up to, so I got a big minnow out of the bucket and about the time I started to put it on the hook my other pole had a hit, so I threw the minnow down and grabbed the pole and reeled in an 11 inch crappie. I put him in the livewell and started looking for the lost minnow in the bottom of the boat but it wasn't anywhere in sight, so i grabbed some fresh minnows out of the bucket and went back to fishing. Well, after about 10 minutes I started getting a little hungry and the coffee had cooled enough to drink so I ate a snack cake and finished off most of the coffee when low and behold in the bottom of my cup was the lost minnow!!!! Now , I shined my light in the cup when I first started looking for him and thought that if he was in there he would float. Let me be the first to tell you, Minnows Don't Float In Hot Coffee!!!!
