Best Lie

[bman]

Bowcatz, you should write a book!!!!!!!!

Everytime I go fishing, it is amazing.

The wind is always perfect
The water clarity is just right
Every brushpile is loaded with 3 lb Crappie
Every time I pulled to the ramp, someone offers to clean my fish.


It just couldn't EVER be any better.

When I was a newlywed, my sweet bride heard the guys talking about fishing and she told me the biggest lie I ever heard --- YOU CATCH UM ANF I WILL CLEAN UM AND COOK UM. to this day 25 years later she does not know how to clean fish.

One hot afternoon I went fishing because I was hungry and wanted to eat some fish. Grabbed up my canepole, worm can, and my pocketknife I had found down on the creek after some tourists had left.

Caught some bluegill out of a clearwater stream that ran at the back of the property. I was having all kinds of fun a little kid can have on a sandbar waiting for the next nibble. Suddenly a gust of wind hit me in the back really hard. Sand blew down the sandbar as the trees began to sway upcreek. I realized that a terrible late summer thunderstorm was blowing up behind me. I grabbed by cane pole, worm can, and the tree branch end that I had made a stringer out of that held the bluegill.

Being just a kid, I couldn't run very fast. Plus, I was really hungry. Faint from the heat, fear of the swirling black storm clouds overhead, and lack of food, I fell down flat on my face as big rain drops began to beat me in the back really hard. Realized that some of the pelting was pea-sized hail stones, too. Hungry, I looked at the fish, but I had been raised that you don't eat raw fish for you would get worms.

If I remember right, I started to cloud up and cry like a little girl when a kaboom of thunder and the bright flash of lightening got my attention really quick. Ground lightening struck a dead pine tree right beside me. I mean right beside me! Tired, scared, and panicking, I rolled over and ski-daddled into the woods and down into a deep dark gulley. Fell face down again into the mud and slid to the bottom of the deep gulley when another kaboom of lightening struck near the tree again but hit the ground---right where I had left my homemade fishing tackle.

A faint plume of smoke rose from the dried broomstraw and being more afraid of a forest fire than lightening, I grabbed up a handful of wet mud and ran back to where the lightening had hit. Much to my surprise, the lightening had hit the fish and cooked them. Well, burned most of them, but some were salvageable, so I dropped the mud onto the smoking grass and smeared the rest onto my jeans to clean my hands.

I ate the pieces of cooked fish as fast as I could and went back to the safety of the gulley to wait out the fury of the storm. Shaking from the cold rain, I finally made it home about an hour later. Mom was mad at me because of the mud on my clothes, but atleast I had a full belly.

disclaimer: all the above is a fib.

A bass struck at my lure once that was so big, when he missed my lure he swallowed 4 acres of woodland.

Hey if we used a lightning rod, how long would you have to leave them fish tied up in order to have them cooked just right......... 2 or 3 milli-seconds?:D
