Thread: One of Those Days

It was one of those days...
First thing, I took off of work to go fishing this morning out of jack millers where I had done well last weekend. I was up at 4 this morning in anticipation of the beautiful day to come, when I heard a rustle in the back of the house...uh oh. My 3 yrs old woke up nauseated with a fever, mom had her in the shower ready to throw up...great. My day off to fish turned into a day of taking care of sick child. Thank goodness mother in law came at noon to pick her up, and I was out, on the way to the launch. It was a beautiful afternoon on the water. But every good fish I hooked got off, I mean every one, I caught the little guys...I changed my hook about three times. Oh well. Tried bass fishing...broke off three times...Dang it. I blew out my flip flop (seriously) tripped fell on my console and broke the visor right in half...doh!!!
Then right before I decided to chalk the day up as a complete failure, it happened...I mean I was on the phone with my wife telling her about how things just weren't working out and I was heading home, and THUMP! I hooked a goodun! It is absolutely crazy how one single fish can turn a forgettable trip into a memory...

Also, Ran into Sacalait DA out there and it sure was a pleasure to meet him and his dad. We had a fine conversation on the water. I wound up catching that nice fish on that top we met at. It is the top pictured below...
