Tear em Ups Secret Weapon
I finally figured it out, I get a little frustrated sometimes because Tear em Up often out fishes me but I finally noticed somthing today that has completly gone un-noticed to me and I'm sure many other of his fishing friends. I always attributed his fishing abilities to years of experience, natural abilities and knowledge passed down from his crappie fishing father, and just plain untold amounts of hours put into nothing but the pursuit of crappie! But no I'm completly wrong?
Let me explain, look hard at this picture, tell me what you notice about it??? Yes Tear's expertly handling the boat and fishing 4 rods at the same time so how does he have the uncanny ability to hardly miss any strikes?? Well its really very simple, he cheats. The old saying having a set of eyes in the back of your head is true, and his extra set of eyes are named Baylee his choc lab, she watches the bobbers with pure intensity and gets super excited when ever the slightest tremor happens and lets him know before its probably humanly possible to be noticed by ordinary homo sapiens and Tear knows that and has been hogging that resource to add to his already vast arsenal of abilitys! She's watching a strike in this picture which Tear hooked when he noticed her "Your got a bite dummy, look".
Now I know his secret because shes actually been letting me know about a bite or two every now and then and I was too dumb to know till now! Watch out I know the Secret Weapon now, and since i've told the whole planet ( the part that counts, Crappie.com folks) I will probably never get on his boat with him again. But knowledge is everything even if I can't catch fish, as much.
I know I got way too much time on my hands but this is part of the fun of fishing and friends, and making up stories that i've enjoyed throughout life and look forward to lots more. We did pretty good this morning for the slow start we had, ended up with 20 crappie, 2 spawned out yellow perch and 3 or 4 pickeral. Most all on chart twisters tipped with minnows, they really wanted the meat today.
