re: The one that got away...

Geauxt had him a rich, young, dumb, nympomaniac and lost it. I understand you a little bit more old man. My heart goes out to ya.


Fishing on the back side of Wallace lake bout 10 years ago. Throwing a white tiny torpedo with red head. Doing the lil yank and reel that makes the bait go all crazy. Right before I had to pop it over a long, it looked like a stick of dynamite went off under my bait. Set the hook and my rod almost broke in half. Fought that big bitch for forever it felt like. Left and right, right and left. Getting all tangled up in the weeds on the bottom. Finally I get the upperhand. I've got this 5 gallon bucket mouth heffer on the side of the boat. As I'm reaching out to lip her, something pops. I go flying backwards, fish disappears. Start cussing and look at my line. Bait is still there, but the back hook had pulled out. I still get sick just thinking about it.
