How smiles are made...
last night I took a young boy and his dad out for "eeling 101".. they have been bass fishing a few years now and have been fishing real hard.. but "keeper" size bass.. elude them... eel fishing a form of torture... after a lesson in hook snelling and how to place the "rock stunner" on an eel... we headed out to the local grounds... it was a slow night by most standards.. the youngster hooked up quick but dropped the fish... dad hooked up and was the victim of a "sportsmans release" my guess was the leader cut on the gill plate.. too bad it looked like a real nice fish... shortly after I hooked up and handed off the rod to my youngest pupil and he played the fish perfectly... when I netted it and brought it in the boat , the only thing I could think of was the kids opening presents Christmas day.. the fish scaled out @ 22lbs his biggest and first "cow"... I feel it will not be his last... there were other "kibbies" but no more 20lbers came our way... I feel the young lad didn't sleep very much last night!

thats a great night I enjoy the expressions of pure joy from kids and adults when you put them on a good size fish (eels plus circle hooks = 99% hook up )

Nice job. Funny me and Slip were talking on the phone last nite and your ne came up knowing how much you like the full moon. Bruce said Joe is probably hitting it hard this week with the moon.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
