Never go fishing when your on call for work.

[BrianS]

I hit the ditch last night.... Got there for the perfect tide and all.

I had two poles going.. Chunk mackeral at the bottom, and then pluggin with the other one.

Mind you of course, I was also on-call for my job (tech support for a lawfirm)

Anyway, an attorney calls me mid cast... I try to talk to him and reel my plug in 1.5 handed... It wasnt working, I got snagged so I put the pole down... Seconds later, line starts SCREAMING off my pole with the chunk. I pick up the pole (still talking to the attorney) and set the hook... Im trying to balance it till the end of the call which never seemed to be coming...

Finally, I just tell the attorney, that I need to put him on hold a sec. I drop the cell and start reeling, there is no doubt in my mind the fish at the end was big... big big big...

The phone rings again. He had accidentally hung up and called me back. I picked it up, the fish went the other way, line was snapped...

I was NOT happy

Worst thing was, the attorney was calling me because he was at an airport and couldnt get onto a webpage from an internet kiosk. Nothing I could even help him with.

So I lost the fish
No more bites the rest of the night
I did get to meet mrmacey

but man.. all in all.. im still annoyed.
