Day Nine - Revisit to
Hoople
         I DID say that my
last fishing episode with Big Bear was akin to
spending a day with a six year old on his first fishing day out (are we there
yet? where are we going next? can I have a drink? etc etc). Well today HE OUTDID
HIMSELF IN SPADES. I had just hooked, struck, checked and turned. I saw Bear
wind in, put his rod down and go for the landing net, all well until he stepped
back - THEN - he slipped on a stone, spun NO PIROUETTED, tried to steady and
step forward toward the bank - then he fell back, another step and now in waist
deep water. I am now laughing so hard I cannot see my rod. I have shoved it
between my legs to support it as I collapse over it laughing, where it was
strategically positioned DID assist me not to wet myself. Result, I caught, he
dripped and had to address his immediate problem - flooded welligogs. Am I
calm.............. To add insult to injury I was in charge of drying Bear's
socks, placed nicely on a warm rock. Bear with his quick dry leg bottoms - all
going well until the second one fell in the water. Net result, I'm looking at
someone fishing in very dodgy fashion indeed. Next the heavens opened full
throttle. Oh the joys of my peaceful day slipping round the
U-bend.
 "I see no ships" - I see no
bloody float
   Spirits moist but intact, I catch my new PB to thirty pounds - CHUFFED
  A tricky little sucker
 Bear
did good after his welligogs were dryish after a good
internal patting with tissue. Bear weighed in with
10, 13.25, 13.5,14.75 and a 28 pounder. Me although disturbed with someone
trying hard to DRAG me out of the ZONE - I managed a 14, 22.25, 22.5, 26, 27.5
and of course my thrilling 30 - sad this puts me a fair way ahead in numbers
caught but a pound behind in the $100 bet for biggest.................. Must try
harder. Grhhhhhhh. Sod
Off.
        At
six it was back to base to see the boys loading for a late fish. We went to
the corn bins to restock. Dry corn gets soaked to
plump up ready for the boys and girls
 Should the last picture go to the fashion
aficionado or.......
 Or to Team Millard showing my last fish caught at ten to six, (a
27.5lbs), Jason kindly took this shot. Days results Me 6. Bear 5. Tally Me 34 -
new PB and Bear 24

DAY
