I WIN! I WIN!!

Ok, I got up at Oh-dark-thirty on Sunday (and what does the Oh stand for? OH MY GOD IT'S EARLY -- for you movie geeks). I assembled my implements, 4 Diet Dr. Peppers in a cooler, and my mosquito repellent and made for the lake.

It was a fine day, well, not really. It was dark. It wasn't even quite a day yet. Met up with my friend at a local distilled petroleum distributor, and went up to the lake for an orgy of fish catching. Well, not so much of an orgy as an "adolescent clumsy try" at fish catching.

As it turned out the weather was crappy, and I caught the only fish of the day - maybe 15 minutes after arriving and getting all rigged up. The funniest moment was 2 grown men, trying to thread fishing line through the guides on their fishing rods, and very much looking like two old blue hairs trying to jam thread through the wrong end of a sewing needle. Hey! It was fracking dark out there! Note to self: next time park closer to the street light in the parking lot.

My monster fish was as I describe it, a "cute" bass. Not a keeper, I've seen bigger fish in aquariums in normal sized homes. It went back into the lake, to tell it's brethren to avoid the chartreuse glittery worms that look like something Elton John would go fishing with. Still, as I stated above, I caught the only fish of the day, ergo, I win.
