A Fisherman's Tale.....

Tonight we decided to have some friends over for some fishin' in the backyard. It was a calm and warm night so we were sure the bass were gonna be bitin'. My buddies brought over their fancy poles, fancy lures and every trick in the book.....Renee cooked a big meal and we were sure it was going to be a matter of time before we had some big bass to cook up as well. So we dropped our lines and we fished....and fished....and fished.....nothing. Justin kept bugging me to bait up his little Star Wars fishing pole and I kept telling him, "you ain't gonna catch anything with that small pole!". So Uncle Ken finally hooked up Justy's pole because I wasn't going to do it....I was busy fishin'. Justin was so excited....he dipped his pole into the lake and within 10 minutes.....he caught a fish. I had to shake my head at that one.....I had the fancy pole, fancy lure and nothing....my 6 year old uses his Star Wars fishing pole with a little worm at the end and catches a fish. He tells me...."Daddy...look at how big my fish is!!". I had to be honest with him...."Justin, that is the biggest fish anybody caught today!!". So we took this picture right after he brought it up.....tossed the fish into the bucket to watch him swim for a few minutes and I let Justin throw him back in so we can catch him another day. Me? Well.....my big fish is still waiting for me in our lake and it's only a matter of time until I get him......that is, as long as Justin doesn't get him first......
