OMG! bless this heat stricken day!!
9 years ago
Okay first off, its 90 degrees fahrenheit here!! its hotter then hell. 32 Celsius for those who use the other system.
Anywho my boss was a dear and let me get off work around noon, and I still really wanted to go fishing since that's all that my co-workers were talking about.
As soon as I got off I raced over to the next town over, go to the bait shop and buy 5 blue gills, bait fish. I race on home, get some poles together and head down to our town's dam.
3 hours later and 3 bait fish gone, I was dying off from the heat, but I have a very nice shady spot so it wasn't as bad as it sounds. ^.^
My river pole starts to bounce hard in the rapids and so I decided to start reeling in when it abruptly stops. Next thing I knew my line is pulling back out and is darting back into the rapids.
FISH ON! I reeled and reeled, and just as I got it out into calmer water, I saw this flathead catfish's tail hit the surface, the thing was huge and I began to tremble with excitement and adrenaline. the turd darts back down and my hook, slips off the damn line!! I sat on the rocks in shock and awe for a good 10 minutes laughing and crying. both tears of happiness, disbelief and sorrow.
I couldn't stop shaking...
After I calmed down I went back to my bucket and took out my last bait fish. a thought came to me as I hooked it on.
"good chance i'll just get another snag, and no one will probably believe me when I go home to tell them. but I will treasure this day forever. "
I casted in, and within a matter of a few minutes my pole gets hysterical in the rapids. my first thought was, "oh great, the current is to strong. I better reel it in just a bit just to get out of the current,"
And that's what I did.
My line got tight instantly, and I froze to see if it was a snag. that line took off!!
I had another fish!
I was much more careful with this one, and I took my time. I landed her and pulled her up to the bank. I had just caught my biggest flathead catfish, weighing in at 10lbs!! doesn't sound like much, but she was a big fish!
I sat beside it and cried. I was so happy.
now im here at home, cleaned it up, and getting ready to have some catfish dinner.
god bless you my boss!!
