Germain to nothing....
Went fishing for 1st time in yrs today.
License, Two poles, no bait - just stuff in fridge. Looking in my tackle box when a big carp came along and snatched my brand new pole ($12 - Walmart) straight into the lake!
45 mins later I spot my bobber in the middle of the lake. I'm out of turkey and sausage, (bait) but I have 1/2 hr before I have to collect my daughter from VBS. I start casting, and after 10 tries I drag across what I think is a turtle way out there. Hook it and reel in my new pole!!
Line is snapped (fortunately I'd forgotten to loosen the drag on the new reel) ....the pole floated to the surface by the cork handle!
Tomorrow going back and try and catch my bobber - there is a BIG fish on the other end of it!
There were only a few doz. people watching my fishing exploits - but since I am a scooter rider I am absolutely immune to what people might be thinking of me!
another great sunrise

Wife & daughter, "How'd the fishing go?"
Me, "Great. I caught three fish and my pole."
BTW - the lake is 'catch & release'....so I feel ablidged to go find that fish and turn him loose.
