Talk about a bad day. While fishing in a cove that had lots of houses close by and a few boats within sight, the ol' mud-shark started barkin'. Bad breath too. No big deal I thought till it crept out and drew a picture in the bottom of my skivees. In panic I hopped up onto the back deck, covered myself with a life-jacket, popped open the livewell lid and dropped ol' muddy right into the port box. Pretty slick I thought till I realized I had no squatwipe. Well, my skivs were ruined anyhow so I used what was left of them. I put a few bullet weights in the skivs, tossed them over the side and gave them a good salute as they sank slowely toward the bottom. While I was digging through a storage box for a minnow net to release ol' muddy I heard a boat pull up. NO KIDDING, it was THE MAN! He asked how I was doin' and I told him I was just "hangin'". He went through the usual routine, life jacket, fishing license, etc.. Then he asked if he could look in my live-well. I stuttered in disbelief that I hadn't caught any fish and said "you don't have to look in there do ya"? He got real suspicious and a little snotty. I took offense to his attitude and said alright, then pointed to the port live- well lid. He opened the lid, stared in for a moment, slammed the lid down, looked up at me and said, "what the HELL is that"? I said "sir, that is a mud-shark. I'll put it on the rule if you want but I'm pretty sure it'll measure". The scowl on his face was PRICELESS! He hopped out of my rig, mumbled that he would write a ticket for that if he could and tore off. Laughing myself to tears I took the minnow net and released ol' muddy over a brush-pile. I "hung out" in the cove for a while longer and went home. That live-well is pretty comfy. I may just have to install a magazine rack in my boat.

Priceless. Sometimes CO's need to be brought back to where the rest of us live.

This is a true story,
A few years ago while camping for a month at one of the marinas on Lake Erie they didn't have waste hook ups so you had to use the restrooms at the bait shop. In the mornings there were always a lot of guys using the facilities, smoking cigarettes and trashing up the place so I would go out on the lake in my 21 ft. Starcraft boat and use a 5 gallon bucket for my daily duty.
I would usually get out about 3-4 mile and stop, sit the bucket between the seats and sit down. When done, over the side and rinse out the bucket.
I always looked around for other boats that before I got started. One morning I must have missed one because not long after I was sitting there with my pants around my ankles I looked up and here comes a huge sailboat with an old man and woman all dressed up in their sailing outfits and sail right by me no more than 50 ft.
I started laughing and waved to them. Needless to say they didn't wave back and gave me a discussed look as the sailed by. I waited until they were a few hundred yards gone and dumped the bucket over the side and rinsed it out.
I laughed the whole day over that. I figured they would have a real good story to tell all the other rich snobs at their yacht club that evening. h.h.

The next time that happens just tell him you didn't know the limit on brown trout so you stopped at one.

Back in the day before most were into Vexlars and all the rest the main method of finding fish was to start hunting. I was fishing with my Dad and I started drilling a line of holes. When I had one line drilled I turned around and started drilling parallel to the first one where Dad was fishing by then. On about the third hole Dad called me over. He had a Colostomy and the bag popped off. I helped him get unzipped and unbuttoned his shirt so he could get the bag off before it became a major blow out. He got all cleaned and used snow to get his hands and what was now a warm cup of coffee to clean and warm his hands. I kicked snow on it while Dad gathered his stuff for a move. It is a real nasty looking act of nature the kind that will go through a screen door so we moved on to the next hole. We caught a few fish when the local hole scabber came out on the ice. Guy fished a lot and never had an auger with him. He followed our tracks and started fishing the first hole. Then the next. Finally the hole where Dad had the blow out. I had tried to kick it down the hole with some snow and decided I did not want that on my boots. He started to scoop the hole out when he figured what was down there and about then he also figured out what he was standing in.  Couldn't of happened to a more deserving guy. |
