Took my friend Ray with me fishin yesterdee. Now I am sure some of ya won't believe this, but I'm perty sure there was Divine intervention at work on this trip. Nuthin dramatic; just proof that God DOES have a sense of humor!
We tried fer an hour ta catch shad fer bait with no luck whatever. I had brought along some frozen cutbait just in case, so we proceeds ta tie up an git er done! Didn git a nibble on this froze up stuff an I be durned if a great big dead shad didn float down th bank, right in front of us! Fresh dead! Never pass up a gift, if ya can use it, I figger. I cut it up an we re-bait. As we did, just up th bank from us a female otter an a yungun come outa th water an disappear up th bluff. I reckon they had killed th shad, an it was more than they needed. That's th intervention I was talkin about
We didn fish long til I cawt a channel cat weighed bout 3 pounds er so, an I strung him up an put th same bait right back where I had it. 20 miutes er so later, th ol Penn's drag sung out loud an clear, an I picked it up an thumbed th line, settin th circle 06. This'n ( a blue cat) weighed bout 6 er maybe 7 pounds an was of th opinion he was a whale. I was rilly amazed he was no bigger than he was. Of course amazin me ain't no big thing as I wake up more er less inna state of surprise!
Only stringer I had was th same one I put th channel on, an I put this mini-lunker on there too. We fished there fer 30 minutes er so an decided ta move to another spot, so after reelin in our rods, I boated th stringer.............minus th second fish! He had rolled an twisted against th bank or th other fish, or both an opened that clip I'd put im on. That is when I thawt bout th Divine intervention stuff, an I coulda sworn I heard laughter!!! I looked at Ray an he wasnt laffin, so I sez, "I'm sure glad you was along ta see this, er nobody would believe it." Bein th true fishin buddy tpe friend he is, he didn miss a beat. "See what?!?"
I know I heard that laffin agin!
