Ice Fishing

The guys from Wisconsin were a little peeved; the International Olympics committee were not going to approve ice fishing as a new Olympic sport.  It didn’t seem fair–curling, all types of skating, the luge, bob sledding and skiing were all ice and snow sports, and the biathlon was just cross country skiing and shooting.  Sure, Jamaica, Egypt, and Dubai were at a bit of a disadvantage for places to practice in the off season, but then that applied to curling, skating, and skiing too.  Besides, what other sport provided fried fish or sushi for snacks after the event . . . ?

Ice Fishing

When Jim Bob from the Texas Gulf Coast went to Wisconsin in January to visit his uncle, he saw quite a few men out on the frozen lake and was told they were ice fishing.  “Why,” Jim Bob asked “did they have to fish for ice when they clearly had a whole lake full of the stuff; if they needed ice that bad, why not just go to the convenience store?”. . .

Moving Target

While fishing, Ben thought and thought; it was his time for reflection.  He couldn’t help, as he watched the river, but be reminded of Miley Cyrus; always moving, never static, kinda see through, yet hard to get a hold of.  If only she would dress and dance like regular people when on stage, it would be a little easier to explain to his kids what had happened to Hannah Montana . . . .  David, Sf.G.

Bad Day Fishing

The boys were in agreement–even a bad day fishing was better than a good day working. . . . .  David, Sf.G.

I’m Sure Gonna Miss Her!

While fishing one day, Bubba got a text from his wife that said, “You have to make a choice; give up your fishing and beer, or I’m leaving.”  He texted back, “I’m sure gonna miss you! Who’s gonna clean the fish and wash down the boat if you go?” . . . .  David, Sf.G.

The Kiss

As a child, Manny had heard the fairy tales about the girl kissing a frog and the frog turning into a handsome, wealthy prince. Then there was this Jimmy guy on Saturday morning fishing shows that kissed all the bass he caught before releasing them or putting them in the cooler.  Manny couldn’t recall any legends that involved kissing sharks, but he hoped two things; that the shark was really dead, and that his wife never found out . . . .  David, Sf.G.
