Re: Fish Names.
Favorite fighting fish huh.....Snook hands down!<br /><br />Snook fishing: You've been sitting in the same spot for three hours now...The rings around the edge of the five gallon fish bucket/bridge recliner have now left permanent landmarks on your totaly numb rearend....<br /><br />Everything is calm....Its a beautiful night and a cool bay breeze Is blowing through the railing of the bridge....right up the leg of your shorts.<br /><br />The goose bumps and the quick shiver up your spine serve to let you know that all is not as it should be....Ya gotta Pee
....There's no Port-a-jon on the bridge so you sneak over to the side of the truck to "handle" the situation (joke intended).<br /><br />Any snook fisherman knows that Derwoods law states: In any given fishing situation bad Karma can flow like a river of dominos....And nine times out of ten you'll be up Karma creek without your paddle.<br /><br />You know all to well, but are doomed to repeat, the next sequince of events at least once a season.<br /><br />As soon as the goose bumps disapear and gravity starts to take over the project....KA-TWANG...ZINGGGGGGGG..... SNOOK !!!<br /><br />You look over to see the butt of your brand new 150.00$ bridge combo riseing from it's perch on the concreate ....can't have that happen...In the next three steps you have weighed, stuffed and all but mounted that trophy snook in your den....you grab the "pole" in your left hand and in the same split second your right handed body instinctfuly pulls hard on the "rod" to set the hook .<br /><br />A twitch in your upper lip and the warm, wet Tee-shirt below your belly serve as a reminder that you "Had" unfinished buisness .<br /><br />You drop the "rod" and grab the "pole" with TWO hands this time....the drag is playing it's song as the line peels off your reel....Your feeling pretty good now...you've got things under controll now....NOT.<br /><br />Just then the Snook turns with the current and heads for the bridge pileing....You MUST stop him for if he gets to the oyster encrusted pileing he is sure to break free and take your dreams with him.<br /><br />With that thought you break to run to your left....And then it happends....Your shorts drop around your ankles because in all the comotion you have'nt had time to button up....With a crash you hit the concreate....the "pole" breaks free of your hand and goes scrapeing down the railing turning a 150.00$ combo into just another bridge rig....with a TWANG the night falls silent over the bay .<br /><br />Your snook is gone....that little white thing you thought was a chicklet off to the left is actually your right front tooth....the knot in your stomack is a warning that you may have damaged your "rod" for good this time and the best you can do is prop your scraped and broken body up against the tire of the truck and curse the night....whats this...."Snook Fishing" <br /><br />It's all good though.<br /><br />SNOOK is my favorite.<br /><br />Snookwood.
