A Lesson Learned
My friend and I were out on a small lake here in Raleigh called Lake Johnson. We had been out a few times over the last week or so and had caught nothing. We were starting to get a little frustrated with not catching anything because we had a tournament coming up in two weeks. My buddy cast out into a little cove that looked like a pretty good spot for a fish to be hiding. He casted a little to high and got stuck in a tree that was about 5 feet off the water. He was jerking and pulling and he finally said lets go over and get this thing out of the tree. I said ok let me cast over there to see if there is any fish under that tree before we do so. I casted over right where he would have landed if the tree would not have been there and pulled in about a 4 1/2 pound bass. I could tell he was a little mad after I got the bass up to the boat and released it. He had been out to the lake quite a few more time than I had and had still not caught a single fish. I joked with him as we rounded a point and said if I catch another fish I will let him reel it in. He told me if I did that he would throw me into the water. We both laughed and kept fishing. About five minutes later I snagged another fish it wasnt that big probably around 2 pounds and I attempted to hand the reel over to my friend. He refused so I continued to reel the fish in. No more than 10 seconds later I felt myself being pushed and falling off the boat. My friend was looking at me laughing hysterically as I bobbed up and down in the water with the reel in my hand and the fish still on. From now on if someone tells me they are going to throw me in if I do something I am going to listen.
