A Bra, a Sandwich, and a Fish

When I was living in Oklahoma on lake Eufaula and it was springtime, the crappie was spawning. My Grand Pa and Grandma was in the boat fishing with me, my Grandma was eating a sandwich. All of a sudden she got a bite and she jammed the sandwich in the front of her bra, so she had both hands for her catch. Grandma reeled the fish in and it was a nice 2 lbs. one. As commotion settled down and Grandma ask were she had put her sandwich. As we was looking for it, a guy in a boat about 20 feet from us ask my grandma if she found her sandwich. She told him no and then he ask her if she had checked the front of her bra. It was so funny when she saw it there, my grandma's face got so red. It was funny if u was there.

Cottonmouths like whiskey!

I was fishing in a pond one afternoon when I saw a Cotton Mouth snake swim by. I noticed that he had a frog in his mouth and I figured that if I had that frog I could catch a fish with it. When the snake swam close enough, I grabbed it and pulled the frog out of his mouth. I didn't know what to do with the snake and he looked kinda mad, so I reached for the bottle of Jack Daniels that had been keeping me company and poured a little whiskey in the snake's mouth thinking that it might calm the critter down a bit. When he stopped squrmin' so much I threw him back in the pond. Well about the time I caught the second fish with that single frog, I felt a bump on my right leg. I looked to see what it was and damn if that ol' snake hadn't brought me another frog.

KVD Smashes Lewisville Lake Record

It was June 1st, 2005. Lewisville Lake Texas. 3rd stop for the Bassmaster Elite 50 tournament. I happened to be an observer for this event with Kevin VanDam himself. Launch was at 10:00 AM. He hammered the throttle and we stopped at his first fishing spot. First cast, he landed a 14" keeper. About 10 minutes later, his line got hammered. He set the hook and the rod bowed over. All he was saying is this is a good one. It looked like he was about to get the fish to the surface when it took off under his boat. KVD shoved his rod under the boat to try and control the fish and not fight it too much to keep it from breaking off. I heard a splash on the other side of the boat and looked and all I could say was "Oh my god". He said, yeah and big one. Well he finally got it under control and it surfaced...he gasped. HE immediately reached down and lipped it, brought it in the boat and it was a monster. Kevin's words were..." If I have ever caught a 10 pounder, this is definitely one and then some." At the weigh in, they put the fish on the scales and it maxed out at 11 pounds 13 ounces. KVD has broken the old lake record of 11.34 pounds. Just to be in the same boat as KVD is one thing, but to be in his boat when he broke my home lake's record is a piece of bass fishing history that I will always remember.
