They say the big one always gets away, in fishing that is. A couple of days ago, I got a fish on my line that I thought was so small, I would just play with him before taking him off the line. What I didn’t realize was that he was coming toward the boat, and when he got about ten feet away I saw him come up, and he was a big boy. Well, I got real serious about getting him in, but he jumped up out of the water, shook his head, and spit out the hook. I went on up the way, continuing to fish, blaming myself for letting the big one get away, and when I started back I threw my bait back in that same vicinity, and I hooked him again! If it wasn’t him, it was his twin. Either way, I was ready for him, and I got him in the boat. He weighed 41/2 pounds, and he tasted real good.
