 Ok, so I was fishing with "legendary Canadian guide" and we were having a normal day, with some casting contests, bird watching, disparaging remarks on each other's fishing abilities, the oh too rare occassional fish etc., when there arose a great hubub of Fire Engines, Sirens, and eventually an Ambulance across the lake at the boat landing. Too intent on fishing, and too lazy to go investigate, we came up with several theories, involving travelling meth lab, car on fire, accident, filling the pumper...as we speculated on the cause of it all. Eventually we left it behind with no answers, heading up the lake to continue fishing. Later that day we spoke with a DNR survey clerk and found out that a fisherman had died at the wheel of his boat, and was doing circles out on the lake. I looked at "legendary Canadian guide" and said, "well, that wouldn't be such a bad way to go, might as well die doing something you like", and "legendary Canadian guide" commented that he wouldn't mind dying that way either,.........at the age of 110!!!  | |||

| Well of course, what DougJ forgets to mention is that two weeks ago he had a fish come up and like......his eyes and concentration are starting to fail(!)... and he never saw the fish, and I graciously pointed out that fish to him, and he immediately started to figure 8 the fish he never saw, and hooked up with it(losing it in short order). Obviously, I got no return on that one, so at the very least this last fish had to be considered an "owe me". It's tough enough concentrating through the banter enough to spot my fish, let alone spot his fish, and then I had to almost shoot the last turkey we saw before he could spot that. I may have to get his prescription checked next season, lucky thing my trifocals are current, or we might be in trouble out there. Edited by firstsixfeet 4/6/2010 9:27 PM | |||
