Here's the kicker story!!!
We were drifting and draggin' tubes along some rocky flats on the south shore on sunday afternoon...we were all a little tired and it was sunny and warm...just a great day to kick back...chuck a tube way out there and lean back and
doze off,....Huck Finn fishing at it's best. I caught a nice 3lb smallie and we put it in the 'well for pix's later in the day. Mini and I decided it was time to play a little joke on the "boat next door" (were were drifting together,..maybe 30-40yds apart.....tox,C3,and Neeley in tox's boat,...Me and Mini in mine)...Mini reaches into the 'well and grabs the fish....he says "Mac,...let me see your bait..it's show time". We re-hook the fish.....slip it over the side and i open my bail and let it swim off....
I kick back in my seat like I'm sleeping with my rod tip high in the air. Mini quietly says to me,.."Act like you're snoozin'...I'll tell you when to set the hook!!" So,..I'm kicked back...I hear Tox say to Neeley,..."Look at Mac,..he's sleepin..LOL!"...all of the sudden Mini says,.."Mac!! Set the hook!"....I do,..and low and behold,..there's a fish on!!! BWWAAHHHHHAAAA!!!!...I hear Tox say something to the affect of,.."Man,..the dude's even catch fish in their sleep!!"....I reel it in,...and we hold it up and show those guys and we act like we're unhooking the fish as usual...and over the side it goes again. My bail is opened....free spooling the SAME fish back out again!!...2mins later,...I say,.."Fish on!!....They're here fella's!!",...and we repeat the same thing....2 more times!! ahahah....Tox,C3 and Ken had no clue what we were doing,..they just thought we were on fire!"...They even trolled up close to see what color tubes we were throwing,..jig weights, etc..etc...I tossed them some of the same tubes and Mini was chuckling like a kid at the county fair!! We really fooled you guys!! ahahahahah!!!!
I told Neeley on our way home,..and he said,.."You @#$~~$,...That's some funny $hit right there,....we thought you had the hot stick today!!"..I said,.."I DID,...it was just the same fish 4 times in a row!!"...ahahahahhahhh
So there you have it guys,....Welcome to the club!!
