Anyone who fishes with Elwood is at a total disadvantage. His brain scan looks just like a smallmouth's brain, so good luck trying to outsmart him. It is also a disadvantage when you sitting in the middle between two of best fishermen on the lake, taking some verbal abuse at times, and just trying to keep up. After thinking back on this situation, I think this was a "sat-up". When you find yourself in a situation like that, you have to start "thinking-out-of-box." You start binding hooks, crimping barbs, your eyes can't focus; I even tried injecting hotdog juice into my bushhogs. When you fish with Elwood, things become like you are in the "twilight zone." It just so happened my "box" came up empty that day. Fishing with guys like that can have a lasting affect on someone. I am still going to therapy.
