Tell me a fishing story, true or not

[MsgMills]

Should have used one of them thar Dance's Craw's, might have even had a better day that the one you had, especially catching dem mermaids and all them big Basses...

What wuz that fishing pole made of and were it as stout as a broom handle...did you by chance try any jelly snoppin worms as well.... Heard that if you would have went about another 100 yards on down the bank, yee coulda got youself into a mess ole big ole Piney Blue Back Pickled Trouser Trouts...Heard they put up one heck of a fight, especially when they is guard'n their nest.... Heard that if'n one bite you, you could have to lay there for the venom to drain out of your system for up to 3 days, says they makes you feel lazy and like you is recoverin from some sort of major surgery...

But I don't know cuz I's only been bitten by one of those Silver Haired Rattle Neck Pee Fish....Heard when they is all mean they turns Golden yeller and stink to high heaven...These fish makes a man think he's been married for his entire life time and feel like he's had tons of back surgeries....

Well I better be gitten on back down to the farm, the boys and I might be going out to do some of that fancy Ice fish'n, Only's we taint had much luck fishin when the Ice is froze on the lake, seems all our bait does is freeze and just lay thar on the ice...Ain't never had a fish bite threw that ice yet and take our bait.....Talk agin later Elnut Ole Buddy.....

You guys go ahead and kick a depressed non fishing guy a little further down the ladder than he already is with all this talk of catching my 12 pounder. I will show both of you that 8 surgeries in 9 years (except for one knee surgery in 2002 all other 8 have been abdominal), 4 surgeries in the past 33 months, 16 admissions to St. Joe hospital (spent a total of 177 days in that place since 1998), 52 different incisions and no telling how many staples (52 were taken out today alone) will not stand in the way of me and my 12 pound quest. I guess as long as I can breathe then there is still a chance to land the big girl.

On a serious note, thanks for all the post for I am having a really hard time mentally and physically with this one. One thing not to have on your resume is plenty of experience in recovering from abdominal surgery, but I do have that. About as depressed as one individual can get with my personal issues but more importantly what my sister and her husband is going thru with his fight with Cancer. Some may remember my post a few months back, long story short, several Chemo treatments no luck, experiemental treatment at Vanderbilt University by the FDA - no luck, now he is back in Lexington for more treatment and another huge tumor was found Monday in his Stomache and Esophogus, plus what was already in his lungs and liver. Not looking good for them and makes it really tough to stay positive on so many fronts.
