I have had some people call the FNF, "Bobber Fishing" because they don't know what the hell it is and don't have a clue what to do with it. I will admit it that I Love to "Bobber Fish" my FNF for big Smallies but hate "Bobber Fish" for anything else. This morning I saw a show about a "Bobber Fishing" that I will NEVER do. It was these guys that hunt Alligators in Florida. It said there are 5 Million people and 2 Million Alligators living in Florida. It takes special tags and this guy was allowed to take 2 Gators from this one lake in one night. There was 3 guys in the boat, all Gander Mountain employees, and they first shot an arrow into the gator that was attached to a line with a huge Bobber on it. Then they pulled up the line and shot them with this 44 caliber 6 foot long sort of "Gun". Taped him closed and pulled him into the boat. They got 2 that night and then went to a different lake the following night and got 2 more. You will easily find me night fishing at Dale in December and Bobber Fishing Dale all winter but you will NEVER find me night "Bobber Fishing" for Gators in Florida. My wife says "Never say Never", NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER will you find my Big behind doing this.
All shows have fishing songs and I have officially found mine. My 4 year old son loves it as well and does this silly dance to it every time it comes on. It is the Keith Warren Outdoor show song and the words go something like this in a slow country accent:
I've got my boat hooked up to my pickup truck, It's time to make my break. My rods and reels are loaded up and I'm tieing on my favorite bait. I'll be catching fish all day long, If their bitin good I ain't coming home, that's the place to be, I love fishin and fishin loves me. The coolers packed and my drinks iced down, I'm ready to cast my line, I can't wait to set my hook on a 7, 8, or 9, I'll be reelin them in all day long, If their bitin good I ain't going home, this is the place to be, I love fishin and fishin loves me.
Pretty much says it all and Mr. Cliff Henson (ie, Clebo, Hens, Netboy) had better hope the bite is on all day or night long for I have now added this song to my arsenal to sing along with the "Fatties" and "Baby Cubs" from Mark Zona. If the bite is slow, it will be a long day on Clebo's ears to pass the time in hopes of a pull down or a tug. We do have a couple of days a Dale next week and then 6 days at North Barkley in Mid April to look forward to and the bite should be on so no singing for me but the night bite will be next and it does get slow at times. I see a pair of ear plugs in Hens's future as hit next "Tackle" purchase for the box.
