Some unseen fisherman cast an Alabama rig onto my dock, snagged an upright post, and had cut or broken the line himself. The rig looked interesting, so I held my hand under it, but missed on that chance to catch it. When I eventually brought it up with a large magnet, a large bass swam right over to it!
Last season, another pair of fishermen reported "No catches all day", so I started a quote by Henry David Thoreau, "
Many men go fishing all of their lives..."
One fisherman in the boat then interrupted my version with,
"...without knowing that it is not fish they are after."
Kinda fun...
