At sunset yesterday, the fifth of May, already feeling twice baked after a day on the lake (and having snared a snake but eating no cake...), we intrepid campers endeavored to go... drum roll... NIGHT FISHING, after a well needed nap in the wind-blown ninety farenheit tent.
Really must say, my girl is a sport! Wasn't even that bothered that she'd kicked my butt forwards, backwards and sideways in the fish catching department over the past thirty hours. It was Cinco de Mayo and we didn't even know upon leaving home, the night of the SUPER MOON!
Van Gogh like ain't it- in a horridly pixelated phased the iPhone up to full fueled fade in way!
Usually the stars are the spectacles of the night down there but most were invisible to the human eye the last two evenings. Friday was waxing gibbous, Saturday, if not full, well, damned close. Can never recall seeing a moon so stupendous, and by pure chance we were 90 miles from city lights under a clear sky, primitive (ok, fairly primitively) camping.
She was using my lucky pole... yeah, that's it! That pretty fish is a smallmouth bass- for those who are scratching their heads wondering, wow, what kind of fish is that? Didn't matter the species though, she dominated in all.
Note, Asia's black crappie, caught simultaneously to nanatehay's white crappie, is slightly larger. BITCH! I mean I love you baby!

Don't you mean, "Woman"? Or better yet, "Almighty Provider of Fish That I Am Incapable of Carching Myself, Great Opnipitent Keeper of All Things Feminine and Great One Who Has Chick Boobs!"
Got all that, "boy"?
;)
Trig: "slimed the line" ... I'm stealing that one to use in any myriad of occasions.
Sounds like a really fun weekend!
Scarlett, after carefully observing my techniques, they made a few feeble attempts to emulate, but being manly men... (I think you can finish that sentence.)
Trig did the honors and boinked them on the head, filleted and fried them up. The weekend was a blast, the weather and the incredible moon... It was all pretty perfect.
Amy: GIRL is giving the benefit of the doubt, age-wise. Would be interested in your opinion- cute ain't she. Yes of course she is all those things you said, even the ones you mis-spelled girl!
Scarlett- you can use slimed the line whenever you please if you give me due credit, after my patent kicks in.
Scans~ yeah man, Vegas!
Phyllis I'm not at all sure about anything regarding the snakes' whereabouts in nana's vehicle.. but yes it was a fun time for reals
Kosher, I am, if anything, an over-sharer, even when I fall into a bad light.. just reporting the life man.

BABY! You fish charmer.. and me charmer!
Dr. Bowl.. The danged ol' smoker is just too gnarly and rust fallin' all off it and shit to drag around the continent, but that turtle would have been a nice morsel properly smoked, no doubt.
jmac.. worst day fishing beats the best day working.. is my version, and true that is
Nick.. no doubt. T'anks man!
(and no, I don't mean any "small mouthed bass". Seems she's just as good at catching big mouthed carpenters......!!")
;-)

Catfish slime also has healing properties. See article, kinda cool.

Constant lightning and thunder, windows open... me and dog- chillin
Sky.. yeah no kidding-- farking sigh
• She's obviously isn't squeamish, based upon the fishing (and more so by the fact that she would date you're ugly ass).
• She rates about a 6.0 in the boobage department. It might be higher, but that can't be determined without pictures of full frontal nudity (hint, hint).
• Neither you nor Nana ended up drowned, "accidently knifed" or were smothered in your sleep, so she also scores high points for tolerance and patience.
- The down side for her is that she CLEARLY knows nothing about sex (as indicated by the fact he hasn't already dumped your ass and high tailed it towards the Iowa state line *ahem*)
So we will gather slime and sell it! Genius.. wow. Wonder if it helps sunburn? Catfish are awesome slimy creatures baby.
Amy... Dickweasel you say? OK, I'll cop ta that. How about cockwaffle? Pressed in the iron grid, presumably... damn. Ouch. Not that myself and all men don't deserve that, 'specially me though.
"Neither you nor Nana ended up drowned, "accidently knifed" or were smothered in your sleep, so she also scores high points for tolerance and patience."
Yeah no kidding...
And, nice spelling on the follow-up!
When we lose our bait we say we've been "bait raped" and the person closest to the bucket, male or otherwise, becomes "minnow bitch," having to catch and pass another minnow. Although Asia got a pass on that, 'til the second day :)
and Hi Julie THANKS
.. that I have often cleaned and eaten catfish. Fresh from a clean lake, prized flesh really. Many go after catfish exclusively, though I don't hang socially with many of them. It's a brutal process, cleaning them. Beginning with the killing. They're prehistoric and apparently highly evolved, in the healing ways with the slime, and not dying easily ways.
All it takes is a damn sharp knife, a pair of electrician's pliers and a big ass nail through the back of their heads!
See? Easy peasy! You treat them just like a man!
(well, at least how I think men should be treated anyways)
Catfish are, as you stated, "highly evolved" so I meant no disrespect to catfish by saying that they were like a man.
*waves* hi asia
However, since then, the yellowtail have been picking up. The guy I had dinner with today caught a 23 pounder.
I had fish this weekend too! Rally's fish bites and they tasted just like chicken nuggets.
(It's also nice to know you still found time for religion; nana's snake handling skills prove you're saved.)
so thankful (those) turtles don't fly...
oooo, good plan!! I've been training the snake in my back yard who lives under the shed to say, "Ola!!!" to everyone who passes!! What?
You train your snake how you want it, and I'll train mine how you want it!!!
And you got outfished by a girl!!!! TURN IN YOUR MAN CARD!!! Yes, yes, I know, you let her outfish ya, still...:D
If I had to walk barefoot for hundreds of miles...I would not set foot in your brother's vehicle if he offered me a ride. The whole snake thing, just cracked me up!
