October 20

Tried the old fishing thing again this morning. I'm sitting here to tell you the catching was really great but the keeping hardly bumped the needle. Later when fish cleaning time rises up on the list in my mind of things to do I might be thankful for that.

Only three keepers out of 24 caught doesn't come out as very good in anyone's book, except at cleaning time. It isn't to say that catching small ones doesn't allow for a little thrill but it quickly gets old.

For some, it takes longer to get them off the hook than it did to catch them. Wrestling them little rascals around always leaves you all smelled up with nothing to show.

I probably have a few more morsels of thought in there but there isn't a tooth pick within reach so I guess I'll leave'em stuck for now. I might have let that happen too many times in the past which could partly account for my rotten dirty old man mind.
