Well, I had an interesting fishing excursion. As most of you know, I like to target the smallies at the rapids since I have easy access by land. After getting settled in on the rocks, I take my beer in one hand and rod in the other to move down stream just a bit. Well, my feet slipped right off a rock I was walking on, fell and my head hit one of the large boulders! Knoocked me out! For how long, I don't know, but when I came to, my beer and rod & reel were submerged in shallow water. It took me a few minutes to gather myself but I was able to shake it off. So what else was I supposed to do? Start fishing again of course. I scored this little 1 1/4 lb. smallie, followed by another 14 oz. smallie. Any day ya don't end up in the ER is a good day in my book! :lol:

Now thats a dedicated fishermen! I probably would have done the same!! The great thing is that you still kept record of their length and weight after all that. Glad it wasn't worse then it was and your doing good.

Glad your safe Tommy. Looks similar to the smallie I caught up there a couple of weeks ago. Love that bronze color.

Yea, I'm sure I'm worth more 6' under than I am now! :lol: The wife "usually" goes with me, but this was a rare occasion that she worked the 3-11 shift. Nothing wrong with her working to support me while I go fishing, right? 8) The Heineken was not as fortunate as I was. I guess I littered in Lake Wilson. Dang, I hope the EPA doesn't fine me for intoxicating the fishes! :P
