I'm Getting Too Old For This...

[Al Agnew]

Al, I remember you taking me on that stretch and what a day it was. Of course, you out fished me out of the back of the boat all day, and that pull up that bank out of the river was a chore but, well worth it. Thanks for sharing your trip you write it so well it felt like I was on that log with ya fishing for a lost fishing pole.

What cwc doesn't say is that sure, I caught more fish than he did, and maybe bigger smallies, but he pulled a largemouth that was easily six pounds out of a deep rootwad...in fact, it was a rootwad that was just 100 yards or so upstream from the one where I lost my rod.
