CB1100 in Alaska

[Nortoon_imp]

I went fishing with a friend this past week. It was miserably hot, and I got more bites from deer flies than fish. On the very last day before he headed back to Virginia, the weather cooled. A chap at the marina took pity on us and told us about his favourite spot. I caught a good sized bass and pike within half an hour.

When I held the pike to remove the rear treble hook it kicked and slammed the front treble hook into my thumb. After releasing the fish, I tried to remove the hook but had no luck. I did have a pair of pliers to cut the rest of the lure free.

Spend two hours in the waiting room of the local hospital. Finally got so fed up, I closed my eyes, gritted my teeth and began pulling and wiggling the offending piece of hook. I could hear people around me squealing and girl in the chair beside me bolted away. The receptionist finally got up off her fat fanny and ran to fetch someone one to deal with me.

After about 5 minutes of cursing the I finally worked it free. Left a couple of bloody Kleenexes and the barbed piece of hook on her desk to let her know what I thought about their emergency service.

My fishing buddy was annoyed that the hospital did not deal with me sooner. I was more annoyed because we lost a good day of fishing.

For you fishermen in the crowd the new Berkley Choppo top-water lure is worth the money. Both of those fish hiding under lily pads slammed it with big splash when it burbled past. I have three different colours, but the Black Chrome is the one that has caught the most fish.
