| Posted by Michelle Angelini on 12/02/04 at 10:40 PM Oh, Charlie, I'm gonna tell Santa Clause on you! I loved this! In my state of being half-awake, it gave me a lift I needed. ;-) |
| Posted by Mary Ellen Smith on 12/04/04 at 04:33 AM ah...sounds like a fish tale to me...lol |
| Posted by Kristine Briese on 12/04/04 at 04:56 AM Charlie, I can always come to your library when I need a little lift. Wonderful! |

Absolutely funny! The poor fisherman's plight! Still laughing! |
| Posted by David R Spellman on 12/04/04 at 01:19 PM *laughing* A scene I've witnessed (and felt) on the few occassions that I've gone fishing. You've captured well the frustration in your usual witty style and even put a bit of a devilish plan in place too! Superb! |
| Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 12/04/04 at 11:47 PM As only you could write (or maybe right?) it Charlie. Reminds me of a time my brother and I when kids went fishing at a lake near where we lived. Everytime we dunked our worms in the water, scads of bass and perch congregated, but we couldn't catch a single one. They darn fish were smart enough to nibble at the worms without swallowing the hook! Now there's a fish story for ya...and it's true!!! |

| Posted by Kyle Anne Kish on 12/05/04 at 06:43 PM I'm sure glad I'm not a fish! |
| Posted by Mike Loftis on 12/05/04 at 11:41 PM heh heh heh Fun stuff Charlie. |
| Posted by Rula Shin on 12/06/04 at 06:30 PM Hahahahaha! Oh yes very funny...thanks for that image, you really made me smile...those darn fish! Think they're so smart! |
| Posted by Glenn Currier on 12/07/04 at 05:22 AM LOL... only another fisherman could fully appreciate this one. How many times have those wonderful little creatures brought me frustration instead of the peace I reach for.. uh.. cast for... Another delight in the Minshall style. |
