[inline "Cat Fish.jpg"][laugh] Wasn't sure how this would go over since it's not an actual "fish" involved and posted in misc. , had macfly55 check it out and he suggested I share it here.too................
"CAT" fishing......
Most appropriate place I could find to post this. Back in my drinking days (ok years), down in the middle of the Mojave desert, hours from real fishing and visiting with my very social little sis for a few days, this just kind of happened.
She was having the only giant neighborhood party of her life, I think it started in 1974 and still sounded strong last time I called. Anyways, the local conversation (ok, bunch of drooling ruffians all trying to talk over each other) gravitated to fishing, then catfishing.
Long story short, we ended up tying the cats favorite little catnip stuffed mouse to my light spinning combo and cast it from the living room couch into the kitchen about 30 feet away. Mind you the kitchen group has no idea what was going on and on our first cast all we netted was a few priceless looks.
Very second cast out, wiggled it a little bit and wow, what a strike, 20 pound striper, Turbo the cat absolutely pounced on it and tore out the pet door stripping line like mad. Three of us traded off fighting that cat for several minutes and actually got it landed back at the couch.
You have a cat, you have to try this, raises the bar on hysterically funny stuff [img]../../../images/gforum/laugh.gif[/img] [img]../../../images/gforum/shocked.gif[/img] [img]../../../images/gforum/

d and said I told you Id catcht the biggest fish on the stream.. he looked at me rubbing his lip and then we both burst out laughing. It took a bit to settle down from the laughing but we did. Occassionally Id see him rubbing his lip and start laughing again but since he was not seriously hurt it was all in good fun..

Well I can't think of one right now, however this tale is not funny for it really pi**ed me off at the time. A few years ago while I was staying in Victor Idaho decided to ask the local Fly Fishing outlet as to where a good place would be to wet a fly. The gal who owned the shop gave me a hand drawn map so off I went. After leaving the hwy the dirt & gravel road was worse than traveling on a wash board. I had to keep my speed down to less than 10 mph or take the chance of being thrown through the roof of my car. Don't think that my dog enjoyed the trip either. About a half hour later I came to the location that the gal described. She neglected to mention a minor detail.[shocked] What might that be - WATER! Well there was a few drop. Yea maybe for a gold fish bowl. Oh did you notice the barbed wire? No way was I going try to get through & ruin a good pair of Simm waders. Oh well live & learn.
