Yea, the ou'de'ouvre'ripe cologne is maybe the reason for the saying "the only girl that'd be with'm would have to be related". I hear tell, out here in Utah there's a similar situation right down south next to you'all's own Dixie. But enough of that hill-billy talk. Back to fishing.
I never really gave it much though about the quality of what the cat fishes diet back then. Every time I open a fish's stomach to look at the contents, I saw that almost every kind of fish had black goo in it's guts. When I was a kid, I just figured all fish were bottom feeders and ate bugs and worms most of the time. Anyway, somebody's mom would cook'm up so they tasted just fine - that's what was important.
My first major fishing frustration out here in the west, was adjusting to the clear water. It seem like for the longest time, all I did was spook fish from what seem like an awfull long ways away. I was also amazed that I could actually see fish in the water to know that I spooked them. Learning to fish for trout in almost completely transparent water for the first time, made me resort back to my childhood "commando fishing tactics".
