[#0000bf]MacLarry is my son in law. We went to visit them this past July in TN. He had took advantage of several chances that were given to us and wet a line on a small river near their place. On the last day before we left he and I went fishing for the last time. [/#0000bf]
[#0000bf][/#0000bf]
[#0000bf]He was upstream of me by about 20 yards and fishing a small little hole where he was catching some small gills. [/#0000bf]
[#0000bf][/#0000bf]
[#0000bf]I moved up a bit, then a bit more firguring he was moving up as well. Turns out he was so intent on his little honey hole that he did not notice me moving upstream. [/#0000bf]
[#0000bf][/#0000bf]
[#0000bf]I had been casting upstream and letting my fly drift down with the current. Id gotten to a point where I turned and was casting downstream into a small hole.[/#0000bf]
[#0000bf][/#0000bf]
[#0000bf]My back was to MacLarry and as I was backcasting I hear this loud (cussing) yell from behind me. Something told me to stop my forward cast (probably the cussing :- ) ) I turned around to see (and hear) that he was messing with my line. I walked up to see what was going on and saw that I had hooked him in his upper lip. It was not deep and it was a barbless hook so it was easy enough for him to remove. [/#0000bf]
[#0000bf][/#0000bf]
[#0000bf]Afterwards we kind of looked at him and
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.. [/#0000bf]
