Well then;how about a little more detail. As I said, we caught 10 rock and 2 blues. Lou and I were taking turns at the rods. I would catch a couple and then we would switch and I would steer, and Lou would bring in a couple. At one point, the action was pretty steady. Lou was busy bringing in rock, unhooking them, and deciding on the cooler, or toss overboard.
I watched him bring in about 3 rock and the 4th fish was a nice sized blue.
In my mind, I knew exactly what was going to happen next.
I watched Lou reach down and lip the blue.
Now it wasn't a big bloody mess, his brain engaged just as he inserted his thumb. The blue got just a small piece of Lou's thumb, and his ego took the biggest hit.
He looked up at me and said, "can you believe I just did that"? I said, "I could see it unfolding before my eyes".
I guess it was our "senior moment" for the day.
God help us if we develope alsheimers (sp); heven knows where we will wind up on the water. I guess we will have to buy bigger boats with bigger gas tanks so we can find our way back to the ramp.
