My turn.
For those of you who have never seen TD on the water, here's a view of his radio shack, and the first of yesterday's kitty litter.

As for my day, that shot of my "stringer" says it all. I avoided a skunk only on a technicality. I hooked what I thought was a walleye or wiper while trolling a crankbait, only to have it transmogrify into a nice crappie at boatside. I foolishly tried to lip it, wherupon it magically made my lure disappear from its mouth and reappear in my hand. Luckily, nothing went barb deep. Lesson re-re-re-learned: never stick fingers where treble hooks dance.
The shark mouth is a recent addition, and I'm beginning to think it does nothing to scare water skiers away, but works like a charm on fish. Maybe there's something in fish genes about 14-foot great whites...
