2016 Cat Contest Stickleback
#4
I decided I would try the Jordan River again to see if I could bump my score or at least have a little R&R. I started at 10 pm and it was fast and furious until 1 am. I was getting exercise about every 15 minutes. The most I have ever had on the river. All were 20 to 24. Then like an off switch there was nothing. At about 2:30 I started packing up when I heard something I had not heard in 2 years. My drag!!!!! This is what went down over the next 5 minutes and I am not making this up.

I sprinted to my pole like Usian Bolt which was easily 4 or 5 feet from where I was standing. 10.27 seconds later I had that pole in my hand when we started the tug-a-war. The reel continued to make that very old but familiar sound while beast swam right for a tree that looked like it came from a seen straight out of the Wizard of Oz. It reached down and grabbed my lined looked at me then let out a diabolical laugh. About 3 minutes later while I was still "expressing my feelings" the tree just let go. I can only assume now that it understands #%~?!!, %&$*%!!!. At that point I was able to convince the beast to swim into my net and come ashore for a photo opportunity.

This will definitely bump my low score. I am hoping for all 10's but will be happy for 9's or better.

[#00bf00]Not exactly correct format, like the where when and how long, but it was entertaining and I'll give you a 27.5 points for style... J[/#00bf00]
