The Jackpot


March 27, 2013

Talk about good fortune…  ‘catching’ trout bait and then a passel of fresh trout!  Just in time for dinner!  

Dinner

Seems the neighbors are lightening their load a bit.  The guys from Alabama had an early AM departure and no longer needed trout bait.  I thanked them for the fishing advice and bait before wishing them a safe journey. 

Bob
A bit further down the road Bob gets out of his truck with a bag filled with trout, ten to be exact which is the creel limit.  As I admired his catch he said “You want these, I don’t have time to clean them.  I have to fix a leak from a fitting that broke with the freeze.”  Now, my mother did not raise a fool so I said “Why thank you.  How about if I clean them and bring them back?”  But Bob said “My box is filled with fish from yesterday, you can have them.”    



So, I headed back to camp with a shopping bag filled with trout.  As I pulled out the knives, bowls, and newspaper to clean the fish Billy said “Want some help?”  Again, my mother did not raise a fool so I said “Certainly.  What do you want me to do?”  Billy replied, “Bring another bowl, I’ll cleaned them.” 



Pretty good day!
