Yet another quick story from the holler. Went fishing on the James river with a friend yesterday. Took my boat out, to try the freshly rebuilt outboard out. We headed up the river a mile or two, and dropped anchor so we could do a little cat fishing. Threw out a couple of lines and almost instantly got a bite on one. Reeled it in, wasn't very big just a couple pound channel cat. But got us excited anyway, as they continued to bite cast after cast. After a couple hours of non stop catching of smaller fish, I decided to cast farther out in the deep water in hopes of catching big mam hua //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif Threw my line out, let it drift down from the boat. Then I saw the rod twitch, so I rared back and set the hook. When I did the rod almost doubled over. I thought holy $hit this ones a monster. I started reeling and it felt kind of funny. No surging or anything, just a constant steady dead pull. Thinking I got moby d!ck on the end of the line I tell my friend to get the net ready, and I'll swing him up next to the back of the boat. Got him up close to the boat, pulled back so my friend could get him in the net. My friend stuck the net in the water and about fell out of the boat laughing. I asked him what was so funny, and he said my monster catch. I walk to the back of the boat and there in the net sits a 3 hp sears outboard //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/omg.gif.05aa02c3095d6ce9338996654eca0863.gif I have caught allot of strange things in my life, but never an outboard before. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
