Lost Minnow

[glenmorebuckman]

While doing some night stalking on ky. lake this last weekend, I baited up a pole and lowered it over the side then poured me a big cup of coffee and settled in for the wait. After about 15 minutes I happened to think of another pole I had in the boat with me and thought I'd bait it up to, so I got a big minnow out of the bucket and about the time I started to put it on the hook my other pole had a hit, so I threw the minnow down and grabbed the pole and reeled in an 11 inch crappie. I put him in the livewell and started looking for the lost minnow in the bottom of the boat but it wasn't anywhere in sight, so i grabbed some fresh minnows out of the bucket and went back to fishing. Well, after about 10 minutes I started getting a little hungry and the coffee had cooled enough to drink so I ate a snack cake and finished off most of the coffee when low and behold in the bottom of my cup was the lost minnow!!!! Now , I shined my light in the cup when I first started looking for him and thought that if he was in there he would float. Let me be the first to tell you, Minnows Don't Float In Hot Coffee!!!!

That's funny. I wonder if some cool coffee might make our minnows more 'lively.' Give 'em a little caffeine buzz?

Now did you go ahead and use it, because if it worked you may have found a new bait scent not yet out there.:rolleyes: Thanks for the laugh.:D

I worked the loading docks before I started driving,one night I ran over a case of Jerky and it was gonna get tossed, so I picked up a pack and eat it.The more I chewed the bigger and tougher it got. I went back to the case it was DOGGY TREATS!

I still want to chase cars sometime!:D
