My night before Christmas

[gone fission]

'Twas the night before Christmas,
And I was still on the lake.

Not a care in the world,
I don't have to remember no date!

I was comin in, but slow,
cause the sign said "No Wake".

So I was a headed twards the ramp when what should appear?,
A great big ol stump!.. my graph show it quite clear.

Hadda think fast, all though I know it ain't right,
toss out that marker buoy whilst there's still some dang light!

My ol' MinnKota deployed with the greatest of ease,
And it darn well should have cuz I just got it greased.

I flung out those jigs, and then let them fall,
the fish hit hard, not nary a stall.

Those were the biggest crappie I'd ever seen,
Some so large I feared my knife could not clean!

Then out of the night there came such a clatter,

I felt the boat shake, and turned to look...
the Boss Lady was a climbin' the swim ladder!

Up on the rear deck she did appears,
All soakin wet from the swim... or was it the tears?

I don't remember much after that I recall,
Can't even remember goin home, if at all.

Now, the lesson here is to fish way off shore,
further out ... way out.. EVEN MORE.

A good GPS will guide you all right,
Far, far away...Way outta sight.

Good fishin to all,
And to all a good GPS and
Good Night.
