A Lack of Exposure maybe ?

Sometimes in certain circumstances, a lack of exposure could be your downfall. Wanted to say Merry Christmas to my friend that owns the dock I frequent on my lunch breaks.
After saying Hello and Merry Christmas and handing a big ole Christmas turkey to him, I ambled down the way a bit to see if some fish might want to cooperate.
Had on a jacket, long sleeve shirt and of course a trusty Crappie.com T-shirt under it all to complete the ensemble.
Well to say the bite was slow would be an understatement, bought though it was a striped weasel event and THEN >>>>
K A B O O M ! Man, what a THUMP, set the hook and then it began. Thought boy howdy, saddle up Cowboy, this here is a MONSTER crappie and "if" I can land it, there will be some selfies ......
So to and fro we went with me just at least wanting to get a glimpse of said MONSTER and sure enough after a bit, a white big, shouldered form rolled down deep and my heart skipped a beat, thought holy you know what that is a beast of a crappie right there.
A few more forever moments as it pulled hard under the dock and took drag and then the depression set in .....
A ding dong drum and the moral of this fish story is this .....for sure NOT a crappie ....
A Lack of Exposure maybe the problem, not exposing your Crappie.com paraphernalia could cause you to ketch an ever-dreaded drum fish, yet again more scientific evidence about my Crappie.com theories....
p.s. white hand tie in case you needed to know

mind you this as well , there were some crappie involved , but yet again not in the numbers I prefer and or the size range expectable either, yet again, most likely caused ...by .... A Lack of Exposure maybe ?
