It was SO BIG !

[Ketchn]

Float went down like it had a rock on it , Set the hook and it didn't move , then it started to get really ugly .....
thought my my this one is a dandy , the drag was just right and the fight raged on .....
rolled once or twice and silly me thought , me needs a video of this here river monster .....fumbled around and got some video of the raging battle .....
possibly one for the record books I thought as we played tug a war ....
got one hand on the camera and one on the rod and started to video .....
as it neared the shoreline it "appeared" to be hook really well ....
thunk man oh man johnny b ketchn got a real good one this time, and even though
it didn't seem to care for this episode of ketchn / ketchn very much .....
water just a flying all over the place as it tried to escape me,
drag was just a singing that tune ,
I just knew it was going to be an image festival full of selfies .....
THEN POOF IT WAS GONE !
my bad ....

Well darn. That's how it goes sometimes. Whats that saying "don't count your chickens before they hatch"

I've learned to enjoy those battles somewhat. That fish beat me. I enjoyed the ride and I don't even have to get my hands wet to turn it loose.

The one that got away

Sometimes the big ones get away, fact

So well do I know that sinking feeling of sudden let-down and disappointment... as so many others do too.
I hope the Lord lets me stick around to feel many more... since they do seem so few and far between.

Reminds me of a joke from back in the old days about a big fish. "Yeah, that fish was so big, we took a picture of it and the negative weighed 3 pounds!"
