The one that got away.... but didn't

Kinda shows my age...

1977 winter time in Alaska serving Uncle Sam lake trout fishing on Quartz lake.Ice over 10" thick with vehicles (3 or 4) driven out onto it.At that time I had exactly 1 fishing pole to my name as a young GI.The water was crystal clear,10-12 foot deep and you could see everything on the bottom through a ice hole.We angered holes and there was already holes from other fishermen in the ice.
Salmon eggs on a hook with a small split shot.Bites were kinda slow ,but hey,we were fishing catching just an occasional lake trout.....Light bulb turns on and I get an idea......Have a buddy watch my pole while I walk across the ice to get a stick.Bring the stick back,cut my line,tie it to the stick and now I have two fishin poles....The stick is about 4 foot long and the ice hole is best I remember 12 ". I tie my line to the middle of the stick,put hook,split shot,and salmon eggs on it and drop it in an unused ice hole.Rigged first pole and resumed beer drinkin duties at the campfire on the ice nearby.Yes, you can burn a campfire on top of the ice in the winter......
After awhile I saw the stick fishing pole making good time headed for the hole.I hustled across the ice as fast as I could but when the stick got to the hole one end entered the hole and my new fishing pole was gone...Dang I hated that,how could I be so unlucky as to have a 4' stick,line tied in the middle, go into a 12" hole?????
Quite awhile passed when I noticed the first pole heading for its' ice hole.Double-timed it and got a hold of the handle with the tip pointing down into the hole.Reeled it in and had a descent lake trout but there was another line wrapped around the end of my line..Got on my knees and began pulling it in.Looking into the hole short time later appears my 4' stick stuck under the ice(like it should have been on top of the ice). Pull the other end of the line and lo and behold there's the fish that got away but didn't........Who woulda thunk?

Hey call it coincidental but just today I submitted an order for all the new Pico INT colors.....Good luck to all other participants....

Attachment 337064We were fishing on this old boat, my previous boat, casting the shallows with a Rooster Tail. My buddy casts, and it goes over a limb, and is dangling about three inches above the water. A smallish bluegill begins to jump out of the water, trying to get the Rooster Tail! After about four jumps, he succeeded, and my buddy proceeded to fight the limb, with a gill attached to his lure!

My dad who taught me and was my fishing buddy were fishing at Lake Lucas in the winter time. We both had insulated coveralls on and were trolling along the bank casting looking for bass or anything that would bite. I happened to throw up into an overhanging tree and we went over to get it. Couldn’t quite reach it so told dad hold the chair and I would step up and grab it. Well around swings the chair and dumps me right in the water boots and all. Once I surface and scramble back into the boat with the help of my dad the laughter starts. Well I’m blaming him, he’s blaming me we are both laughing. It’s not cold ( I’m freezing) let’s keep fishing. Nope my dad knows better so home we go. I can’t even remember if we got the lure or not but I will never forget this memory of many I have with my dad. I miss him everyday.

Pulling picos with my brother at a local state lake when my brother said look at that snake behind the boat! He had managed to snag him when he got him up to the back of the boat the snake wrapped around my steering cable and we were in a tug of war! My brother was on the front deck yelling he wants the crank bait just let him have it you can see he wants it just give it to him lol!!!PICO catches everything

Funny story!!! Watching 4 Alabama boys pick up a picnic table with Billbob still sitting on the bench seat and move it into the shade, Crankfest 2018 , and believe we have pictures?

Are you trying to hold that little snake closer to the camera to make it look bigger? LOL

We arrived back at the dock on a windy day. I stepped out and was going to secure the boat, but the wind blew it away from the dock. My wife reached out so I could grab her hand and pull the boat ( with her in it) to the dock. Needless to say, my pulling caused her to lose her balance, and she splashed down. Instinctively, I scrambled for the boat! I stayed dry, but was in hot water, if you get my “drift”!
