| I was in Southwest Florida and was asked to go | | | | "what's wrong?" He said something to the |
| fishing by one of the pro bass fisherman there. | | | | effect......"it's really something when a guy is nice |
| Thinking I would learn a lot that day, I graciously | | | | enough to take you fishing with him and then you |
| accepted his kind offer. | | | | do him the way you are." I said "what in the |
| So, we begin our trip to Lake Okeechobee about | | | | world are you talking about?" He said "I mean I |
| 4 hours away. We put this bass boat in and away | | | | take you out in my boat and you catch all the |
| we went......full throttle! I soon realized these boats | | | | fish and out fish me." I thought he was kidding. I |
| don't have a slow or medium speed, when you hit | | | | soon found out he wasn't kidding at all. So, now, |
| the key, you're on your way as fast as the boat | | | | instead of enjoying myself, I made it a point not |
| would go. When you stop, you stop completely. | | | | to catch any more fish. |
| Anyway, here we go about 90 miles an hour | | | | We got done that afternoon and got home. I told |
| down Lake Okeechobee. | | | | him thank you for taking me fishing with him but |
| Then we began fishing. I was so excited, I mean | | | | please don't ask me again. I said I still considered |
| fishing this lake that is known for big bass and in | | | | him a friend but not a good fishing buddy. I wasn't |
| this bass boat that can go a million miles an hour | | | | there to compete with him like the other |
| and with a pro too, what a day! Then I started | | | | fishermen he fishes with apparently but went just |
| catching fish, then another, then another and my | | | | to enjoy myself and have the experience of |
| pro friend hasn't caught one. Well, it didn't matter | | | | fishing Lake Okeechobee. |
| to me if I caught one or not but it apparently did | | | | Needless to say, that was one of the worse |
| to him. The next thing I know he has this big old | | | | experiences I have had fishing for bass. |
