Hook, line, and stinker [View all]

[madamesilverspurs]

Being a devoted trout angler I was disappointed when Comcast and a local fishing program parted ways. I’d enjoyed that program since, thanks to covid and climate and COPD, it’s been a couple years since I last fished. So, I surprised myself by watching a bass fishing tourney on some lake in Texas. At one point one of the contestants decided to try his luck fishing under a dock festooned with a big Trump flag. He hooked one, reeled it in, and dropped it on the floor of the boat, earning him a two-minute time out. Then the fish weighed in under the minimum and could not be counted. The fisherman plopped down onto the deck, scowling in the direction of that flag. And I laughed so hard I gave myself a charlie horse.
