To the best of my recollection this was probably
the first big fish I ever caught. Maybe the first.
I wasn't very old. My grandfather had taken me
fishing in a creek up in Indiana. We were standing
at the bottom of a slope when I caught this big
carp. I immediately turned around and ran up the
slope and dragged that fish right up on the bank.
My grandfather like to had a fit. That ain't no way
to catch a fish he says but he was laughing all the
time. Several years later my two brothers were
fishing in a pay pond not to far from that creek and
had been there all night and only had this big
carp. Early the next morning this dandy dressed
in a fancy suit shows up and wants to know if
anybody has any fish for sale. My brother says
I got a carp. The dandy says I'll give you $5.00
for it. OK my brother says. So this guy takes that
carp and wipes it all over his suit and tie and gets
mud on his shoes and my brother asks. Do you
mind telling me what your doing. The dandy says
my wife thinks I been fishing all night. My brother
says and you expect her to beleive it dressed
like that. The dandy says she'll beleive anything I tell her. Rightttttttttttttt
