Some days you just get lucky...
Speaking of which, me and my good friends host the Hook, Line and Drinker Fishing Tournament every spring or summer. The first year was tough b/c the fishing was slow and it was God awful hot! One of our teams failed to land a fish all day long and they finally gave up before the end of legal fishing time. So they started idling back to deeper water and a freakin' mullet jumped in the boat! Now, the funny thing is, we have a Trash Fish category. So, after a full day of NOTHING, they all of a sudden have SOMETHING and all due to a crazy twist of fate. Elsewhere across the lake, a similar situation is brewing but one of our friends only catches one catfish (which makes it in our Trash Fish category). He thinks he's getting a trophy and back at the landing, his partner who had had a few too many in the late afternoon sun, goes through the live well, starts chunking fish over board and grabs that catfish and informs everyone that it was the smaller of the two and chunks it overboard as well. Well, they had only caught one catfish and it was swimming away before ever being weighed.
The flying mullet won! We got lots of laughs.
