Fishing Stories and Tall Tales

[Ridx]

Here is a pretty funny story. At least i think it was, My father would not agree if he was still with us.

I was only 14 or 15 at the time (34now) and my dad took me to a pond on 24 highway jsut outside of Brantford to go bass fishing. We were there for about an hour and i had already landed a 5lb smally ( biggest smallie ive ever caught) but the bigger fish was yet to come. I was casting a green/orange rapala and all of a sudden during one of my casts I was snagged in the tree behind me... or so I thought. Without looking I jsut started yanking my rod trying to free lure from the so called tree.. Well didn't my dad start screaming at me to stop. I had hooked him in the back of the neck! When i realised what i had done i dropped my rod and started running down 24 towards home afraid he was going to kill me! He called me back and we packed up and took the trip to the walk in clinic where after many hours in the waiting room and alot of laughs and people staring the hook was removed!

Now when i take my kids fishing, because of this incident I am always aware of where they are casting so i don't end up on the painfull end of the same situation!
