My brother was playing a crappie lure at the side of the boat just to watch its action. A 10 pound or so pike made a rush at the lure, which startled the daylights out of my brother, so by reflex he jerked the lure out of the water before the pike could get it. I told him, "Be careful - you might catch something."

An ex-boss fileted a few pike and then started to clean up. To amuse his kid, he made a show of sticking his finger into a dead pike's mouth with predictable results. Yes sir, dead pike latched onto his finger with authority resulting in a lot of cursing and dancing, and a couple stitches at the doctor.


Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.
