A few weeks ago I took a day off from work and went to Kentucky Lake to do some fishing. I’m not very good, but you know what they say, a bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work. It was a nice day, rained a little but I was under a boat dock, so I stayed dry.
I was there about an hour, when a man in a fishing boat came into my little cove. The boat was one of those expensive bass boats. It was equipped with a Johnson motor, trolling motor, and probably depth finder. I was quickly out classed. He was pretty good, casting his bait like a professional, catching more in five minutes than I did all day.
