I was out fishing yesterday with my husband, Jimmy, and some friends on our SeaRay. We were out on the James River and the tide was running really fast, so we anchored the boat. We had been out for hours and had an ice chest full of fish.
I had just taken a fish off of my line. I usually have a paper towel in my poket, but for some reason, I didn't have one and my hands were slimmy. I went to cast the line out and the pole slipped from my hands. I ended up throwing my pole in the river!
I felt so dumb as I watched the pole sink. I couldn't believe I had just thrown a $200+ fishing pole and reel in the river!! Now, I know why I always have a paper towel in my pocket!! I immediately knew I would never hear the end of this!
My husband was not happy and he let me know it! I wasn't happy, either!
After a few minutes, everyone got back to fishing. I got another pole and carefully threw my line in. A little later, Jimmy threw his line in and said, "Your line's hooked onto mine."
"It's not my line," I replied. The others that were fishing said that he didn't have their lines either.
"Hey," I yelled, "Maybe it's my fishing pole!"
We all got excited as we began pulling in the line. As we pulled it in, we realized that the line had a fish on it! We kept pulling in line until up came my pole!! We couldn't believe it!!
The tide was moving fast and the only thing that kept the pole from being carried away was the fish! It was swimming around which allowed Jimmy's line to snag it. Unbelievable!
I knew this would be a story I would never hear the end of - I just didn't know the end of the story, yet!
