Gone Fishin'

I have a theory that fishing is a lot like playing BINGO. I came up with this theory while fishing. You have a lot of time to think while you're fishing and the mind tends to wander. That's the awesome thing about fishing...and playing BINGO.

You buy all the gear--poles, bait, license etc. (Bingo card and marker)

You cast your line and wait (Wait for the caller to call any number on your board).

A fish takes a little nibble on your line, slyly eats half the worm and swims happily away (You need N32, the caller calls N33 and the old lady next to you yells out "BINGO").

You have a brief rush of adrenaline which quickly subsides but like a trooper, you re-cast your line and try again (Clear your BINGO board for another round).

But finally...you find a sweet spot, the numbers are all in a row and...
BINGO!

(Julia caught the first fish--a brook trout and Bob caught the second--a rainbow trout).

And they cooked up nicely tonight!
