Rookie of the Year?
I know it’s early. I know he is young. But a fella can
sometimes tell quality when he see it. He was cool. He was calm. Not at all haughty like
some who have gone before him. My guest today is new to the DRCFA. He is only 28 years
old. (Ken Higginbotham fishes with Zebco’s that are older than that!) This was his
first trip on the ALVA D. He was collected and had only one thing on his mind….he
wanted to place in the tourney! What were the results of this ambitious young man’s
quest? We now have a new second place!! Who was my guest today? I thought you’d never
ask…..My guest today was one of County Line Baptist Church’s finest….Chris
“This is more fun than NASCAR!” Settle.
The Rest of the Story
Just yesterday our Sunday school lesson was on “foolish
talk”. Many times guys will get together and “talk smack” about what they
are going to do or not going to do. As I’ve said before, the proof is in the pudding.
Regardless of what others said or did, my boy Chris is a doer, not a talker. I’m not
gossiping or accusing anyone but it seems that Billy “I wanna be like Chris”
Turner may have talked some junk. All I can say to Mr. Turner is LOOK AT THE SCOREBOARD
AND SEE WHO’S BEHIND!
We caught a total of 14 Carp today. By popular demand I
dumped my “lucky shirt” and finally came out of my slump. The Ol’ Captain
boated 8 Carp with his best being a bit over 3 � lbs. What about Chris? This is his
story!! Chris warmed up with one a little over a pound. He then caught about a 2 �
pounder. He never broke stride. Soon thereafter, my boy hung into a 4 pounder. That baby
did so many figure 8’s that I thought Chris had hung onto Dale Earnhardt
Junior’s rear bumper!! He was so proud and so deserving! I can hardly wait to see him
in action again.
As usual, I am attaching a few pics. Eat your heart out
Billy. There will be other days.
Until next time, Keep on Carpin' !
