A Real Catch

What I know about fish You could fit on this dish But I thought I would give it a try So I bought me a pole Catching fish was my goal And I thought I could learn on the fly What's there too know ? How bad could it go It's as easy as baiting a hook You cast in your line, in a hole that you find loaded with oodles of snook So I started out early A bit feeling surly For rising before the sun When I got on the boat I was wearing my floats And the other began to make fun So we trolled out a ways Through the brown muck and haze To get to a spot, we all thought Had plenty of fish, but our inner wish Was to drink all the beer that we brought So I've learned, from that day The real fishermen's way And I'll never forget it, because It's not important the size, trophy or prize We're just out to catch good a buzz
