Fishing

Scan the river and pick a spot Choose your lure and tie a knot May catch them all, may get none To not get skunked, just catch one Throw it out, and reel it in Then over and over and over again The pole tip bends, the line goes tight The drag is pulled as a fish takes flight Just hold the rod and let it run This tug of war is half the fun Still pulling hard, the spool winds down Now crank the reel, stop losing ground Trust your knots and trust your gear The battle’s turned, the fish draws near Now getting close, can see the flash And now a rise and a violent splash A monster smallie, eight pounds for sure She shakes her jaw and throws the lure Back under water, the bass swims off The line goes limp, the trophy lost
