jigsaw 11,899 Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 heres the scene..im in Spanish Point,county Clare ,walked out a long way ,to escape the madding crowd ...of tourists(of which im one)..casting a jelly eel lure for pollack ,bass off the rocks.. hooked 2 and got them in ,,tea is sorted ..its probably 500 yards out from the fields where i am ..silence and the sea ...no people or traffic or tourists..cast again,and again...you know how it goes...until i get THAT bite,when you know its a good fish...fight is on,,i draw him in a bit ,then he takes off again,,i draw him in another bit and he fights back,BUT im getting the better of him,,in the end he is a spent force,,so I now have to get him up the 3 feet rock face to the flat level ground..The rod is doubled over ,a 6 lb (roughly) bass..I drag him up inch by inch,hes still flapping and wriggling about,,his head hits the top of the flat rock im standing on,,I give one last lift .....the unthinkable happens,,the hook shoots from his mouth,,he falls back down ...INTO HIS WATERY ESCAPE... I cant believe it...hes gone ..In dismay,and temper .i slam the rod to the ground and scream out loud....''WELL f**k ME SIDEWAYS ....f**k f**k f**k''...... and as i turn in a swirl of despair,there standing not 4 feet away is a holy catholic nun,dressed in her religious garb, and a cross and chain around her neck and a big red face on her...and boy do i realise what i just shouted...i apologised with sincerity,and was mortified as to what i just did but she just smiled and said ''THAT WAS A VERY NICE FISH YOU HAD THERE''...erm...yes i f****n know i thought to myself ,,and that was one of my most highly embarrasing moments ive encountered in a while .. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
