More Fishing

Yesterday I set out with my rod, live bait, and my new hat.

 

I lost four worms. That's because the fish were biting but I did not get anything. That is until I got lucky. I got another bite and this time I got  something.  A piece of seaweed.

I think I will catch an old boot next. My dad and I were trying to guess how the "catch the old boot when fishing" idea came from. My dad pointed out that people had been fishing with rods for a long time and wearing boots even longer so there is probably a cave drawing of a fisher catching a boot.

Oliver, Shermie just asked me where the catching the boot while fishing gag came from the other day! He's at Pop Mannion's right now, so maybe I'll suggest to Shermie that he ask him. You know how Pop Mannion likes to sink his teeth into a good origin question!

whever it came from it made me laugh - the cave drawing thing. :-)
