My AMAZING FISHING stories

1) I was fishing at a pond near my house and I ran out of bait. I took one of the grapes from my lunch bag, put a big hook through it, cast out my line and dragged the grape across the top of the water. I ended up catching a large mouth bass by doing that.
2) I was using an artificial fly as bait one day, and while I was just standing there, a small bullfrog jumped out and bit the fly. As I was realing in the line, a bass bit down on the frog and swallowed it. I realed in the catch. The bass wasn't hooked, it was only held to the line because it had swallowed the frog.
3) I was fishing in 4 feet of water along a wall in Galveston, TX. I didn't have any bait, so I went to the exchange on base and bought some beef jerkey. I ended up catching a 23" flounder with a piece of beef jerkey.
4) I was fishing with some of the younger neighborhood kids at the pond near my house. One of them caught a small sunfish and couldn't get the hook out. He was keeping the small sunny in the water so it wouldn't die. I went over to help him get the hook out, and noticed a large mouth bass coming over to check out the small sunfish. I told the kid to keep very still and to keep the sunfish in the water. Then I swooped in with my net and caught the bass. I was like a hero to these kids when they saw that!
5) My little brother (about 6 at the time) caught a bass at the same pond and was bringing it to my Grandparent's house up the road. As he was doing so, the fish jumped out of the bucket and landed in a storm drain on the side of the road. My brother was so upset that he ran home crying and told Dad what happened. Dad went to the storm drain, lifted up the heavy metal grate, and jumped down in there. As he was in there, a neighbor drove by and asked my Dad what he was doing. My Dad replied "I'm fishing." and then he held up the bass. The expression on the neighbor's face was truly priceless.

The only lie in all of those stories is concerning the flounder... it was really 25" not 23" [:D] Seriously though, I promise that all of those stories are true. [:)]
