High said he would like to hear some of my fishing stories in another thread. I got 2 unless someone gives one that brings up a memory.
About 10 years ago I was at my brothers resort in northern Minnesota. Friends came up from Minneapolis. My brother and I were out in a boat and my friends wife was fishing off a dock. All of a sudden her line took off. She cranked and cranked to bring the line in. Well she finally got it to where she could see what she caught. She had hooked a Loon. Or the Loon took her minnow. Well the Loon also saw her and away he went and stripped here reel. Some guy in a boat chased it down and removed the hook and line.
here is the second part of the story now this is the same day mind you. That night my friend, brother, and I were out Walleye fishing. I'm at the back of the pontoon, my friend, is in the front, and my brother operating the motor. All of a sudden we hear our friend yelling let go of it you sob, let go of it. We turn and look and here he is fighting with a sea gull that had taken his bait. We ragged on both of them some people fish for fish but they drove up to fish for birds.
Next story: My grandparents were avid fishermen and they raised me until I was 12 so our Sunday afternoon fun was fishing. My grandfather like to have a lot of weight on his reel so he could really send it out from shore. Well I watched him send it out and all we saw was a bunch of feathers falling into the lake along with a stunned sea gull. Then on another trip he he caught 2 fish at once on one hook. The fish had swallowed the hook and it went out the gill and another fish took it.
