If You Snooze, You Lose...


So the saying goes, but Skip proved that isn't always the case.

Yesterday morning, he got up early to go fishing. When he looked out the window, though, it was super foggy, so he said to himself, "I'll wait for it to burn off." That decision likely was a good one, but then he made what some would say was a not-so-good decision.

You see, he decided to sit down in his favorite recliner. Moments later, he found his "comfort zone"... and, yes, you guessed it: Skip went sound to sleep. Perhaps it was his dreaming about all the big ones getting away that startled him into waking up, getting his things together, and heading to West Neck Marina. Whatever it was, Skip turned his snooze into a winning day, as evidenced by this fish resting in his landing net. It was one of four bass that Skip boated during his four hours on the water.

"They were all small," he said, but as I see it, who can complain when you cop a few extra morning Z-Z-Z-Z and still manage to put a few fish in the boat before day is done?
