It was a cold winter day as an old man walked out onto a frozen lake, cut a hole in the ice, dropped in his fishing line, and waited patiently for a bite.
He was there for almost an hour, without even a nibble, when a young boy walked up and cut a hole in the ice next to him. The young boy then dropped in his fishing line and, minutes later, hooked a largemouth bass.
The old man couldn't believe his eyes but chalked it up to plain luck. Shortly thereafter, the young boy pulled in another large catch, and he kept catching fish after fish. Finally, the old man couldn't take it any longer. "Son," he said, "I've been here for more than an hour and haven't even had a nibble. You've been here only a few minutes and have caught a half-dozen fish! How do you do it?"
The boy responded, "Roo raf roo reep ra rums rrarm."
"What was that?" the old man asked.
Again the boy responded, "Roo raf roo reep ra rums rrarm."
"Look, Sonny" said the old man, "I can't understand a word you're saying."
The boy then spat a wad of bait into his hand and said, "You have to keep the worms warm!"
Sooo...I reckon my advice to all you cold-weather fishin' folks is to keep your baits warm...and, in case you're using artificials, beware all those treble hooks.
