From 6 'til 8:45 a.m., he had nada to show for his efforts..."not even a tail slap," to use his own words. From 8:45 'til 9:30 a.m., though, it was an altogether different story. He caught a total of seven fish. There was just one problem: His scales were nowhere to be found.
As is always true of any good fisherman, however, DMac had a backup plan. He had an emergency stick-on yardstick...one that he's been meaning to mount on the boat but just hasn't yet found the time to do (probably because he's too busy catching fish most of the time). Anyway, that yardstick revealed that two of those seven fish measured 13 inches, three were 14 inches, one was 19 inches, and the anchor measured 21.5 inches.
Said DMac, "I thought for sure it was gonna be 'that kind of day,' but to my chagrin, it shut off just as fast as it started. From 9:30 'til noonish, I couldn't buy another strike (W-A-A-A-H!). One of my 10,000 frogs on the boat saved my day."
