We enjoyed having you Lucky D.S. Since I gave you the name, I'll tell the story. One day Chris is fishing with me and someone else. We are fishing sails using ballyhoo and tiny circle hooks. I'd explained to him that you gotta let them swallow it, count to 10 with the reel in free spool, then slowly come up on the drag and reel slowly to get the hook in the corner of their mouth. Chris said he understood, and he was up for the next bite. I was in the chair, enjoying a cold Panama beer with one of the light rods in the chair holder that was clipped to the center rigger as a shotgun line. We were using just enough drag to keep the line from running off the reel when ZING, Mr. Sail picks up the 'hoo and runs off. Chris grabbed the rod out of the holder and began striking like Bill Dance sticks a "hawg" bass on TV. I hollered "No, No, you Dumb S**t, it's a circle hook!!!!, drop it back". Anyway, he did, and thus the name Lucky Dumb Sh*t, cause the sail picked it back up on the drop and got hooked. Nice air show later he was released.
Lucky D.S. came to me sheepishly and promised he'd never do it again, and he did not. I imposed some rules on him for a potential return visit, most of which he recited above, but he left out the one his Pop, Terry, kept saying: "graduate, graduate, graduate...." Lucky D.S. looks a little old to be an undergrad, but time will tell.
