Joe's School (ex-Travel) Diary

This blog is a mish-mash of experiences that I have had since its inception. Orignally, it allowed me to stay in communication while overseas summer 2006 with family and friends. Now it survives as just a pulse of what happening with me and since I am back in school full time now, there isn't as much travel. Still, read, laugh, share, comment, suggest and give me the link to your blog so I can check it out. Thanks For Reading, Joe Dumesnil

Bass~Master 2007 Champ

Here we have an avid rookie to the sport who is an champ-to-be angler out of Bluffton, South Carolina. He hasn't even gotten to the point of investing in the brand new Triton bass boat with flames down the side, but he is yanking Bass and Blue Gill by the gross out of local lagoons in the Low Country of SC. "Why get a boat when you have your wife's Schwinn", he told us. He has been perfecting his technique after a couple of primarily social fishing trips to Lake George, FL where he learned how to tie knots. After a recent cast when he accidentally hooked "Croc Hunter" legend, Steve Irwin, while he was snorkeling for aligators, Irwin was quoted, "Crikey, look at the hip pack on this four eyed monster, he's ready for anything, gotta Foster's mate?" Our angler didn't have the brew, but asked about Bass spawning to which Irwin was not hesitant in demonstrating knee deep in water his version of the Bass reproductive cycle with a fish he caught bare handed "noodlin style". Our rookie reported, "I am bit disturbed and feel violated, I think I will go home and take a shower" Just then an aligator slid up on the bank and both Irwin and our angler ran like school girls.

Dad, congratulations on your success bass fishing, I want you to teach me your technique sometime. Glad I could create some proganda to kick off your new career, but don't go quitting your day job just yet though.
