Fish Tale

I thought Keith might enjoy reading the funny story of a sushi-eater from San Francisco going bass fishing in a Georgia "borrow pit."

I had traveled across the country for the promise of finding the ultimate fishing spot, and while there to discover just what the sport of fishing is all about. My concept of fishing has always been of a couple of drunken rednecks sitting in a canoe with a hook in the water, pulling up trout while finishing a case of Pabst Blue Ribbon. In my mind, the activity required about as much art as throwing rocks at pigeons.

But I recognized I had a lot to learn. About as close as I normally get to live fish is the sushi I order in San Francisco. On his visit to the city, David couldn't stop laughing. "Y'all are eatin' bait, you know that, right?"

I am expecting to catch some sushi at Deep Creek Lake.
