I was in my old stomping grounds in Athens this weekend, showing a girl I'm seeing my familys old house and the pond I used to fly fish in when I was young. I was about to give her a kiss when I saw a monster carp swimming near the bank. Holy $hit I said as I ran down to the water like I was 10 years old again. Look at that fish I said pointing "will you look at that!" That thing must have been 2 1/2 feet! Then as I looked were the carp was headed, I saw two more in the same size, losing all thoughts of romance, I began thinking is the rod in the jeep! Do I have a popper I can throw! Would ya know it, the rod was at the house as I wept next to the pond. Girl looking on, wondering what's wrong with this guy and why is looking for a long stick, some kind of thread, and a hook. J.
