Now I'm not as long winded or descriptive as Mrs. Jagermeister who added the previous post, but I will do my best. You see this story is actually true. Hillbilly, Pops and I were in my drift boat steal-head fishing. We were running hotshots off the bow and I was back rowing. Hillbilly hooks into a big fish. I knew it was big because he was hooten and holleren so much I began to feel like "Ned Batey" in "Deliverance."
He is fighting drag and playing the fish. I back row and side row then do it all again. I get us to some slower water, Hillbilly is pumping that rod up and down, the drag is spinning and the boat is rocking. This goes on for about five minutes then "SNAP" it's all over, we thought. Pops and I start telling him what he did wrong. He was complaining about his brand new gold hotshot when all of a sudden; This salmon jumps straight up out of the water and shakes his head. That gold hotshot was still in his mouth. He shook it twice to show the Hillbilly that he was boss then disappeared forever. That is when the most amazing thing of all happened, Hillbilly was speechless. I didn't think that was possible.
