A fisherman returned to shore with a giant Marlin that was larger & heavier than he was. On the way to the cleaning shed he ran into a buddy who had maybe a dozen or so Rockfish.

The buddy eyed the Marlin & said, "Only caught the one, huh ?"

My one neighbor Van is a true sport fisherman. He said once he caught a Great White Shark. Never having seen it on display in his home, I asked what happened to it.

He sighed and replied, "Well, it was too small to keep, so me and three other guys threw it back in."

George was describing a 30 pound Bass he'd caught recently after fighting it for three hours.

Bill interrupted the story saying, "I saw the picture you took of that fish. You're lucky if it even weighed 10 pounds."

George replied, "Well... a fish can lose an awful lot of weight during three hours of fighting."

With the advent of Spring in the US, a lot of avid fishermen are already out there trying their luck. My sister-in-law's husband is probably one of the most rabid around.

Returning from a day of fishing near the Chesapeake Bay Bridge I asked him if they were biting. He replied, "Were they ??? I had to lay down in the boat just to bait my hook !"

The Yuppette had never in her life been fishing, but wanted to show her rich beau she was a good sport. After about an hour or so aboard his yacht, she quietly said, "How much does that lil' red and white thingee cost ?"

"The float ?" he asked. "Probably less than a dollar, I guess. Why do you ask ?"

"Well, guess I owe you a dollar then." she replied. "Mine just sank."
