There are really only two basic kinds of fisherman:

Sport fishermen and those who catch fish.

Any fisherman will tell ya fishing is a matter of timing.

Basically, you had to get there yesterday to catch anything.

Don't think fishing isn't a dangerous sport either.

I once dislocated both shoulders describing a Thrasher Shark I caught.

We all know about Texans in the US and their tall tales.

Well, my displaced Texas friend, Bruno, was telling me about a lake in Texas where it was so crowded with fish, that the fish all have to swim standing on their tails.

Bruno never lets up either. I showed him a picture of a fish I had once caught that was rather impressive.

He said, "I got me one of them too -- a full 11 inches."

I replied, "Bruno ! You can clearly see this fish is a lot bigger than any 11 inches."

He smiled and slowly said, "Jim, in Texas we measure all the fish between their eyes -- saves carrying around a big tape."

I'll say this about him though. Bruno has the patience of a saint. We were once sitting in a boat about 3 hours, and no bites at all.

I shuffled my feet and my position to get more comfortable after staying still for so long.

He glanced over and said, "You come here to fish or dance ?"
