Oh fishing
I love casting out a line
Listening to 8 strand braid whip off the free spinning spool
Feeling the tight wobble of my crankbait diving deeper and deeper
Bouncing off branches and rocking off rip rap
Waiting for a largemouth to attack my bait

Oh fishing
How many hundreds of hard worked dollars I’ve spent
Seeking to find a hungry 5lb largemouth
Is she up shallow
Or down deep
Time to go figure out a pattern

The root infested stump I casted next to
Decided he wanted to claim my lure as his own today
Sending out one of his roots to catch on a treble hook
There goes a $10 lure

Oh fishing
I love hearing the loud bubbling of a topwater buzzbait
The anticipation of a lunker gulping it off the surface
Only to face reality she missed it not once but twice
Her 3rd attempt she nails it
Now the tug of war begins

Oh fishing
I’ve sat under a led lamp for hours on end
Tying tedious knots to perfection
All for a memory 1 picture and bragging rights
Just to find out my buddy caught a 6lber
Resetting the cycle, wetting another line
In search of one bigger...
