Two guys were fishing in a boat under a bridge.

One looks up and sees a funeral procession starting across the bridge.

He stood up, took off his cap, and bowed his head.

The procession crosses the bridge and the man put on his cap, picked up his rod and reel, and continued fishing.

The other guy said, “That was very touching. I didn’t know you had that in you.”

The first guy responded, “Well, it was the right thing to do – after all, I was married to her for 40 years.”
 
A man was stopped by a game warden in Ontario recently with a 5 gallon bucket full of fish leaving a lake well known for its fishing.
The game warden asked the man: "Can I see your fishing license?"
The man answered the game warden: "No, sir. I wasn't fishing, these are my pet fish."
"Pet fish?!" the warden replied.
"Yes, sir. Every night I take them down to the lake and let them swim around for a while. When I whistle and they come back, jump into the bucket, and I take them home."
"That's a bunch of malarky! Fish can't do that!"
The man looked at the game warden and said: "I can show you, it really true."
"O.K. I've GOT to see this!" the game warden replied.
The man poured the fish in to the water and stood and waited. After several minutes, the game warden turned to the man and said: "Well?"
"Well, what?" the man asked.
"When are you going to call them back?" the game warden prompted.
"Call who back?" the man asked.
"The FISH."
"What fish?" the man asked.
 
Two old guys were out fishing in a boat, when The guy in front is cussin about his false teeth hurting all the time. He keeps taking them out and putting them back in, and becoming madder by the minute. With a loud curse, he finally yanks them out and puts them on the middle seat behind him and goes on fishing.

The guy in back of the boat, with an evil looking grin on his face, sneakily takes his own false teeth out and puts them on the middle seat, taking the other old guys teeth and putting them in his shirt pocket!
After a while, the front guy turns around and gets "his" teeth. He tries unsuccessfully to plug them into his mouth. When he realizes he cant, he curses vehemently and heaves them as far away into the water as he can, saying, "The hell with it, they never did fit right from day one."

In complete shock, the second fisherman takes the other set of teeth from his pocket and hurled them as far as he could into the water and said, "I hear ya, Mine did'nt ever fit me either."
 
My X-Wife and I were fishing Big Creek above the Bogey access on Norfork. We had been catching small white bass all day. I think we had a string of 11 or 13 casts in a row with a caught fish. It was crazy. The only trouble was that we were catching the small males. All day we had been watching a couple Bald Eagles off in some trees. I noticed one of them start flying toward us and we both stopped fishing to watch this magnificent bird. It was only a speck in the sky. It was very very high in the sky and directly overhead. All of a sudden it tucked it's wings and nose dived. It was dropping like a rock and coming right at us. It hit the water about 15' from the boat. It was incredible. The water from it hitting so hard sprayed us in the boat. It was like a huge belly flop. Almost as quickly as it hit the water, it flapped those tremendous wings and rose directly overhead with the biggest White Bass of the day. It couldn't of been more than 20' overhead as it circled our boat 3 times and then flew off to what we think was a nest in those trees. I still believe today that the Bald Eagle came over to show us how to catch the big whites and then circled us to show off its catch. I've never seen anything in the wild to top it. It was early 90's. We didn't have iPhones then. I sure wish I had that one on tape. It was an incredible display.
That had to be a very rare thing, as Bald Eagles very seldom hit the water with anything but their talons. Osprey look very much like B.Eagles to the untrained eye, and they hit the water when they catch fish, and are often confused for B.Eagles. Either way, that had to be quite a rare treat to watch.:clap::clap::clap::up:
 
My eye is untrained (I don't even know what an osprey is but I'm going to google it) but we have Bald Eagles in Elizabeth on those bluffs. We watch them all the time. The colony has grown to at least 6 adults the last time I knew.

It did hit with talons first but it hit that water very hard. It was amazing. It all happened so fast. The bird was only on the water for a second.


Edit. Just googled. I'm going to be very disappointed if our colony of Bald Eagles are Osprey.
Those two statements are in favor of the bald eagle, but a wet bald eagle is one that has a very hard time getting back into the air. I'm not saying you are wrong, I hope you don't think I'm being horsey, just pointing out what Jane Gully taught me years ago when I reported the very same sighting, with a large mouth bass being the unlucky eagle meal!:biggrin:
 
No. I don't think so. I just thought bald Eagle all these years. I'm pretty sure those birds still nest down there. I'll me fishing there pretty soon.
I'm not real sure, but I don't think the Osprey[fish eagle] nests in Arkansas....but they migrate through Arkansas regularly stopping to eat fish, just like we would stop at a restaurant on a long trip. Most likely because B.Eagles will steal and eat Osprey chicks.:thumb:
 
Sort of a fishing story. I was about 10years old me and my dad and some friends were running yo yo's on Kelly lake . Two guys were camped by us they got super drunk and one of them keep talking about how hungry he was so the other guy told him to get a fish they caught out the ice chest and cook , well guy gets fish and puts it in skillet , and other starts hollering at him telling him he has to have oil to cook the fish! So guy grabs some motor oil and puts in skillet cooks the fish and then eats it ! Not long after I can remember the guy puking his guts up prob a combination of the fish and alcohol, well shortly after the guys crank up and leave , and barley make it down the road and run out of gas , so they ask if we have any gas all we had was two stroke they used it anyway and then put Coleman fuel out there lantern in there also . I remember hearing the truck back firing as it was going down the road . This is a true story !!!
ROFLMAO That's the description of some true rednecks!
