I'm Fishing...

Illustration for article titled Im Fishing...

... At my cabin in DEEP East Texas. It has been raining all week, and today is the first day it hasn't been wet. The lake is up 2 feet in the past four days, the water is muddy, and it's too cold still for the fish to begin spawning. I was convinced that no one would catch a fish.

And then my seven year old girly girl cheerleader daughter went and caught a three pound bass. Not huge, but it's the first fish she's ever landed. I'm a mighty proud papa right now. I'm also ashamed that I, a self-proclaimed master fisherman, didn't catch anything.
