We didn't buy these, but they cracked me up. The Mean Worm. Made by Hand?
Ruthie and Mac were so looking forward to fishing with PawPaw. It had been planned long before we came this time, and so it happened that we found ourselves in the "Biggest Little Bait Shop in Alabama" buying crickets and minnows and then down by the big pond in PawPaw's neighborhood casting lines. It was hot and we dodged a minefield of goosepoop, but we all managed to hook a fish- I even caught two! They were little Brim, and too small to keep, but it was so exciting to see the bobber go down and then yank and reel one in. Jay and PawPaw, being the resident experts, were so patient and good with Ruthie and Mac, showing them how to put a cricket on the hook so the cricket butt is facing out (that apparently, is what the fishies like the best), how to hold the rod and how to wind the reel when you get a bite. We will definitely go fishing with PawPaw again- and I want to catch me something I can eat next time. (Catfish? Oh yeah. What do you think PawPaw?)
