Gone fishin!!
Jimmy loved to fish more than anyone I know! And is honestly think that man could catch a fish out of a toilet bowl! We went camping at Town Creek in Clay Co, Mississippi. We alway baited lines early in the morning and went back to check them and rebait them in the evening. It was late evening, almost dark. He was up in the bow of the boat pulling the line up, removing any we may have cought and baiting the vacant hooks. All of a sudden he sucked all the air out of the atmosphere, dropped the line and nearly plowed me over getting to the back of the boat. You would have thought he had pulled "Jaws" himself up out of that water! It was so funny. On that line was one of the largest cat fish I'd ever seen. It was dead of course. It's head was about the size of a basketball. Its mouth was wide open and all you could see was teeth. We teased him forever for being scared of a catfish....Lisa
