Quere ‘eye for a cat guy….

Tuesday night I was lucky enough to be invited to tag along with Catten Addict and the Infamous Bowfinhunter for a little catten on the ol’ ‘sippi.

If you’ve ever read the post by bowfin and CA when they get going …well…if you’ve seen them…you know what I mean…

In person they are both completely opposite of their on-line personalities…in a couple ways…

They are both the most loving, warm..fuzzy, caring and respectful couple….of guys I know

I thought it was very quere that bowfinhunter actually fishes ‘eye’s most of the time. This is why you don’t see many pictures of him on the board…

I did get two good snapshots…one of his face (first picture).

It was a tough night fishing. Bowfin was the only one to place a fish in the boat…but with the antics going on…there was never a dull moment.

I would love to report more…but “What’s said in the River Pro, Stays in the River Pro”.

It was a pleasure to meet and fish with you Mr. Bowfinhunter! We’ll do it again! Thanks CA!

Isn’t this the guy from the old “Tim the Tool Man” show?

That’s him…minus the fence!

All right alright,
this is the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help me catfish Gods.

It is true C/A and I were going to go fishing and I was late getting to C/A’s house. As we were in C/A’s truck and headin to the fishing hole, C/A notices a pimped out VW restored 69 bug (tie dyed pink and mauve) following us as we pulled onto Hwy 61 off of 94. C/A says to me I think thats Mealy worms ride. I look back and sure enuff a old timer is waving franticly at me. He followed us down to the launch area and as we pulled ahead to launch the boat ol’Mealy pulled his “Bug” behind us to stop us from launching.
I said “mealy get out of the way grownups are tring to fish over here”. He then threw hisself on the ground and started to beg us to take him with us, C/A and I both shook our heads in the Negative but o’Mealy making a scene started to cry, I am like dude calm down but he was blubberin and cryin and screamin “O please O please” He was making such a fuss and cryin so hard that C/A started to break, mealy sense’in that C/A was breakin said I brought all my Stuff and everthing, sure enuff we looked in the o’VW and it was packed full of jusk not related to fishing Villige people posters Donny Osman Albums and cases and cases of harlaquinn romance novels, but sure enuff he did have a broken down 4 weight fly rod with a shhomo 100 open face reel with 4lb test line. C/A being more compassionet then I finally relented and said he can come. Mealy hearing these words squeeled like a squirel with a bag of “nuts”. “Oh Yea”
said mealy I said but you can only bring the fly rod. He said “O anything to come with”. I looked ac C/A and said “O Boy” and shook my head sadly.
Episode II comming soon
See ya for now

Episode II The Boat ride

Well before mealy would move the VW he made us both “pinky swear” not to leave with out him. (which both C/A and I decided to do but C/A’s word is his word so we stayed put)
C/a and I loaded the River Pro and waited, and waited, and waited……… Finally mealy showed up I did not know a little guy could carry so much junk. He was wearing a torn back-pac that he claimed he used when he followed Tony Dean across the Dakotas selling tie dyed tee shirts out of the back of the vary VW Bug he still drives to the day.
He had on his left foot a old semi black jump boot from the french army and a flip-flop on the other. He wore jean shorts with wear holes in all the WRONG places.
And he wore a old Tye Dyed wife beater tee shirt with The famous Tony D’s autograph still readable. (we found out this was his lucky fishing tee-shirt, we of course did not ask, but during his rambling conversation with himself we made that much out) But in his hands he carried a full size guitar and his “sing along to the hits of Barry Manalow” book he also had a life size cut out card board copy of Liberachi, a Zorro mask, a foot long hot dog, 2 bottles of Zima, a Cheech Martin paper “weight”, a extra large bottle of Sun tan lotion, a half compleated scrap book of the best of Barbera Stricend pictures, VHS copys of “Yentel” and “Torch song Trilige”, a large leather bound copy of “Kama Sutura”, a plaster bust of Mick Jagger, a oversized hat that read “Brad Pitt fan club president”,
and his now famous poster (usually hanging over his bed) of the The Back Street Boys.
I looked at C/A and we both rolled our eyes and after much kicking and screaming, begging and pleading we were off.
Now I fish because it nice to commune with nature, but the incessent chatter form Mealys side of the boat was pitiful from a grown man. He wanted to talk about things like.
Who we thought was the prettist back street boy and weather we thought Barry Manilow was going to make another album. O the talking went on and on and on.
Mealy is up on all the holly wood gosip thro did any one else know that that dude from “Fight club” married and divorced from that good looking girl on the show on channel 11 on thursdays? And now hes dating that really good looking chic from that “Tomb raider” show. Mealy seemed rather sad as he told us that little bit of gosip and I hope that its because he thought that girl from “tomb Raider” was cute to. (but I doubt it)
Well we finally got to the first spot and Mealy forgot his 4 weight fly rod, as he starts crying all over again I cast my 1st 6.72 inch bullhead into the murky water below, finally C/A gives Mealy one of his rod’s to fish with. Mealy can’t figure out which end to cast with or how to hold it (we told him time and time again to put it in the rod holder) or how to reel it in.
When he found out it had a clicker on it was the only time he shut up the whole night, instead he would pull out a little string and squeel like a little girl that just saw a mouse “WEEEEE” he’d say it the top of his voice. As the clicker clicked out. I looked over at C/A and he was wrestlin with the Liberachi poster to move it out of the way so he could cast his 6.248 inch Bullhead into the water.
Episode III the 1st Flat of the night comming soon.
See ya
