Walleye Express Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) Well, with only 10 days left until that most holy of holy events, it's time once again for me to wheel out My old fishing poem that copies "The night before Christmas" beat with a fishing twist added. It's been the hardest Christmas season for me personally to get into the mood this year, with this commercial law suit thing going on concerning the Saginaw Bay. Along with a President pushing us into what looks to be (IMV) a government run country headed for bankruptcy and a debt so heavy even our personal protection may be in question, that happy, holiday mood hasn't really hit home yet. But in this poem a man spares the life of a fish, in a gesture that truly mirrors why Jesus was born and died on the cross. He gave us another chance at life. Merry Christmas to all of you.“Twas the night before Christmas and across Saginaw Bay”“The shantys were lit up with ice fishermen wanting to stay”“I had just sat out a Tip-Up, that I positioned within view”“But concentrated more on my jigging, as Tip-Up's take few”“My Do-Jiggers flutter settled and awaited it's fate”“As a thick band of red appeared near it, on the OL’FL8”“My pulse suddenly quickened, and my rod hand began to shake”“I sat almost motionless, while awaiting the take”“With the first twitch of the rod tip, and a snap of the wrist”“I drove home the sharp trebles, in the lips of the fish”“Her struggle was valiant, with violent bends in the pole”“But with slow steady pressure, I worked her up into the hole”“Her girth was impressive, Her length 30 inches or so”“My buddy looked kinda puzzled, when I said...... "I think I’m letting her go”“Some things need explaining, while others fall into place”“I had to say something, from the look on his face”“Think of this buddy, before we call it a night”“Tomorrows Gods birthday, and He's blessed everything with life”“I’ve caught plenty of walleyes, and taken home my share”“I’m giving this one back to him, it would only be fair”“So down into the hole, and under the ice”“Now swim away, swim away, and give someone else a good fight”Capt: Dan.
