Fumble II

I decided I wanted to step up my game a little and switch my bait from artificial lures to shiners.  Rather than buy shiners from a bait shop I decided to catch my own so I bought a $10 wire shiner trap.  I thought this would be an easy endeavor since as a child I literally pulled thousands out of the creek behind my parent's house.

So the next time I went fishing I brought my trap, put in a little bread, hooked up the chain and tossed it in the canal like I did hundreds of times as a kid.  Then I grabbed my pole and started fishing.  About 30 minutes later I heard the chain start to move only to look up and see a 4ft gator cruising down the canal with my trap!

Time for a new strategy!
