Hello, Bass Pro Shop
My mother-in-law, Lorrie sent out an email with the subject “Eat Your Heart Out” and all it had was a picture of this fish. Wow! I have yet to catch ANY fish on my fly rod. Now, she didn’t use a fly rod, but who cares?! Look at that fish! Needless to say, I am very impressed.
She called me yesterday to ask me a question, and I answered the phone, “Hello, Bass Pro Shop.” She liked that. And as it turns out, she is becoming quite the fisherman… er fisherwoman. Anyway, she is hooked! Sorry. No pun intended. No really though, she has been fishing with her dad, whom everyone calls Papa Joe, every chance she gets. I think that’s totally awesome. Not only is she taking up a new hobbie, but it gives father and daughter something to do to spend time together.
Can you imagine catching a fish this big? It is my goal to catch a fish like that one day on a fly rod. That would be incredible, and I think Captain Jeff would be proud. So, Papa Joe, I don’t know if you’ll ever read this. But if you do, your new grandson-in-law would LOVE to hit up the lake sometime!
