fish story

When I was 7 years old I caught a marlin off San Diego.  I wanted to catch a marlin soooo bad.  Once the fish took my bait and I was hooked up we realized the rod was too big.   My parents sawed off the butt section.  After about 15 minutes I was exhausted and wanted to quit.  My dad grabbed a scissors and said he would cut off the fucking fish if anyone touched the rod.  My mom held me by the scruff of my shorts and handed me an ice cold Olympia mini.  That was my first beer.  After 40 minutes the fish came to the boat and I landed it.  It was the best day ever.  I still love to fish but prefer the serenity of a stream or river.  Also, I release what I catch.
