A "Fish" Story

Me, my dad and his friend with a house on the lake were in a 14 ft aluminum boat. We would pull up into a cove and the guy that lived there would cast for bass while dad and me dropped lines over the side for catfish. Hooked what I thought was at least a 25 pound cat. Turns out it was a snapping turtle. The guy that lived there insisted on bringing into the boat, said he was going to make turtle soup. I remember the thing being at least 2 ft across. It got loose and commenced to hissing, snapping and chasing us around this suddenly tiny boat. Dad had a .22 in his tackle box for snakes and the other guy pulls out this big old bowie knife. Both of 'em missed the hell out of the turtle from less than 3 ft, sometimes closer. Screaming and hollering like little girls we were. I can't remember how, but I guess we finally managed to get far enough out it's way so it could climb back over the side and into to water. Turtle-1, Tool Wielding Humans-0.

True story. I was 14 years old back in 1974. I'll soon turn 51 and have yet to taste turtle soup. I learned 2 things:

1. Never shoot a firearm into the bottom of a boat.

2. I guess sometimes the turtle eats you (well almost).

Saw Cooter in the thread title and couldn't resist.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      An odd little vibe I've noticed here of late: some folks are "all or nothing" to an absolutely extreme level when it comes to Bryce. Here's a bit of truth telling though: There are, in fact, things Bryce does well. Likewise, there are areas in which he's improved over his time here. He has, on several occasions now, legitimately helped us win games. On the flipside, there have been failures in other areas as well as coaching that we're not in any way his fault.  And finally , it is also genuinely possible that the team may see him as the future, even if we don't. The craziest part, though? It's actually possible that they're right and we're wrong. All of this is true, and more, yet if you accept any of these premises people go from zero to apesh-t in under three seconds 😳 Anything less than total disavowal of Bryce and / or agreement that he's the worst QB of all time and suddenly you're a "stan". Oy 🙄 The reality though?  Bryce is indeed an NFL quarterback. Not a great one, probably backup level good, and I've seen way worse. Now, if you run that statement through your personal Google translator and it comes back with some version of "I want to throw 50 million a year at Bryce for the next 10 years", that's not really my issue it's yours  I don't wanna make him the franchise quarterback, but it's not my call. Win or lose, the team is going to do what they think is best. And as always, if it disagrees with what I think we should do, I'm gonna hope I'm the one who's wrong. Internet clout means nothing. Watching my favorite team win at my favorite sport meas fun 😁
