We live in a lovely town called Mossel Bay in South Africa.
I come from a family where "fishy" stories were always at the order of the day and married into such a family too! Both my husband and son are keen bass fishermen and I must tell you this "little" story. They one day set off, all packed and ready to go and get the big one. I decided to just relax a bit and do my own thing for a change at home. Next thing that happens, the children are back. "Where's your Dad and why are you home so soon?" I asked. After all, they've just been away for about 45 minutes! "Dad caught the big one on arrival and is now in hospital." I was told by my son and his friend. In hospital? If in hospital, why were the boys killing themselves laughing?. The big one I was told, was quite a jumper and just could not hold still and hooked himself with the the three-point hook firmly onto my husband's fingers. Three hooks divided by two fingers overall! Well, it definately assured him his freedom, because our little bass friend was thrown back into the dam, with a little "aggression" I believe and my husband drove of to the hospital with one very "hooky-looking" hand, while my son changed the gears. Our own house doctor was on duty and they started to search for the "surgical side cutter", but could not find it. Next thing the doctor rocks up at our front door, husband in the passenger seat of the doctor's car. "I came to borrow your husband's side-cutter to perform a little operation" on his hand. (Did I detect a little smile?) After a while my husband returned home, safe and sound, with two fingers bandaged firmly. Needless to say that, whenever we visit our favourite doctor, the first question is usually: "How's the fishing going?" My husband is a bit of a perfectionist and some (fish) stories are'nt told for fear of life endangerment. The scene at the dam when he was trying to get fish and hook of hand, are one of them. The only thing I could get out of my son and his friend are knowing looks and big smiles, but apparently a new vocabulary of words was created!
