There's this old guy who fishes the Mississippi at the same spot as me. In janurary when the ice sheets float down he ties a lil baby chicken to a line with the hook dangling from its neck. He swears that the noise they make as they skitter across the ice guarantees a huge fish by the end of the day. I've never seen it, but he claims to have snagged quite a few massive fish that way. They skitter across the ice, dump into the water and boom. Fish on.

The fish would stay out of trouble if it could just keep its fool mouth shut.
Turns out there is a lot I should be learning from the fish.
