One time I was fishing LeMoyne Bay at Lake McConaughy. My cousin, Uncle, Dad and I all were catching white bass (sandies) left and right. The limit was 25 fish and we were all getting close to limiting out. There was one guy fishing right in our midst, who, despite all odds, was unable to hook a fish. Our fish count mounted and mounted as he patiently made cast after cast without a fish.

Finally after about 2 hours of this he hooked up! As he reeled it in it went left, then right. We were so pleased that this good gentleman had finally made a score. After a short battle he reached down into the water and grabbed......

You guessed it..

A pair of sunglasses!

He calmly looked over his catch, shook off the water and put them on. "These will do just fine", he said.

Holding a redear sunfish is like running with scissors.
