Linda's Sturgeon Fishing Trip With Cap'n Reed


The great adventure began early, (o'dark thirty) it was rainy and cold... the Nobel ship was prepared and provisions were laid up. The Captain looked at the harsh sky and scowled...But the happy fisher woman beamed with joy and assured everyone that the sky would clear and it would be a wonderful day. Many boats filled the bay, competition was stiff. Suddenly, the fish was on and the fight ensued.. suddenly the first flash of the fish in the water...and a second flash reveled its size. Suddenly it was in the net...then, in keeping with an old sea tradition, the Captain stabbed himself with the hook to ensure further success.. They continued to fish but could not understand why their fate had changed? And then he pulled from his chest a ... BANANA! and the dreaded banana curse fell upon the boat and no further fish were caught We end our tale with the fish weighed ,the captain happy ,and a nice trophy catch...Tillamook bay, Monday June 7th 2010, weight 23 pounds and 30 inches in length . . .and a good time was had by all... Captain Banana
