Tinker
When I leave the house in April, after getting over the lost to Alabama that the referee robbed us for, making sure that Bama could win. For some reason SEC referee favor Alabama down South. I can go fishing for the allusive Lead pencil instead of crying in my beer. You know the Catfish that went up North to get away from me down here. I'm going on up North to spend some time with my oldest Son who now live in Wisconsin.
Lead pencil is the Catfish that no one was ever able to catch down here in the South. I came close once when I was fishing in a small stream on the Mississippi Gulf coast, when I first saw Lead pencil. Wow! He looked more like a Shark than a Catfish.
He swam right on by my feet that were hanging off the side of my Pirogue. I just about died because I knew right away all about who that fish was. Lead pencil had a repetition of never getting caught from a very long time ago. No one were ever able to catch him, a lot of close calls but no cigar.
We all realized that since everyone down South was trying to capture, or kill, Lead pencil - that smart fish simply swam away, going up North. Where no one knew about him. He could live the easy life without someone shooting him, or spearing him, or catching him in a net.
Wisconsin was long since thought to be the place were that really brilliant Catfish is now swimming around, unknown and out of the sight of the people living there.
So come spring after the ice melts we are going fishing and I will be ready to catch him at last. You can't miss him he is a light Gray, about 4 to 5 feet long, and fat around, Lead pencil has a giveaway facial features, He has a lot more cat whiskers then the other cat fish.
I'll send you a picture of where I last saw him down here in Mississippi that day. And another picture of his cousin Girlfriend, Slue foot Sue - who got herself caught in Louisiana right next door to Mississippi, late one night hanging around with Lead pencil. Forget about Alabama because we were cheated and as usual in a fair fight we are still tougher than them, the spoiled brats. I hope that LSU Head coach Les Miles demands a investigation. And I am still very proud of our guys the LSU Fighting Tigers, who I would rather lose with us, than win with them cheaters.
