Emergency Trip To The James River 2- 4 -12

well the morning started off with me robby and cody going to a fishing flea market in dale city Virginia got there nice and early at 7am when it finally opened we went inside looking for anything that we could use for catfish whether that be crappie jigs to catch crappie and bream for live bait to catfish reels me and cody had found these 2 okuma reels SD 20's used but in decent shape for $10 each robby found a nice almost brand new looking abu garcia 65000 c3 for a good deal well we made our rounds only took about 20 - 30 minutes to see what we need to see and got out of there on the way home i called Hugh to see if he had his clients on any fish yet was still really in the morning mind you he told me they never showed ! i asked if he was on the river he said yea , then i asked who's fishing with him he said no one jokingly  i said we will be down in 2 hours then  Hugh replied come on  so it was a mad dash to the house to get some warm cloths a couple rods and south bound we went got down there at about 1130 am meet Hugh at the slip went for a decent little boat ride  we had several bites but no takers  finally robby ended up hooking up with  one that was running sideways on him ended up going 26.9 lbs nice fish but not the one we were looking for me ,Hugh & cody finally caught a fish each but they were dinks  less than 5 lbs and mine and Hugh's were at almost dark it was a cold rainy day on the river thank god we had the top up the whole time or we would have been soaked ! well getting ready to head back to the slip Hugh made me a bet of $20 i wouldn't ride back to the yacht basin in nothing but my boots and boxers robby said ill match that 20  so damn if i didn't do it it was about a 3 mile run and prolly 33 degrees outside running wide open ! and i was not allowed to sit down had to stand up and hold onto the handle on the console lets just say it was a realllllllly cold ride but it was fun Hugh looked at me and said i cant believe you did that and started to laugh his ass off i told him i had a screw or two loose  but was an awesome time to say the least
