This had me laughing at myself all last week.
I went to Ocracoke Island, NC last week for vacation and fly fished in the salt for the first time. When I got to the spot that I had chosen for the morning there was a very serious fisherman there. He had the fishing truck from hell. Livewell, and fish table attached to the front bumper with an umberlla. He was very nice and helped me out with selecting the proper color and gave my nephew some live bait.
Anyway about 20 min goes by and I have something on the end of my line. I am all excited and when I land the fish I start yelling to my nephew to come over. The fish is about 18in long. Here is the exchange that followed.
ME: Damn, it looks just like a trout.
Fisherman: It is a trout.
Me: No really, it looks just like a trout.
Fisherman, looking at me like I am insane: IT IS A TROUT!
Nephew: Uncle Matt it looks just like a trout.
Fisherman: IT IS A TROUT!
ME: No you don't understand it looks just like a trout.
Fisherman looks at us both and shakes his head. He then walked very far away from the both of us.
Who would have thought a sea trout would look like a trout. :-D
