Hey Reel Truth. Don't chase rough fish like Muskies. I don't think "rump biscuits" hurt the steelies attitude for feeding at all. If so, we wouldn't catch a fish around here. Here is a "biscuit story" that will make you giggle.

About ten years ago, I was sitting in a fence line in a chisel plowed cornfield in Northern Iowa hunting deer. I had the late muzzle loader season, and the deer were moving due to the -20 weather. All of a sudden, this impending feeling of "bowel doom" struck me. It was now or never. Knowing full well that "logging activities" near my hunting area, would horse up the hunting, I flinched up the cheeks and made tracks to a distant fenceline that was further away form where I had parked on a gravel road. In the howling sub arctic conditions, I took off my coat, and lowered my insulated bib overalls, grabbed the barb wire fence, and cut loose with the mother load. Instant gratification was mine. Much to my dismay, I had over shoot the runway, and was heartbroken to find it all in side my bibs. Here I stand in Antartica, with my insulated bibs full of "business".

Being the type to avoid such contact, I had no choice but to clean up the construction site, and head for the truck. One problem, no paper. My hunting knife made quick business of my shirt sleeve, and this problem was alleviated. Now the long march lay ahead of me. I sure as hell wasn't going to pull up my bibs, so the cold didn't seem to be such a threat. Does anyone have any idea how long it takes to walk a half mile in 6 inch snow with "fully loaded" bib overalls around your ankles in -20 weather? I do. About 35 minutes.

My problem continued as I got to the truck. My legs, and everything form my navel down, was a brilliant shade of purple. I had a hell of a time getting in the truck without trashing the upholstery. I arched my back, and propped my feet, and drove about 4 miles to get home. Upon getting home, I threw the coveralls in the garbage, and soaked in a warm tub for over an hour. I shook for the rest of the day, and my lower body seemed to itch for a week.

Moral of the story: Check the runway before your final approach. Fish On. LOL
