When we were on our trip to Brazos Bend State Park, we did a little fishing. We were next to a pond one evening. I got out the flyrod and landed a bluegill right off. Jeff tried his hand and it wasn’t long before he hooked a red-eared slider. He landed a turtle! We were fishing catch-and-release, barbless. The turtle was let-go unharmed.
Today, Judy topped us both. On a ferry crossing in the Jeep, she caught a fish. With her windshield! Plop. It landed on her windshield, followed shortly thereafter by the hungry gull that dropped it in the first place. So it was sort of like catch-and-release. We didn’t keep the fish, although it probably didn’t survive the ordeal. A startled Judy was left with a fish-print on the windshield.
