Enrico’s Splinter Removal Good Results - From the Back of the Line!
However, as it turned out it didn’t matter. After we had moved our fishing positions 2 or 3 times in this manner, with no one having so much as a single strike, I started to catch fish and no one else did. Don’t ask me why some fishermen just get hot and are able to pull fish out of the same spots where other fishermen just left without catching any. It certainly wasn’t that I had any greater skill than the others, quite the contrary. To everyone’s great amusement I had managed to create a king sized bird’s-nest on my very first cast in this latest location. The line was so tangled that I needed Enrico’s help to untangle it. Needless to say, it was embarrassing, especially in front of Carmen and her nationally famous fisherman husband, Don.
On the very first cast after being untangled, I got a strike. For sure, it wasn’t a bass because the line was running around in tight circles and, after a short while, the fish quit fighting and I effortlessly pulled it in. It turned out to be the biggest piranha that I had ever seen or, even known existed! It was big and silver, about the size of a good sized serving platter. In a few more casts I had a nice 5½ lb. Peacock, a few more and I tied into a really good one: a magnificent 12 lb. Peacock that I managed to bring in after a very spirited battle. It was my second Peacock of that size of the trip!
