Hope you're not tired of the Tales of Termite, because he wanted me to post this. Here's the tale:
Take a boy fishing for 8 hours. Feed him one small bag of chips, a granola bar, and a coke, and tell him he's having the fish he catches for supper when he gets home. He does this about 15 times . . . . .

And ends up with this:

He took this box shot himself after being inspired by you gentlemen to show proof, but it's hard to do justice.
All told, we ended the day with 30 beautiful fish, and a satisfying supper.

Hey Halfdoc - hate to burst your proud dad bubble, but it's the mom that takes Termite fishing!!!!! Wetlander is a she!!!!! Thanks for the invite, Red, but we'll most likely be fishing hard and heavy right here at home. I have out of town guests coming, too.

Termite says: Can't tell you where I caught them. It's a top secret! Only a few near birds. It was a lake somewhere around here.

Hey Choup - you're not going to get him tell you anything!!!! He's greedy like that. You should ask the GU where he's catching 200 trout in 45 minutes. That I'd like to see and that's where you should come fish!!!!!

It's OK, Half Doc. Easy mistake to make!!! Wetlander is sort of gender neutral!

Tracker - those are what we call Speckled Trout and that is just about the perfect size - 14 inches. They are our favorite fish to eat! Biggest we caught that day was 18 inches (sorry, I don't have a scale to weigh. Sounds like an item for the Christmas list, eh?!)

Darth, thanks for the proper introduction. I knew your momma raised your right!

Boy he must be a quick learner, finds a honey hole with a lot of fish and won't say a word to anyone on where it is. Good job little fella and keep up the good work. :thumbs_up
