Fish Stories

“Fiction was invented the day Jonah arrived home and told his wife that he was three days late because he had been swallowed by a whale.” – Gabriel García Márquez

I’m gonna tell you what, I’m waiting for a good fish story. I haven’t heard a fish story since high school. Where are all the fishermen that come back with those robust stories? We may ask, but at the end of the day, none of us really care if they’re true. We (as in me) want to just sit around and listen, maybe over some beers and a fresh batch of fries. Let me know if you know anyone willing to share!!

Do you have any fish stories? You don’t have to be a fisherman to comment.

Jayne is a writer. On her free time she likes to be with her family hiking outdoors and traveling. New England is her home and place of birth. When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.

  1. I’m too old to remember how big the rainbow, brook trout and pike I caught were, assuming they were legal. I threw most of them back. But I do recall my cousin telling me how he caught a salmon with his bare hands once. I believe him, because like his father, my uncle never got lost in woods or streams. For them, wilderness was just their backyard.
