Sunshine wanted to go fishing. .Monkey Man was clueless when it came to fishing so Sunshine told him to meet her a Kmart. .neither of them did Walmart. .unfair treatment of primates and bad insurance ya know..just as he was stashing the mini behind the dumpster he feels the warm glow surrounding him..mmmmm..Sunshines here..he turns and they share smiles and hugs..Lets go shopping..
Monkey Man heads straight for sporting goods with Sunshine in tow. .as he is browsing the rods and reels not having a clue what he's looking at the sales person walks up. .he shows him all the latest and greatest. .Monkey Mans getting excited. .not like that..as he turns to Sunshine and she has a little Zebco 202 in her hands and tells MM this is just like mine and it works so good..Monkey Man buys her pitch..they grad some hooks and bobbers and some weights. .Monkey Man wants lures they look so cool..Sunshine says we will just use worms so they go to the worm box. She opens one and its got little skinny worms..she pulls one out and Monkey Man sees it wiggling. .fighting for its life and goes back to look at lures. .as Sunshine digs through the cartons. .she calls him over and opens the little white box..reaches in and grabs a night Crawler..she pulls it out to show Monkey Man and he freaks..its as big as an Amazon anaconda. .its wrapping around her finger..he faints right there in Kmart..
After being brought back to life by Sunshine. .No there was no mouth to mouth a bottle of water and a good hard slap to the face..she's so practical at times..they are off to lunker lake..home of the big ones. .damn stay with the story..its a nice ride on the mini and they roll up and find an open table..Sunshine starts setting up his pole..geez..fishing pole teaching him how to tie the proper knots. .she walks him to the waters edge and shows him how to cast..he tries and after the fourth big birds nest in the reel gets the hang of it..time to bait up. .Monkey Man open the container. .see those monster wiggling and slams it shut..Sunshine I don't need bait..I will be fine she baits his hook..they walk to the waters edge and cast out..sit back in the shade and watch there bobbers..Having the normal DP's the ones the bear didn't drink.
Nice big blue gill grabs Sunshines hook..its a battle but she gets him up on the bank. .She reaches down like an old pro and grabs him by the lip..pops the hook and slides the stringer through his gill. .first one of the day..Now while Monkey Man was watching his bobber was a bobbin just as he turned around his pole was heading towards the lake..he dove after it..beautiful catch in three feet of water..hanging on to the pole he realized there's no bottom..Monkeys aren't the best swimmers. .but pretty good sinkers..he goes down..pole in hand and fish fighting. .seeing this caused Sunshine mind to go into high gear..must be a big fish to take the pole..poor Monkey Mans blowing bubbles. .she dives in..grabs the pole in one hand and a monkey ear in the other..drags them both to saftey..taking extra care..not to lose the fish..
Monkey Man semi safe on the bank..she can hear him spitting water and sucking air the fight begins..she reels a little and the monster takes some line..30 minutes it goes on..Monkey Man makes it to the bench..face a mask of wonder. .for the sake of a family story we will not dig into what the four cells were wondering. .as Sunshine finally wins the battle..almost. .the biggest bass she had ever seen..on the bank she reaches down and grabs its lip..pulls the hook just as Monkey Man steps forward for a better look..slipping in the mud Sunshine. .Monkey Man and the giants bass all tumble back in the lake..happy fish..mad Sunshine. ..and a still wondering Monkey. .
They look at each other..wet and muddy..Lilly pads hanging in odd places...the start to laugh..they share a big wet hug..and a joyful afternoon of Sunshine baiting hooks and pulling fish..the wonders of youth..joys of sharing a little pure true love..hugs..
