But to step from a pitching deck onto what looks like solid shore, only to
discover it's really just a mat of weeds floating over nine inches of
water,
to shake the algae from your right leg and then to crawl through poison
ivy,
stick-tights, and brambles to reach the base of the tree, shred your palms
as you shinny up the coarse trunk, creep out on a three-inch diameter
branch
eighteen feet over the water (it looked a lot thicker from below), pausing
every time you hear a c-r-e-e-e-a-k or popping, cracking sound (noticing
that the branch is now seventeen feet over the water.... now sixteen...
now
fifteen.... GET A MOVE ON!), tendons popping and muscles protesting as you
stretch your torso and arm to somehow grow an extra inch or two on the end
of your arm, relaxing your grip on another branch to gain a last few
precious inches, shake and then regain your balance as you are startled by
your partner's camera flash from below, stabbing a hook in your finger as
you attempt to untie with only two fingers the Gordian knot your lure
managed to tie with unbreakable seventeen pound test line around an
equally
tenacious wad of leaves right at the limits of your reach, sweat dripping
into your eyes but having no free hand to wipe your forehead and being too
unsure of your balance to even shake your head, finally retrieving your
bait
and edging back toward the trunk and thence back to terra firma, losing
your
grip and jumping the last three feet to the earth, landing on one foot and
wrenching your ankle on the side of a rock that gives way and tumbles
toward
your waiting boat as a hot lance of pain pierces your leg and a red
curtain
sweeps across your vision and you fight to remain conscious and in
possession of the Vienna Sausages, crackers, and Mountain Dew you ate for
lunch, then slipping down the bank while grabbing a handful of poison ivy
to
slow your descent, stopping only when your left shoe has filled with
lakewater, scraping your shin as you jump for the boat that is retreating
from your attack, and finally tossing your prize lure onto the deck and
glaring at your howling partner in triumph. Now THAT's fishing!

Wow! That's one long sentence.
