Cracking the Egg

Easter Sunday. Finally the egg cracked! That dirty son of a gun Lake Hodges finally let up! The bass were chasing shad, and the carp were waving their tails in the air as if to say hello. Life finally returned to a place that has been relatively lifeless. And we were there. I knew we would be! That’s what happens when you’re too stupid to quit. Eventually you will be rewarded. You just have to take your licks along the way. After all, that’s what the journey is all about. Trying to figure it out.  ~ Capt John
