Perch Attack

Among my weekend fishing trip at Lake Tenkiller, a few comical occurrences irrupted, one of which involved my Rock Star boyfriend.  I don't call myself a professional fisherwomen, but RS is an All-Star Pro-Fessional Fisherman.  He is one with the water and the fish, he is so patient and can fish me under the table.  Sunday was a very hot august day 106 degrees in the shade to be exact, we had fished all afternoon, no luck, no bites, no success.  I turn away and hear a cannon ball sized splash in the water, RS had jumped right in the lake!  Weather he had given up on the fish, or almost had a heat stroke, he was in the water swimming around enjoying himself despite the heat.  While enjoying his swim, the perch started to attack him from behind like ants on a picnic.  They probably thought they had landed the mother ship of a minnow, RS started to yell at the perch then proceeded to noodle and catch them with his bare hands.  This eventually lead him to start fishing in the water with his rod, where oddly enough the bass started biting at his lure and two casts in he hooked a small mouth bass.  The fish were now biting at everything, RS was a very happy camper,  and I just sat there and watched the whole scene......
