Have something for the weekend to make you grin. Admittedly, I found this making the rounds on the internet; suppose some of you might have already seen it. If not, I am stealing it and sharing it here:

That reminded me of this meme:

I can tell the guy in the video knew what he was doing! Yes, he knew how to snag his fish out of the gutter. He also knew a great bait with which to do it! (Obviously was a pretty good bait for catching the fish in the first place too!)

Scary part is “big brother” was watching him the whole time! Wonder if he got a ticket for illegally snagging a fish?

Have a great weekend. Hope you don’t drop a walleye in the gutter!
