Big Brother II

I was quite surprised at the relentlessness and vigor of the fight that this beast is ensuing. I can see the fish break the surface of the water twisting and arching its massive body toward me. The rivers lifeblood scatters. I become drenched as the cool water consumes my parched skin. Slightly shocked and wider awake than I was I perry's to meet this fish's exuberant lunge. The fish now realizes the task for which he is up against. A formidable foe, at last a challenge will befit this evening. The fish splashes down and within a split second reverses his course and begins to take off upstream taking line. My reel begins to sing that familiar tune known to those avid fisherman as the sweet notes of battle, a calling to arms if you will. I NOW understand what will take place this night as I mentally prepare myself.
