Went down to El Dorado for some mothers day fishing. I got there as soon as the park opened and my buddy and I were the only ones there for the first half of the day. The wind was chilly but the water was surprisingly warm. So far I have been doing good at El Do but that was not the case this time.
The only thing I was able to hook was myself
I was standing with my rod leaning on my shoulder. There was about two feet of line hanging out with a wacky rig worm at about face level. I was looking at a popper that I was holding, thinking if I should tie it on or not. I lean back a bit and the worm sways into my face and kind of fluttered.
I panicked thinking I was being attacked by some kind of devil bug and react, trying to scare it away. As I reacted, i drove the hook into my skin right under my nail. Then I turn around and the devil bug turned into my worm
I didnt know whether to laugh or get mad at myself for having a brain fart.
All in all it was a good peaceful day.
