That Certain Something
by Rob Choi
I just couldn't stay away. It was going to be a fuster cluck and everyone in Rudee knew it. With success stories inundating all the social media avenues and forums, the inlet was going to be googan central. Yet still, I couldn't resist the promise of that certain something I've been craving.
Rods whipping to the left of me
Delightful spinning reel squeals to the right
Delightful spinning reel squeals to the right
Infectious grins all around
Long bombing the quarter ounce
procure smeared gudgeon imposter
on my seven two medium
fast ction
With a slow bounce
Imitate.
Instigate.
The predator's pounce sends an electric pulse
firing off the ten pound test braided neuron
When it reaches the high modulus extension of my nervous system
Ping.
Clean.
Unmistakable.
Short turn of the reel couples with an urgent swing
Moment of truth
Heavy weight
Provocative back arched and tip throbbing
Head shakes on the other end
Map the brains of us all at that moment
Googan or not
It's a beautiful thing.
Add stubborn fights with peeling line
and that is why we love it.
