Catch and Release
I called for the net
To capture my lunker bass
She was the biggest yet
And I had made her mad
She threw my spinner out
And I cursed aloud at it
I was angered all about
And took some time there to sit
My son caught a fish
A healthy 6 lb. bass
She was not as big as mine
But was a pretty lass
He put his prize in the livewell
And happily smiled at me
It was then that I knew
His fish must be released
We took a moment then
To release her to her nest
My son smiled a grin
And I knew that we’d done best
