a man was fishing - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

He began his outing with a 26lb yellowtail on the first trolling pass and a 48 lb White Sea Bass on the second. On the third drop he had just scored his first ever Halibut over 40 lbs when his cell phone rang. It was a doctor notifying him that his wife had just been in a terrible accident and was in critical condition in ICU. The man told the doctor to inform his wife where he was and that he'd be there as soon as possible.

As he hung up he realized he was leaving what was shaping up to be his best ever kayak fishing trip. He decided to get in a couple of more passes before heading to the hospital.
He ended up catching several personal bests, limited out on three species and all in all, had his best day's fishing by far. He was jubilant....

Then he remembered his wife. Feeling guilty he dashed to the hospital. He saw the doctor in the corridor and asked about his wife's condition.

The doctor glared at him and shouted, "You went ahead and kept fishing didn't you! I hope you're proud of yourself!

While you were out for the past four hours enjoying yourself on the pond, your wife has been languishing in the ICU!

It's just as well you went ahead and finished the fishing because it will be more than likely your last! For the rest of her life she will require round the clock care and you'll be her care giver!"

The man was feeling so guilty he broke down and sobbed.

The doctor snickered and said, "Just screwing with you.

She's dead. What'd you catch?
