You know you are redneck when........................

[agaffer]

It is close to midnight and the temperature is in the 40's. Your keeping warm around the fire pit with wife and hunting partner and his wife. You have had a multi hour discussion about the various stories of why Bourbon is called Bourbon and along the way an entire bottle of Blanton's has become emptied. And you and your hunting partner decide the best way to spend the next hour is to paddle the canoe across the lake to check out your catfish lines. And, while taking a catfish off the line your canoe tips over but, not only do you never let go of the catfish during the tip over but you make sure he doesn't get away while you take a long, long, long swim in freezing water. Losing fishing gear, net, paddles, one flip flop but not the prize.

Nice catfish! I've flipped a few canoes in my day but managed to keep both flip-flops. They float better that my fishing rods did...
Your revenge will be a good fish fry.

 

[agaffer]

but managed to keep both flip-flops.

Your a better man than I. Between the cold and not being able to see cotton mouth snakes and alligators in the dark, looking for a floating flip flop was not a high priority. Did find it floating the next day along with the paddles. Net and fishing gear are history though.

Great night you had! And a fine looking catfish to boot.

Its all in jest AG. That's a win! A bragging size catfish and you got your gear back.
You got to be careful when George Dickle whispers in your ear," you can do this" He has got me in more trouble than I care to or can recall.
We have 2 of the 3 down here in S Fla but not much of that 40 degree stuff, that's kinds like a blizzard down here.
