I think it's McGuane that has a couple of the funniest bits I've ever seen written involving fishing. One of them describes a guy suffering a bout of Gout in his toe while in fish camp with his buddies. The other describes watching a guy follow a big fish down to a bridge abutment, then into the water and floating under the bridge, loosing the fish, and crawling up on shore, lying head down to drain out, and putting his sunglasses on. That kind of stuff takes real writting skill to make the reader roll out the big belly laugh. I did on both of those stories. Isn't McGuane an English professor or something?? Of course I might be wrong on the author, it's been a few years since I read them.

These are the idle thoughts that posses a man's mind when he's not able to fish.
