These pictures here show me stuck in very soft clay. A guy in a Jeep came out to chat and when he tried to leave he just spun in the clay. I offered to unstuck him with confidence but got stuck myself. His Jeep is so light that it wouldn't really dig down, my truck just kept getting deeper and deeper.
With lots of digging and pulling with his Jeep we were able to pull it out. The two here are Amy and TJ Jones
When I go fishing by myself I bait Bobbie's pole and let it sit while I use mine with different techniques. During this little adventure I had left her pole baited. Later I went to get the camera to take these pictures and discovered that a fish, probably a good size catfish, swam off with the pole. You could see in the mud where the pole was drug into the water. Amy told me that their neighbor caught a 93 lb. catfish just across from where we were. I don't think it was quite that big but it got me excited to catch a big fish. After getting unstuck I caught two more cats.

I think Bobbie (aunt Bobbie) as Josh says is Joshua's hero. He is a die hard fisherman and was very impressed with her catch! He has brought it up a number of times. Sunni
It's a good thing Bobbie wasn't holding onto the pole when it was dragged off. Now that would have been funny.
By the way, isn't admitting that a Jeep had to pull your formerly-know-as "mantruck" out of the mud like saying, "Yesterday, I wore ladies underwear."
Yeah I know. I said man, what a night. I lost a fishing pole, I lost my pride. It was crazy how it all happened.
For some reason, the blogs are working today at work, so I showed your catfish to Von Wright, one of the teachers here. He's a big ol' black guy from Arkansas who loves catfish. He also just got one of our district vehicles stuck in the mud the other day. He was cracking up when he saw your truck stuck in the mud. He said, "Man, that ain't no truck, gettin' stuck in the mud. He better go turn those keys back into the dealer." He also suggested, next time just tie the fishing line to the truck and let one of those big ol' catfish pull the truck out.
He couldn't stop laughing.
What's that like, getting stuck in the mud and all. I tried getting stuck in the mud once in my truck but the mud got scared and just ran away. John
