The downside of a lucky streak

July 28, 2008

My friend Tony has suddenly hit a hot streak on splake. Yesterday on Indian Lake he landed three nice ones and one laker in an hour of fishing. Today he sent me a quick note from his Blackberry that he had one more laker in the boat. Then came the following message.

Almost had a heart attack. A 3 foot water snake just slithered past my feet
from the front to the back of the boat and went back behind the tanks. He
must have been in the forward locker.

Now he has to decide: does he get rid of the snake and end his lucky streak, or learn to live with his new mascot and reap the rewards?
