Grandpop's fish

Ice fishing was popular
The water in the canal was really clear one day, you could see the bottom. Someone spotted a large fish and Grandpop got his fishing pole. The lure was near the fish but it wouldn't bite. Grandpop slowly started pulling the lure along the bank and the fish followed about a foot behind it. I'll never forget this, us kids were following along and he kept waving us back so we wouldn't scare the fish. We of course didn't listen and stayed right with him and the big fish. Finally after quite some distance, the fish bit and he caught it. I was glad he did catch it, he was so happy with that fish that he forgot all about yelling at us for almost scaring the thing off.
