It happened on a regular weekend trip to one of the club's favorite lakes. On a hot summer day, Jerry hiked in to the lake. He set up his belly boat and paddled out to a favourite spot on the lake. After sitting out there unsuccessfully, he got into his favorite position (recliner mode) and dozed off. A group of fellow fisherman decided to play a trick on Jerry. They knew that he was asleep and that his line was out in the lake waiting for the "big one". They crossed their fishing line with his causing a jerk effect on his line. He awoke thinking that he had finally caught the "big one". Everyone laughed when they saw his reaction. He was disappointed that he had not caught a fish, but later Jerry would laugh with everyone else about the trick that had been played on him. Even though he didn't always catch fish, Jerry was happy to be doing one of the things that he loved to do the most…fishing with the guys.
