‘Kernel Corn on a hook...’

The Summer season I was driver for our Battalion Commander, we did a LOT of fishing after hours. (That’s not ‘code’ for anything!) He had a special spot called ‘Big Sandy’ and we’d use corn kernels on bare hooks and always caught a mess of Rainbow Trout.

The best part? Sitting at the Commander’s Table at breakfast. He and I are eating Trout (that the Mess Sergeant fried up for us) while the rest of the plebes have to walk past us to the Mess Line, LOL!

Rank Hath Its Privileges! ;)

(Rank & Privileges!) Yes Sergent, so I understand! Fish fry for breakfast!

Corn kernals... unlike live bait, you can eat the leftovers! (Unless you are in Ranger training in the Jungle and do not catch any fish in which case you eat the bait.)
