David Bass says "This is to make up a little for my beer battered fish recipe and other bad jokes I have told. I do not know the author - my mother cut this poem from a newspaper and framed it for me. It has been on my office wall for about 20 years."
An Angler's Prayer
I pray that I may fish until my dying day,
and, when it comes to my last cast;
I then most humbly pray,
when in the Lord's great landing net
and peacefully asleep;
that in His mercy I be judged
big enough to keep.
