Simple Match Fishing Forum

Father Norton woke up Sunday morning and realizing it was an exceptionally beautiful and sunny early spring day, decided he just had to go fishing.So he told the Associate Pastor that he was feeling sick and persuaded him to say Mass for him that day.

As soon as the Associate Pastor left the room, Father Norton headed out of town to a lake about forty miles away.

This way he knew he wouldn't accidentally meet anyone he knew from his parish.Setting up on the first peg he was alone. After all, it was Sunday morning and everyone else was in church.


At about this time, Saint Peter leaned over to the Lord while looking down from the heavens and exclaimed"You're not going to let him get away with this, are you?"The Lord sighed, and said, "No, I guess not."


Just then Father Norton cast his first lure and it shot straight towards the far bank, dropping just short of a Lily bed,a large Pike took it straight away it was 42lb and the largest fish the father had ever seen or caught.


St. Peter was astonished. He looked at the Lord and asked, "Why did you let him do that?"


The Lord smiled and replied, "Who's he going to tell?"
