Ice fish X-mas

Twas the night before Christmas
and all through the shack
The bobbers went down
but then they came back.
I looked down the hole
and that's when I saw it,
The biggest dang fish if that's whatcha call it.
It was so big, I almost fell over
I tripped on my rod and landed on Rover.
He held up his head and let out a bark
and ran through the door out into the dark.
I looked down the hole and it was still there
eyeing my minnow so I said a big prayer.
It decided to make my minnow his snack
it took the line out and wouldn't come back.
We fought for two hours, this fish was so big,
I wondered the size of of this monsterous pig.
And just when I realized I needed a gaff,
The fish came to top and started to laugh.
Humored by me and lack of a fight
He said,
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a Good Night!"
